The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine

Look, I love complex, selfish, unlikable characters. There are a good two hundred pages of lunch dates, designer dresses, charity events, and Amber hating every single person around her. Especially in the first half where we stay inside the mind of the despicable con-artist, Amber Patterson, as she plants herself into the life of Daphne Parrish and tries to steal her rich husband.

All spoilers have been hidden.įirstly, this book is so slow and boring.

There are a number of reasons why and some are hard to talk about without giving important things away. This is the first book in a long time that I've actually HATED. Parrish is a fresh, juicy, and utterly addictive thriller from a diabolically imaginative talent. With shocking turns and dark secrets that will keep you guessing until the very end, The Last Mrs. But a skeleton from her past may undermine everything that Amber has worked towards, and if it is discovered, her well-laid plan may fall to pieces. Before long, Amber is Daphne’s closest confidante, traveling to Europe with the Parrishes and their lovely young daughters, and growing closer to Jackson. Amber uses Daphne’s compassion and caring to insinuate herself into the family’s life-the first step in a meticulous scheme to undermine her. To everyone in the exclusive town of Bishops Harbor, Connecticut, Daphne-a socialite and philanthropist-and her real-estate mogul husband, Jackson, are a couple straight out of a fairy tale.Īmber’s envy could eat her alive. She deserves more-a life of money and power like the one blond-haired, blue-eyed goddess Daphne Parrish takes for granted.

She’s tired of being a nobody: a plain, invisible woman who blends into the background. equally as twisty, spellbinding, and addictive as Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl or Paula Hawkins’s The Girl on the Train.”-Library Journal (starred review)Īmber Patterson is fed up.
