Loved this book! Actually liked more than the first which says a lot because I loved the first. Such a fun twisty read!!! Loved the progression of the characters and the justice they all deserved! Highly recommend!!

The Next Mrs. Parrish is a sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine. Spoilers if you did not read the first book yet...

Picking up from the plot of the first book, Daphne returns to Bishops Harbor for the summer with her girls. Jackson releases from jail and plots to win Daphne back. In exchange of a divorce, Amber will leave with her small fortune. But before she can start anew, her figure from her past makes an appearance and she seeks revenge.

I honestly thought The Last Mrs. Parrish would fare well as a standalone -- while the ending left potential for a sequel, it was conclusive. But since it was a bestseller, a sequel did not surprise me much either. The second book felt unnecessary in the beginning but it did leave a more conclusive ending and satisfying karma for both antagonists.

If you read the first book and enjoyed it, make sure to read this one too. Thank you to Netgalley, author Liv Constantine, and publisher Random House for providing me with an ARC, in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

The sequel I didn’t know I needed!

The Next Mrs. Parrish is written through 3 different POVs and I enjoyed reading each of their stories and trying to figure out how everyone played a role in this book.

The book kept me engaged throughout the entire time I was reading it and I never fully knew where the story was going which is something that I love in these kinds of stories.

This could definitely be a standalone but in order to get the full enjoyment out of this book as well as know all the backstory that is important to this book then you must read The Last Mrs. Parrish first.

Thanks to netgalley for the arc! I love all of liv Constantine books so I was excited to read this early. The last Mrs Parrish was one of my favorite books when it was released and I was skeptical of why it needed a sequel. the author did a good job of providing a back story for amber which was a question I had following the first book.

I will say this is more of a drama rather than a thriller, but a lot of twists and turns that are hard to predict. I did take off a star because towards the end it got annoying with how many little twists were happening that were so unrealistic. Daphne also drove me crazy!

Overall an easy summer read but it wasn’t my favorite liv Constantine book.

Also posted to goodreads.

I liked this one almost as much as the first one. New characters and a longer backstory for Amber made this one hard to put down. Poetic justice is served at the end, although some of the details seemed unlikely. The stories tie together in a way that made it necessary for me to reread a bit of it. But I got behind it at the end. Definitely worth reading if you liked the first one!

Thank you to NetGalley, Random House Publishing Group, and Liv Constantine for an ARC of this book.
Expected publication June 18, 2024

Jackson is getting out of prison. "New" mommy Amber has to figure out her next plan. Daphne is living in California with her girls and mom. Things seem to be going well for everyone, until...

I felt this book was a slow burn for me. I had mixed feelings- I liked it but didn't at the same time. I hated the characters including Daphne at times. I wanted to see Daphne succeed and that is what kept me reading, but sometimes some of the story lines seemed too far fetched.

I couldn't understand where Daisy Ann fit in and her character was introduced out of nowhere to me. I wish there was more backstory to her and she was introduced differently.

There were some story lines that seemed out of place or briefly touched upon (Daphne's new love interest, her mom going on her vacation, etc). I also do not think a woman who dealt with such trauma and abuse (and also moved across the country) would put themselves and their children back into their abusers life just to make their kid happy. I know this is fictional writing and the writers had to get Daphne back to Bishops Harbor somehow, it just made no sense to me.

This was so good. The twist caught me completely off guard. I can’t wait for the next one. I don’t want to spoil anything but everyone got exactly what they deserved

"Daphne and Amber Parrish are thrust back into each other’s lives upon the resurgence of a long-forgotten threat, forcing a vicious game of cat and mouse where everything is on the line, in this thrilling sequel to the million-copy-bestselling Reese’s Book Club pick The Last Mrs. Parrish.

“Delicious and shocking, The Next Mrs. Parrish is an incredibly entertaining and compulsive tale of revenge and deception you won’t want to miss.”—Jeneva Rose, New York Times bestselling author of You Shouldn’t Have Come Here"


It was great fun to enter the world of Daphne, Jackson and Amber again. This time with the addition of Daisy Anne who knows Amber from her previous marriage. There were many times during this book where i wanted to yell out loud at Daphne because of the decisions she was making that led her and her girls right back into Jackson's orbit. I also have a lot of concern for Jax and how he would fair during the "battle" between Jackson and Amber.

