A breezy summer read that didn’t quite live up to the original for me. While it was an easy read to be back with the Parrishes and their web of domestic lies, the drama was comically over the top. Read it if you want something fluffy for the beach or the pool.

Not as good as the first but still a good read. I would recommend reading the first book. This one was frustrating with the protagonist returning to her abusive husband.

This book was spectacular! But the authors kept me on pins and needles for most of the book with the thought that two of the most viperous characters I’ve ever encountered might get away with their heinous plots.
The backstabbing, lying, betraying, and scheming went on chapter after chapter and I admittedly was fuming while I read, uncertain that the good character would prevail.
I should have known better because the reckoning was sweet and fitting!!
Jackson the biggest jerk ever and Amber whose mothering would make a crocodile look maternal got their just desserts.

I honestly loved this even more than the first! However I am happy I read the first shot in between the two so I already had the backstory on the characters introduced. That final twist at the end blew me away! I loved the way things came together in the end!

So many twists! Took a little bit for me to get into it but was eventually hooked & on the edge of my seat. Loved The Last Mrs. Parrish & think the authors did a great job with the sequel.

This is a long awaited sequel for me and Liv didn’t disappoint. This book centers around Daphne, Amber and Daisy Ann. I appreciate how the author wove all of their storylines together in a way that gave you separate stories but a cohesiveness that was tied up nicely at the end. The story kept me engaged the entire time and I can’t wait for Liv Constantine’s next book!

It has been so long since I read The Last Mrs. Parrish. I remembered really liking it and I have read all Liv Constantine novels since. Overall, I love this writing duo, so I was VERY excited to get an advanced ecopy of The Next Mrs. Parrish. (In addition, I won a hard copy from Goodreads Giveaways!) It was a perfect summer thriller. Amber was a great villain. Jax was too over-the-top in his mechanizations for me to really have fun with his character. Daphne's situation with Jax and how he was tricking her into coming back to him, definitely not believable. However, overall, a very fast-paced thriller with some new characters to both root for and some to root against. Anyone who was a fan of The Last Mrs. Parrish will likely enjoy this one.

Mrs. Parrish is back! Both of them. (SPOILER ALERT if you haven't yet read The Last Mrs. Parrish) At the end of the first book, Daphne and her daughters had fled to California to get away from Jackson, who was serving several years in prison for white collar crimes. Meanwhile, Amber's plan of trapping Jackson by marriage and pregnancy had worked, with the birth of baby Jax. In this next installment, the bitterness between Daphne and Amber rages on, as Jackson and Amber try to pursue revenge against the ex-wife who ruined his reputation. Daphne finds herself and her daughters thrown back into the drama of Bishop's Harbor, desperately trying to escape Jackson and Ambre once and for all. I absolutely adored The Next Mrs. Parrish and wasn't sure what to expect in a sequel, as t he book closed out with a neatly tied ending. But I'm so glad that the Constantine sisters reprised these characters for an additional tale. There is a side storyline in this book that follows a new character, Daisy Ann, that I also found interesting and fun. I HIGHLY recommend reading the first book prior to this, or else things likely won't make sense.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine | Bantam for an ARC of this title in exchange for my honest feedback.

The Next Mrs. Parrish was a good book to get lost in by the pool. I enjoyed the follow up to The First Mrs. Parrish. I was glad I had the opportunity to read this as an ARC.

This was a fun read! It may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I rather enjoyed it. Amber and Jack are still the worst but we need the drama it’s entertaining. We get a backstory on Amber and introduced to a new character in this twisted thriller.
Thank you #netgalley for an advanced copy

I enjoyed “The Last Mrs. Parrish” several years ago, and I was curious how the authors would create a sequel. I found this a well-paced, quick read with several twists along the way. It was hard to read about some of the abuse Daphne faced, but I believe the authors presented in an accurate and respectful way. Would recommend, especially if you enjoyed book 1.

What a FUN second installment!! I absolutely loved The Last Mrs. Parish and was honored when I got access to this e-arc! This book was filled with drama, backstabbing, secrets, and shocking behavior. The characters were so toxic that I couldn’t get enough.

I enjoyed getting back into this world but I do have to say this book didn’t hold my attention like the first one did. At this point I sort of feel like the first book is being mimicked and I can fairly easily anticipate what is going to happen which was what made the first book so amazing.

This was not my favorite. I think there shouldn’t have been a sequel to the first book. This felt boring and there were too many characters. Everyone was so dumb and it was all very unrealistic.

Liv Constantine is the queen of twists you'll never see coming! Shock and awe and if you've think you've guessed it you are 100 percent WRONG!

Faster paced and more action packed than the first installment, this was a fun ride. While the first book spends a lot of time slow-burning up to the plot twist reveal, this follows Amber and Jackson's ongoing scheming and attempts to outmaneuver one another. It manages both a satisfying and cliffhanger ending all in one. Another great summer read for your TBR!

Ooof, wanted to love this sequel but there were too many characters at play. There's such a thing as too much plot and strangely I think this book suffered from it.

Overall, I found this book enjoyable. It was a little difficult to get into at times but I remembered really liking the first one. It was great to finally see some things wrapped up, and get questions answered that were lingering from the first book.
I would recommend reading the first book before this one otherwise it won’t make as much sense.

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to read “The Next Mrs. Parrish”. This was a fast paced book that did a nice job of reviewing what happened in the first book in a way that flowed with the new plot. It was full of well timed twists and turns. Jackson and Amber are truly awful characters, but I didn’t mind reading about them again. Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for the digital ARC of “The Next Mrs. Parrish”.

The Next Mrs. Parrish, by Liv Constantine, struck me as a mixed bag. The first part of the novel could be subtitled "Wealthy, Self-Indulgent Women Acting Poorly." I'm somewhat bored with the brand name dropping and detailed descriptions of clothes, jewelry, and furniture. Nonetheless, once past that we are plunged into the heart of a twisty, tawdry story of tricks and double crossing involving all the characters of the previous book with a few new ones thrown in. Although it was sometimes difficult to distinguish the bad actors from the good, it was lots of fun and the ending was well worth the ride. Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group- Ballantine Books for the opportunity to read a digital ARC. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.
