4.5 stars for sure!

This book is another winner! The twists and turns and the way it wraps you in - So good! I was annoyed I had to work because I wanted to keep reading about Amber and Daphne!!

The first one is a tad better, I think because of the impact it had on me, but this one is truly just as good and I can't wait to see what these fabulous sisters have in store for the future!

Honestly, I'm being generous with my 2-star rating. This a sequel that didn't need to be written, at all. I read the previous book, The Last Mrs. Parrish and didn't really enjoy it, so take my review with a grain of salt if you did enjoy it, you just might like this one too.
This book focuses on Daphne and Amber Parrish, but adds in a new point of view, and a new protagonist, Daisy Ann Briscoe. The story just barely held my interest and the only reason I finished it was because I felt obligated due to receiving the ARC. As I said, this is an unnecessary sequel. The authors could have left the characters behind with the first book and I would have been fine. Amber and Jackson are both still terrible people, and Daphne makes incredibly dumb choices, as she did before. The writing is formulaic, and the dialogue is stilted and feels very unnatural.
For me, I borderline hated this book, so read at your own risk, especially if you didn't really enjoy the first entry in the Mrs. Parrish books.
Thank you to Random House Ballantine Books and NetGalley for the electronic ARC of this novel for review.

If you read the first one, you will need to read this one to see how it continues - & how crazy the story continues. Love seeing some of the good characters back & having additional players in these games. So many times I gasped at how mad I was at the greed of some of these characters. The story just takes you right back into the first story & will get you all riled up once again.

The story starts where it left off. Amber is living the life of her dreams where as Daphne has started her new life. Little does Daphne know that she is going to get dragged back down by her ex Jackson once again. In this crazy sequel, we are introduced to new characters that help the story develop into a deceiving, rebellious, and get even kind of life. Will Daphne come out on top? Will Ambers closet of skeletons get revealed? You will have to pick up this book to find out!

The Next Mrs. Parrish reunites readers with Daphne and Amber Parrish as they navigate Jackson's release from prison. Amber has enjoyed her time being Queen Bee in Bishops Harbor, but with Jackson returning, things are about to change. Daphne has started a new life across the country with her daughters, but she finds herself spending the summer back in Bishops Harbor monitoring Jackson's time with their children. Jackson claims that he's reformed and that he wants to get their family back together. With the introduction of a new character, new information about Amber's past, and twists and turns, this sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish was a delight. The Constantine Sisters did a superb job of making this book just as entertaining and surprising as their first. Fans will not be disappointed! Special thanks to NetGalley and Bantam Publishing for the chance to be an advanced reader on this rollercoaster of a book.

Fun sequel to the first novel, I was surprised to hear there was a follow-up but I enjoyed it overall! I enjoyed the setting as much as I did the first one.

Jackson Parrish is about to be released from prison. His oldest daughter, Tallulah, has really been missing him, which prompted Daphne (the first Mrs. Parrish) to visit Bishops Harbor. Jackson has a plan to win Daphne back by proving he is a changed man.

Amber wants nothing more than to leave and be rich. She forms a plan to help Jackson win his family back so that she can leave. We also have a new character in the mix - Daisy Ann, daughter of Amber’s first husband.

So many fun twists and turns along the way that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I loved this book just as much as the first one! I also highly recommend reading The First Shot novella prior to reading this book, which offers some really good background on Amber. The book wraps up very well, I highly recommend picking up a copy. Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for an ARC!

I just finished this and I loved it so much! Thank you NETgalley for my arc of this book.

I read the last Mrs Parrish years ago when it came out, and I really enjoyed it. I understand people had issues with it, but to me it was a great thriller with characters to hate and cheer for.

This book is much better than the first. Daphne is still a character that you root for, as is daisy ann, while Jackson and Amber are truly awful. I loved the characters in this book, how they interacted with each other, and how well this story played out. I will definitely recommend this book as a great summer read.

A sequel done right! In The Last Mrs. Parrish, 2 out of 3 of the main characters were pretty unlikable. I liked the book just fine, but I felt like the dialogue and plot kind of dragged. I was surprised to see a sequel, but even more surprised that I really enjoyed it a lot more than the first.

In The Next Mrs. Parrish we are introduced to a new character, Daisy Ann. I immediately was rooting for her. The pace of this book felt right. I did not feel like there was a bunch of information that wasn’t important and was just there to fill the page. Liv Constantine did a good job of summarizing what happened previously, and incorporating it into this new book without it being repetitive and boring.

The Next Mrs. Parrish picks up where The Last Mrs. Parrish stopped. Jackson is still in prison, and Amber is still scheming. Daphne is in California living her new life with the girls. Without giving anything away, Daisy Ann is introduced as a character with a vendetta against Amber. Jackson gets out of prison, Daphne brings the girls back home to visit their father, and all of the scheming between the characters is front and center.

