When I received this book, I was so thrilled. I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish, so I could not wait to dive into Liv Constantine's latest book. It was a twisty, roller coaster of a narrative journey. Without giving too much away, what I liked about this book is that there are multiple plot twists in this book vs. just the singular "whodunnit" question. We know that the book begins with the death of beloved Lily Michaels' murder, but what unfolds from there is a wild ride.

The characters are complex and nuanced. The pace is mostly on point, and readers will want to race to the end to see how it wraps up.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and Harper for a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review. This book hits shelves in time for summer reading lists on 5/7/2019.

Wowzer!!! I love reading a fantastic mystery/thriller that becomes all consuming—Liv Constantine (two sisters who co-author under this name) definitely came through big time with The Last Time I Saw You! Throughout this epic “who done it”, I was completely baffled and spun around pretty much the entire way through. I wasn’t sure what characters were trustworthy and I loved pealing away layer upon creepy layer of everyone’s crazy backstories! The storyline was so well planned and executed! The well-timed twists and turns had their own twists and turns (and you will not see them coming)!!! The Last Time I Saw You is a 5 star read that will leave you chilled to the bone (in the best possible way lol)! I haven’t read Liv Constantine’s debut novel, The Last Mrs. Parrish, but I am absolutely going to be putting that at the top of my TBR list!!!

The last time I saw you

I had the opportunity to read this book thanks to NetGalley, Harper Collins Publishers, and Liv Constantine.

The book opens with a woman dying on the floor. It turns out to be the protagonist’s (Kate) mother.
On the surface, she has everything with her money, husband and daughter, and successful medical practice. However, it is clear that there are many secrets in Kate’s past and her relationship with her husband, Simon, is indeed quite strained. Another character who is introduced is her former best friend who comes to the funeral and does not get along with Simon. Kate suddenly begins to receive threatening messages and it seems she is next on the killer’s list. This books has plenty of plot twists and surprises and reads very easily.
I loved this book as much as “The Last Mrs. Parrish”. It is well written and highly entertaining. I will continue to look out for further books by Liv Constantine. I will definitely recommend to friends and family!
Thank you again NetGalley!

This is the first thriller that I’ve read in months where I haven’t guessed the ending right away! This is a cant put down, read in one sitting book! Liv Constantine does it again

I received an ARC of this novel from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Novel about murder, friendship, and mental illness

Really a 3.5 but I'm going to give this book the benefit of the doubt and round up. This book should definitely land in your pool bag this summer, because it has all of the elements of a juicy beach read. It starts off slow (and to be honest I kind of had a hard time following..) And the middle is AMAZINGly entertaining and I could hardly put it down. The end kind of goes off the rails a little bit. I honestly had the feeling that the writers were pulling out all of the crazy stops. But honestly I didn't mind it that much. It's a fun psychological thriller type book and.. bonus, it's super duper soapy and over the top. So I'd recommend. :)

Drew me in from the first page from the first scene.A book where nothing is as it seems where each character leads to more twists and turns more shocks.I did not want to put it down highly recommend.#netgalley #harpercollins

Liv Constantine created high expectations for this novel since her acclaimed The Last Mrs. Parrish. The Last Time I Saw You follows the traditional psychological thriller plot, but it did not have quite the same grip as the first novel. It was engaging, but for me, fell apart a bit towards the end with too basic of explanations and some unrealistic turns. It did redeem itself on the last pages which I thought were great though. Even though this probably isn't going to have the same response as The Last Mrs. Parrish, it's still a strong, fast read for lovers of this genre.

After Kate’s mom is brutally murdered, she begins to receive menacing text messages from an unknown number. As her anxiety grows, she begins to suspect everyone close to her, from her estranged husband to her daughter’s nanny. Alternating between Kate’s perspective and Blaire, an old friend she had a falling out with over her dislike of Kate’s husband, the threats escalate until Kate’s paranoia comes to a head.

I found Kate’s propensity to jump to conclusions increasingly frustrating. One of the big reveals (what Lily and Harrison had been fighting about) was really predictable, as were most of the ancillary mysteries. The big whodunit lacked impact and was just thrown in there because at that point, who cares who killed Lily?

I both loved and hated the time jump ending. I thought it was creative, but also didn’t track with the rest of the story. If I were to go back and reread the book, the ending still wouldn’t have fit with the majority of the story. I wasn’t as disappointed as I was after The Last Mrs. Parrish, but this tops out at 3.5 stars for me.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publishers and the Constantine sisters for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

While reading this type of taunt thriller my advice is usually "go with your gut" but Liv Constantine is very good at turning the tables on the reader as is the case with her newest. Kate and Blaire were the best of friends, closer than sisters, until their friendship fallout over Kate's choice of husband. Years down the road they come back together at the funeral of Kate's murdered mother. Blaire remains at Kate's side when evil and weird things begin to happen because that is what lifelong friends do. Blaire thinks it is Kate's husband who is behind everything but how can she convince Kate that she is right in her mistrust. A twisty plot that begs to be read in one sitting and try as you might to trust your gut, you might be wrong. My thanks to the publisher for the advance copy.

When I saw that a book by Liv Constantine was coming out I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it as I had enjoyed their last book The Last Mrs Parrish very much.
Needless to say this does not disappoint. It’s is twisty and the characters are real. The women and men are manipulative and flawed. The plot is thick and interesting. It’s not a straightforward whodunit. It’s got a few plot lines and that makes this very relatable and believable. It’s a complex mesh of human behavior and traits. The dynamics between various characters are tense and add to the plot. This make it a hard to guess/figure out kind of a book. I really enjoyed it immensely. It wasn’t at all simple and straightforward. The twists that kept coming made it a very enjoyable read. The ending was detailed and tied up all the threads nicely.
It was a hard to put down book; the Constantine sisters have delivered yet another bestseller for sure!

