Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. When I was invited to read this I literally dropped everything else to read this as I did not even know there was a sequel coming out!

This was a very entertaining book with delicious twists and turns as the first book did. Revenge makes for a good book. Definitely recommend.

I was so excited to receive an ARC of this book because I absolutely loved The Last Mrs. Parrish.

I do recommend reading the prequel before reading this book, it’s called The First shot.

I do feel like this book could’ve been about 70 pages shorter. There were some details that were too wordy for me.

Overall, the story was good and I really liked the ending.

I could not manage to finish this book. It felt very repetitive and dragged out. Thank you for the opportunity to read it, but I just couldn't do it.

This was a great read and I really enjoyed the story. I did feel like the ending was a little flat compared to the drama build up in story though. Still would highly recommend it.

Picking up where THE LAST MRS. PARRISH left off, the THE NEXT MRS. PARRISH catches us up with the scheming Amber Patterson Parrish. Jackson Parrish, in jail for tax evasion is due to be released from jail, to Amber’s displeasure, who has worked her way to the top of high society in Bishops Harbor. But her money is running out and her problems are piling up. Daphne Parrish thinks she is safe from Jackson and that she has escaped her old life, but her daughter, homesick for her old life and missing her dad, runs away and Daphne realizes that this chapter of her life hasn’t been closed at all. Add to this mix a vengeful figure from Amber’s past and it’s a recipe for disaster, surprises, and plot twists and turns that you’ll never expect. I liked this book—it was fun and readable. Some characters were more well drawn than others but altogether entertaining.

Yooooo a new favorite thriller! Will for sure be recommending this one to friends. I did not guess even ONE of the plot twists. So unique!

I couldn't get through the first half of this book. It felt disjointed & ridiculous. Also - whose therapist recommends someone get in touch with their abusive ex husband & who actually takes that advice? I'm sure this will come into play later on in the book, but I just couldn't get there. DNF.

LOVED IT! I honestly could not put it down!

I was a big fan of The Last Mrs. Parrish so when I saw there was a new one coming out, I was very excited. I hoped Jackson, Amber and Daphne would be as devious as the first Mrs. Parrish. While this one was not quite as cunning, it definitely made me wonder how Daphne would get out of this mess yet again!

Overall loved the book, had a question or two about the diamonds. However, I loved the rest. Super entertaining and enjoyable to read.

Advance reader copy provided by NetGalley and Random House Publishing but all opinions are my own.

I'm a huge fan on Liv Constantine and loved The Last Mrs. Parrish. When I received the arc to this one I was extremely excited and couldn't wait to see what was next for Daphne and Amber. While this was still entertaining and had a good amount of twists it unfortunately does not live up to the first book but sequels rarely do. That being said I definitely enjoyed this book and the writing style and wanted to see what would happen to all the characters. I will for sure recommend this one and continue to read whatever Liv Constantine writes in the future. Rating this 3.5 rounded up to 4 stars. I want to thank NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

This book is the second in the Mrs. Parrish series. The plot jumps nearly right in where the last book left off, regarding the different characters and the plot lines that were tied up at the end of book one. What was hard for me about this book was that I didn't find any of the characters likable or that they had many redeeming qualities. Even Daisy Ann and Daphne who should be the likable victims weren't developed enough to make me want to align with them, besides deciding that they were right given their particular situations.

Overall, the story was slightly convoluted and there were a lot of plot points and storylines to keep track of. I just think that this series for me doesn't hit on all cylinders and if a third book comes out I think I would take a pass.

I was so excited to get an ARC of this book! Thanks to Netgalley and Random House/ Ballantine books for the ARC in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the authors had written a sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish. I had forgotten the author's name is a pen name for 2 sisters! This made me appreciate the writing even more for some reason. Since finishing the book, I have learned there is a novella The First Shot that is recommended to read before this one. With that being said, I did not and was fine - but I do want to read it now.