This book was well written, and I enjoyed the ending. I wasn’t left with any unanswered questions. It was a satisfying closure. After finishing this book, I discovered there is a prequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish, The First Shot. I will definitely be reading it. Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I think I actually enjoy this novel more than The Last Mrs. Parrish! I was instantly drawn in-- I loved Daisy Ann's character. I did not see some of the twists that were introduced in the novel; however, I love how everything came together at the end. The novel's writing was engaging, the characters were interesting, and there were unpredictable parts! Overall, great book!!

A sequel to one of my favorite books and it did NOT disappoint!

All of the characters are back…and then some. The story follows Daphne, Amber, and Daisy Ann. If you’ve read the first book then you know Daphne and Amber’s relationship. But it took a while to figure out Daisy Ann’s which made the story that much more intriguing. How are all these women connected? And what is Jackson’s true motive?

There is a ton happening in this book. Daphne is trying to raise her two daughters and prepare for Jackson’s release from prison. She is met with a bunch of teenage angst from her oldest Tallulah, who is wanting to hang out with her dad, Jackson. Amber is set on divorcing Jackson and making it on her own… but first needs to steal from him in order to do so. And Daisy Ann wants revenge for what happened to her father.

Overall, it was as great as a sequel could be but I’ve been a Daphne fan and supporter since day 1 so I wished it followed her story a little more. With everything that happened in this book, it almost felt like too much at times but the way it all came together at the end was very well done. I’m a huge fan of Liv Constantine’s writing style. This was an easy story to dive into and picked up very well from the first book.

A lot of reviews are saying to read “The First Shot” before diving into the sequel as that goes more into Amber’s history and I’m sure mentions Daisy Ann. I was a little confused on the inclusion of Daisy Ann and her back story so I’ll definitely have to go back and read it to see if that adds to the overall story.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and Liv Constantine for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!

What a ride! This book is the follow-up to The Last Mrs. Parrish and gives readers the next chapter in the Daphne, Jackson and Amber saga. Lots of twists packed into this book and it keeps you engaged until the very last paragraph. I liked this book even more than the first one.

I received an ARC of this book from Random House via NetGalley in exchange for my honest feedback. I re-read the first in this series before beginning this one, since I had read the first one quite a while ago. I definitely recommend doing this so the characters are fresh in your mind. Also, it was interesting to re-read the first one after knowing the twist to come. Unfortunately, I did not realize there was a novella in this series also or I would have read that before this one, too. I noticed another reviewer mentioned this book is a standalone, but I disagree with that. Read the others!

Amber & Jackson are two of the most detestable characters in perhaps all of my reading history. When it seems things are going their way, you basically want to throw the book across the room. Also, since I had not read the novella, I was confused at first who Daisy Ann is and what she is doing in the book. But her presence completely makes sense.

I think my one slight complain about this book is that it almost veers into disbelief - how can two people be SO bad? And how can they have so many other people (professionals, no less) fooled? However, I still give this book a 5-star rating as it's just so enjoyable. I am a big fan of the Constantine sisters' writing.

I think this was a great follow up to The Last Mrs. Parrish. Was it unbelievable? Yes, but it was also very entertaining, I loved the twists and turns but the end came out of no where and I wish there was a little more backstory on that…a couple chapters from Jackson’s POV might have helped. Overall a fun, easy read. Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read the advanced copy! 4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent twist that keep you gasping. The cliffhanger at the end has me excited for the next book as well.

Having recently read The Last Mrs. Parrish, I was thrilled to read The Next Mrs. Parrish. The Next Mrs. Parrish takes a different turn, in a sort of "don't go into the haunted house" kind of way. I finished this book really quickly because I couldn't put it down. Everything is well researched, from the legal and financial situations to the high end purchases that these characters make. I sincerely hope there is a Mrs. Parish #3!

Thank you to #netgalley and @randomhousepublishinggroup for the ARC.

Wow. What a wild ride! This is definitely my favorite of the Mrs. Parrish series. The twists and turns! 🤯 This book is full of nefarious characters, all trying to get back at each other and double-cross the other... and then some innocent people just getting caught in the middle, getting hurt by the others' selfishness and greed... or are they innocent? 🤔 It's hard to tell who can be trusted!

I highly recommend this book! Such an enthralling and twisty story!

Thank you to Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine for providing a complimentary Advanced Reader Copy through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Thank you to netfalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I was super excited to read this sequel, after recently reading the original. I absolutely loved the original, but this one fell a little flat for me. It was almost TOO much cat and mouse to keep track of and I didn’t love how Daphne went back to Jackson at all.

I did like how both Jackson and Amber finally got what they deserved and that Daphne was finally free in the end, but overall the plot was a bit all over the place for me on this one.

So excited to read this follow up! This book ties together the ex wife, new wife and another woman and all the twists and turns. The backstabing and never know whose side to take. Great read! Thanks for the ARC!
