⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4.5
Thank you NetGalley & Liv Constantine for the ARC!

I absolutely loved the first book The Last Mrs. Parrish and I was so excited to hear there was a sequel coming out this June.

This one did not disappoint and I loved that she brought in a new character, Daisy-Ann. I was not expecting the ending and I was thrilled how many twist and turns there were!

I highly recommend this series if you haven’t read it yet. Liv is a genius and I cannot wait to continue reading her books.

Coming June 2024! The Next Mrs. Parrish is the sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish and the novella, The First Shot. I didn’t realize that I needed a sequel to dive in deeper to these characters, but I’m glad we have it now. Amber and Jackson are back and meaner than ever. I couldn’t wait to see what happened next!
I don’t think you necessarily need to read The First Shot in order to understand what happens in this story, but it does help to know some background info. Luckily the author fills us in during The Next Mrs. Parrish in case you missed it.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bantam for my ARC in exchange for my review!

This book was very good, but I feel like it was a little long winded. I do think that it was a good follow up to the first book.

I love these co-author/sisters books. Loved the first in this series The Last Mrs. Parrish, so I was so EXCITED when I saw they were writing another story about Daphne and Amber, the two Mrs. Parrish’s.

Daphne was the first Mrs. Parrish and Amber is the next one. I have to say both of these ladies are so darn resourceful. Daphne escaped Jackson along with their two girls. Amber is now with Jackson and they have a small son. She has finally got what she wants as a socialite, but Jackson has been in prison for tax-evasion and is about to get out. Amber wants plans on leaving Jackson.
Bishops Harbor is where they live and things get crazy. When Daphne left years ago she planned to never go back, but their daughter is struggling and the therapist wants her to take her back to Bishops Harbor to spend time with their dad. He agrees and the plans are to spend the summer in town so the children can get to know their step-brother and spend time with their dad.

As you can imagine that does not go well for either wife. Daphne has protected her daughters from the past, but trouble starts soon after their arrival.

Non-stop action as these two women navigate their past, present and future with Jackson. Ambers past is catching up with her and Daphne wants a future without all the drama.
Get ready for one crazy ride with all the drama, characters and Jackson’s ways….

I will start by saying that I really enjoyed the first book, The Last Mrs. Parrish, and I had extremely high expectations for the second novel in the Mrs. Parrish series. This sequel, The Next Mrs. Parrish, did not have me sitting on the edge of my seat like the first novel, however there were some twists I did not see coming, especially near the end, that elevated the reading experience. This book can be read as a standalone book, however reading The Last Mrs. Parrish will give you so much empathy for Daphne. Also, if you have a chance, check out the prequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish, The First Shot, for another glimpse into devious, conniving Amber.

I look forward to listening to this book when it comes out in its audio format.

I am going to round this book up to a 4, however it is more like a 3.5.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House publishing for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Great sequel and story. Started out a little predictable and I couldn’t believe that the story seemed like it was following the first book. Then I loved how Daisy Ann came
Into the story. Loved the ending. Thanks for the ARC NetGalley

Wow. Liv Constantine peaked with the original Mrs. Parrish and has gone downhill since. The plot is ridiculous. I could not be less interested. I really wanted to like this. Was so looking forward to it. There were also a lot of mistakes. One scene described the house in Long island instead of on Long island sound.

This book continues where the first one left off! Daphne and her daughters having escaped Jackson and his abusive ways are thriving in California. Amber is enjoying life while Jackson is in prison and finding ways to spend and hide his money before he gets out so she can escape.

Once Jackson gets out of prison the nightmares begin all over again for these women and the drama ensues. The twists and turns in this book are as crazy as the first. I really enjoyed this book and was not disappointed. It was left at another cliffhanger, which makes me think there may be one more in the future. This book is was an ARC read for me and will be published June 18, 2024. Definitely one to put on your list. And read the first before hand if you haven’t already! Thank you to Random House and NetGalley for the ARC! #TheNextMrsParrish#NetGalley#RandomHousePublishingGroup-Ballantine

I loved the first book. It was so good and I have been waiting for this second book. When I was approved for this ARC, I immediately set aside my TBR to read this one. So, I think I had high hopes and was quite disappointed. This one really was not great, and I believe it is primarily due to having to suffer through two terrible characters. There was too much focus on Amber and it made me cringe each time.

⭐️3.5
FIRST-before you read this, read the prequel “The Last Mrs. Parrish”.

I was thrilled to receive this ARC because TLMP was a ⭐️5 read that I finished in one sitting. I LOVED it!

This book left me a little underwhelmed, parts were unrealistic and I was a little disappointed.

Here’s what I DID like-the different POV in each chapter, fast paced throughout, and I think it sets us up that there might be a book number three in this series?

If so, I will definitely read it.