Being someone that reads a lot, I often forget the plots to many books. The Last Mrs. Parrish stuck with me, but I did appreciated the overview of what happened in the first several chapters of this book. There was just enough detail to remind me of the characters and the plot of the first book.

This book is another psychological thriller that had me gasping at times. At moments, my heart was racing. I felt like I was with the character and it was almost like I was watching a movie. Like the first book, I hated a couple of the characters and was frustrated with others. This did not stop me from wanting to read more. The last 15% of the book had me not wanting to put it down.

This book has my recommendation! It comes out in June, so will be a perfect poolside read

Wow I could not put this book down! The twists and turns throughout the novel had me guessing until the very end. I enjoy this authors use of multiple POV and how she labels each chapter. I was so happy to dive back into the world of Daphne and Amber again after enjoying the first book in this series and it didn't disappoint.

Such mixed feelings about this one. The Last Mrs. Parrish has held strong as one of my favorite books for years. I loved how unexpected the twists were. So when I saw a sequel I knew I needed it. I was granted access to it early as ARC. I enjoyed jumping right back in to the drama in the triangle that is Jackson, daphne, and amber.

I thought the writing was solid and Liv did a nice job of revisiting the events of the first book without it being too tedious or boring. With that being said, did I think a second book needed to be written? Unfortunately no. The first book portrayed Daphne as smart and cunning, so to see her wind up beneath Jackson’s thumb again I found myself super annoyed. A lot of the daphne Jackson storyline I just felt was so screamingly unfathomable.

Insert Daisy Ann-the new character to the game. I loved the development of her character and the chaos that ensues between her and amber. I feel like her character really saved this book in my eyes.

So overall, the writing is great. Does it compare to the first? No, but do they ever? Would I recommend it? Yes.

I was so excited to get an advanced copy of this through Net Galley!

I LOVED The Last Mrs. Parrish and was so excited to read this one. Definitely make sure you read The First Shot novella before you read this one.

This was a great continuation of the story! This picks up after Jackson gets out of jail, and Amber and Jackson are still horrible, of course. I absolutely LOVED Daphne’s storyline in this one, and the addition of the character from Amber’s past was great. It was a bit slow to start, but once it got going, I couldn’t put it down! You definitely don’t want to miss this.

An absolute cluster of a book… felt like we were trying to put 900 things in it instead of focusing on one plot at a time. I know it was to make a dramatic ending, but it felt sloppy and rushed. It had its suspenseful moments so that’s why I would say 2 stars, but the ending was as ridiculous as the majority of the novel.

The Next Mrs. Parrish
Written by: Liv Constantine
Publication date: June 18, 2024
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amber, Jackson, and Daphne are back in this unexpected sequel to the iconic novel the Last Mrs. Parrish. It’s the followup story I never knew I needed but it was better than I could have ever imagined. Jackson is still just as evil, Amber is as self-centered and manipulative as I remembered, Daphne will stop at nothing to gain her freedom. A new face in the heart of Texas will shake things up for this trio and one things for sure- justice will be served. I absolutely loved this novel. Thank you NetGalley, the authors, and Random House Publishing Group for this advanced readers copy in exchange for my honest review. #TheNextMrsParrish #NetGalley

This was such a great book I finished it in 2 days! Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. If you loved the last Mrs. Parrish you will love this. Amber is up to her old tricks but even worse. Jackson swears he’s a changed man, and Daphne has to deal with both of them in order to keep her and her children safe. Daisy Ann was a great new addition and I’d love to see her in a book of her own. So good!!

5 Stars!!
Loved this book!
Love this author!
Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this ARC.
Hard to put down the story is so good with many twists, turns and keeps you guessing.

I have been looking forward to this book all year. Amber is back and is as always someone you love to hate. Will amber finally get what she deserves or will she finally get what she always wanted? This book was a quick read and I couldn’t put it down. A must read if you enjoyed The Last Mrs Parrish and One Shot.

Unfortunately this fell flat for me and I wasn’t drawn into the storyline at all like the first book. The characters still felt surface level and their decision making so questionable - it felt very forced and far-fetched.