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Collins Publishers for giving me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins Publisher for an ARC in exchange for a review.

Dr. Kate English's mother has just been murdered. She is reunited with her estranged friend, Blaire, who returned to pay her respects to Kate's mother. It's apparent that there is tension between Blaire and Kate's husband, Simon. When Kate starts getting text messages and emails stating that she will be the next victim, Blaire, who is a best-selling crime author, starts to dig and look for her own answers.
Throughout this book, we get POVs from both Kate and Blaire. Blaire, on her mission to find the murderer and Kate, who is becoming overwhelmed with anxiety and can't trust herself on what she did and did not do.
The authors did a great job early on with introducing the characters who are potential suspects. It definitely kept me guessing. The ending chapter with Blaire' POV was great, too. I only gave it three stars, because I didn't feel it was a psychological thriller. It was more of a murder mystery/whodonit. It was an easy, fast read, though, as I flew through it--especially the last half.

I really wanted to like this book as I loved their book The Last Mrs. Parrish. Unfortunately this didn’t hold a candle to that book. It was sloppy, too many red herring suspects and not believable at all. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book. I wish I could give a better review. Many people may love this book but I was not one of them.

I was really excited to get this as "wish" on netgalley. Thank you #harpercollins for granting that wish.

I loved Liv Constantine's first book so I was really looking forward to this one. Slightly predictable, but I found it to be well-written as well as an enjoyable, quick read. I would have liked a little more mystery and a lot more twists.

I do enjoy her writing style and look forward to seeing what this author comes up with next!
3.5/5

Thank you #netgalley and #harpercollinspublishers for this eARC.

This was a good twisty read. As good as The Last Mrs. Parrish? No, not even close but it was an enjoyable murder mystery.

Kate's mother Lily is murdered and there are numerous people under suspicion. But is the murderer after Kate also? Her old friend Blaire arrives and begins to use her mystery writing skills to figure out who is stalking Kate! The twists and turns of the story keep you guessing.

My review is based on an advance reader copy

*Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.*

First things first; "The Last Mrs. Parrish" is one of my favorite books. Since this is the next book written by the authors, I was very, very excited and had insanely high hopes for this novel. My thoughts: this is a good thriller. I am not sure a reader will figure out "who-dunnit" which is something I LOVE! Did I particularly love the explanation behind who the guilty one/ones were? No, but the book was well written and creepy and kept me guessing, which is still a win in my book.

I may have been totally freaking out for the chance to get to read this! I absolutely loved The Last Mrs Parrish so I was thrilled to get the opportunity to read this new book! Thank you thank you thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review!!! This didn’t disappoint! Another score and I have no doubt that this book is gonna be seen around the pool this summer! It’s the perfect summer thriller! I couldn’t put this down!

Such a let down. I loved The Last Mrs. Parrish so I couldn’t wait to read The Last Time I Saw You. The characters are BORING, ridiculously wealthy, spoiled brats. The last quarter of the book was decent but it wasn’t worth everything that came before it. I will wait for more reviews before picking up another book by this duo.

Okay.........so let's sort this one out.

The Last Time I Saw You opens with a dying woman. She's face down on a marble floor. Gotta be some money involved here. We feel the life slowly seeping out of her. The circumstances around this tragic scene have yet to be revealed. The light fades and so does our victim.

Enter Dr. Kate English, a pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon, who sits in complete shock upon hearing about the death of her mother., Lily Michaels. She and Lily were so close. Her father, Dr. Harrison Michaels, is lost without his wife's presence and returns to his practice after the funeral. Lily was his world.

Kate, on the other hand, is unable to set her own life back in motion as the mother of young Annabelle and the wife of architect, Simon. She's taken time off from her shared practice with her father and has become more reclusive at home. Something just doesn't seem right in regard to her mother's death. If this was a burglary gone wrong, nothing was taken. The only evidence is a broken window.

To add to her worries, Simon and Kate had been separated for a while and he's only recently moved back in. It appears that Simon has a roving eye. Simon also can't stop the financial bleeding in his architect business. Simon Says: Can ya lend me a dime?

The stage revolves and an ol' friend from the past shows up for Lily's funeral. Blaire Barrington and Kate were inseparable as teenagers. They had a falling out when Blaire spoke up and told Kate that she shouldn't be marrying Simon. He wasn't good enough for her. Decked out in bridesmaid dress attire, Blaire leaves the wedding party and the two have never spoken since. But Lily's death forms a point of reunion and forgiveness for both women. Blaire decides to stay at Kate's to provide comfort to her and to sift through events leading up to Lily's death.

Now here's where Liv Constantine (actually two sister writers under one name) ladle on the creepy sauce. Kate begins to receive threatening texts containing eerie nursery rhymes. Dead mice and birds find their way into the master bedroom. And it appears that someone is watching Kate's every move.The more that things start going down hill, the more Valium rolls out.

The Last Time I Saw You is a munchy little mystery. But, at times, it's a check-off-the-necessary-ingredients type of read. We've got a slew of suspects and a slew of daily weird events packed tight on every page. You'll see it coming, but the coming will just have a change of costume this time. The wrap-up is thick with explanations to make sure that no loose ends dangle. It's a lot to sift through. As I've always said, take this one out for a test drive yourselves. It's received quite the reviews. It's perfect for a weekend read as it does entertain.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for an honest review. My thanks to Harper Collins and to Liv Constantine for the opportunity.