This book was kind of slow and repetitive until the last few chapters when everything happened very rapid.ly. The final few pages did give us a satisfying ending.

I really loved the first book in this series. This one felt like it started in the middle of a paragraph. I was lost from the very beginning. I ended up not finishing it because it just did not flow well.

The Next Mrs. Parrish was a book that you didn’t know you needed after the Last Mrs. Parrish. I totally enjoyed this story and many times out loud, I was thinking – who thinks of this stuff, but kept reading and loving it! I was excited to be chosen for the ARC reading of this title. Thank you Net Galley. I just reviewed The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine. #TheNextMrsParrish #NetGalley

I'm gonna be honest and say why .I chose this book. It was because my last name is Parrish.
But I never dreamed that it would be this good!
Amber was quite the character. I had mixed feelings about her along with her nemesis Daphne.
I couldn't put it down until this book was finished.
In parts of this book I was floored with some of the shenanigans from both women. I really wasn't sure at first who to believe.
I'm also gonna say that even though there is another book before this one ( which of course I didn't know) I could still understand the battle between the two women. This is what kept my attention all the way through.
The author has done a fantabulous job in making this story believable and realistic. I could feel their anger towards each other through the pages and some wasn't nice.
This is my 2nd favorite read of the year so far. I didn't want the story to end.
This book has quite the mystery which of course is what made it my favorite.
I'm giving this novel 5 stars.. I highly recommend!
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review. 

Amanda, Jackson, & Daphne are back. When the book begins Jackson is in jail, married to Amanda and Daphne has managed a life away from it all.

Tallulah wants to see her dad and Daphne agrees to go back to Bishops Harbor and that’s where it all goes wrong.

I don’t know to even rate this and to me the book was just ok. You have an abuse victim going back to her abuser. I know that many will enjoy it as it did being more of Amanda’s past into the story.

I did love how it all ended for both Jackson and Amanda.

This was a pretty interesting read. Having not read the first book I was worried I would be lost, but the story was interesting and the characters reminded you what happened in the last book. It would make a great movie and I like that it left the option for another book.

The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine is the sequel to the popular The Last Mrs. Parrish. There’s also a prequel to the series called The Last Shot and is a must read!

After Jackson is released from prison, Amber’s free reign is coming to an end as Jackson has other plans for her, Daphne and his kids.

There’s definitely some entertaining characters in this book, you never know what they’re going to do next and if you’re like me you certainly don’t like all of them! This book delivers some twists and and turns that will keep you turning the pages well past your bedtime! Definitely recommend!

Exciting sequel to the Next Mrs. Parrish! I would highly recommend reading the first book as well as the novella, First Shot, before reading this one to get the full story and most fulfilling experience. But this can be read as a stand alone if necessary. In this story, Daphne finds herself trapped back in Jackson’s sick world but the stakes are even higher this time. Amber continues her evil, sociopathic ways. And Jackson, well let’s just say that “you reap what you sow” and I loved how this ended! Thank you Netgalley, Random House Publishing Ballantine and the authors for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. This book will be available for purchase on June 18, 2024

One of those rare books that I actually enjoy the sequel more than the first book!
So intriguing to see where the lives of the main characters go and we get EVEN MORE background on just what makes them who they are today.

Pros:
As gripping and exciting as the first one!

Cons:
Not quite believable. I can’t believe how unlikeable most characters are, but you knew it would work out well in the end. Speaking of the ending - that was just out of left field - it was a way to wrap up the story, but didn’t really fit with the rest of the book.

3 stars/B-

This was a fun escapist read but I did not like it as much as the first book. Some of the plot elements were completely over the top and I struggled with the (at times) generic dialogue.

I didn’t find this one as gripping as The Last Mrs. Parrish because the characters were defined and developed in that book which lead the reader to be less surprised in the actions of them in this one. With that said, the book was still very enjoyable to read and there were twists that came unexpectedly. The chapters switch through character points of view which gave the reader a sense of multiple story-lines occurring which kept you engaged throughout.

"The Next Mrs. Parrish" is a gripping psychological thriller that will keep readers guessing until the very end. With its compelling characters, intricate plot, and jaw-dropping twists, it is sure to captivate fans of the genre. Whether you’re a seasoned thriller enthusiast or simply looking for a book that will keep you up all night, "The Next Mrs. Parrish" is a must-read. Just be prepared to question everything you thought you knew about ambition, deception, and the pursuit of happiness.