Thank you NetGalley and Random house publishing group-Bantam for the advanced copy.
Publication date: June 18, 2024

Five stars isn't enough for this book! The suspense will have you flying through the chapters. I also loved experiencing this story through three narrators. Fans of the first book will not be disappointed! It exceeded my expectations and is definitely going to be one of my top reads for 2024.
Thank you for the opportunity to read and review Netgalley!

I finished this page turning sequel last night. It had been sometime since i finished the first installment of Mrs. Parrish and it took a minute to remember all the details but i really enjoyed this book. It was super cringey in regards to the emotional and mental abuse Daphne was subjected to (likely the point)- it hit hard and I really felt for her. The characters were intertwined just right for everything to unfold and wrap up nicely! 4 stars from me! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to read this book early, will definitely share with all of my reader friends

Thank you net galley and publisher for this ARC. I enjoyed this book so much, after about 25% I couldn't put it down. What a great sequel, I highly recommend this book.

📚: The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine
⭐️: 3.5/5 (rounding down on #goodreads)

The Mrs. Parrishes - both Amber and Daphne - are back in this much-anticipated sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish with another game of cat-and-mouse that exposes secrets from the past and present, lies, and manipulation.

Jackson Parrish comes home from his prison sentence for tax evasion as a “changed man” (but is he really?). Amber can feel her money draining - and quick - and needs to figure out how to get cash fast to keep up with her Bishops Harbor lifestyle. Daphne, after moving her children out to California, vowing to never return to Connecticut, finds herself torn when her eldest daughter is desperate to see her father. Returning home is tough, but in this case, also dangerous.

I cannot stress enough that reading the prequel novella The Last Shot is absolutely mandatory before picking up this sequel when it comes out. (Amber’s backstory that plays out in the [absolutely brilliant] novella plays a huge role in the plot.)

A bit of a slow burn in the first half, but overall a very strong 3.5 star read - rounding down because, yes, it doesn’t quite live up fully to the original that was 4 stars. Huge thanks to Random House - Ballantine (@randomhouse) via @netgalley for the digital ARC. The Next Mrs. Parrish is out this summer, on June 18th — mark your calendars because this is a definite beach read.

✨Thank you @NetGalley and @randomhouse for providing me with an Advanced Reader Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Also, thank you to @livconstantine2 for always writing page-turners!

✨In an exquisite sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish, Amber and Daphne return with the hardships that come along with being socialites in the spotlight.

✨Awaiting Jackson’s release from prison on a tax-evasion sentence, Amber has an intricate plan to take off from Bishop’s Harbor. Money is dwindling and she must do whatever is necessary to get by.

✨Daphne has left Bishop’s Harbor after her divorce from Jackson years ago, promising never to return. But when she slowly starts making her way back with their children in tow, she has to remember Jackson can’t be trusted.

✨While a woman from Amber’s past resurfaces, she is hell-bent on revenge. Unlikely allies, no one to trust, and games of cat and mouse, Amber, Daphne, and Jackson are all in for a big surprise.

✨As always, Liv Constantine knows how to hold an audience at attention! This was a fabulous sequel, well-written, and full of dramatic revenge. And of course, the cover is superb 🤩

I liked this book. A fast read and glad amber and Jackson got what was coming to them. Perfect ending for Jackson. I liked the addition of daisy ann and didn’t see a few twists and turns. Glad everything worked out for Daphne and her girls. Would highly recommend.

First, thanks so much NetGalley for the chance to read The Next Mrs. Parrish!

I'm a huge Liv Constantine fan! I loved The Last Mrs. Parish and The First Shot, so I was beyond excited when I got approved and I was NOT disappointed!

Amber, Daphne, and Jackson are back with lots of drama, twists and turns in The Next Mrs. Parish!

Liv did it again with this one! The next Mrs. Parish kept me on the edge of my set and guessing. Everytime I thought I had figured something out, we take a turn in another direction! I loved this series and sincerely hope this is not the last book of it!!

I was glad to read about these characters again.

I’m glad it seemed like everyone got what they deserved. This wasn’t as a much as a page turner as the first book, but still enjoyed overall.

Daisy Anne was a good addition to the POVs and her story line added some good dimension.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an ecopy of this book which comes out in June!

This was a tough one. I really wanted to like this, but it was long and drawn out and I didn't like any of the characters. The dialogue felt stunted and the book read like a procedural. I stopped halfway through and read some reviews to see if it was worth continuing. Reviews were mixed, so I pushed forward, skimming the second half. The idea was there, I just didn't like the writing.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I loved the last mrs. Parrish and was nervous because sometimes sequels that come out years later aren't that great but this one isn't that. Its amazing! Loved this book and the addition of Daisy. Very well written and left it open for another book or story!
