This was such a good book! It had been several years since I had read "The Last Mrs. Parrish", and I was afraid that I wouldn't remember the storyline, or even the characters! Not to fear! Everything came back to me, and in a rush!! There were many red herrings and twists everywhere. There were so many deliciously nasty characters. It was one of the most fun books I have read in a long time!

Thanks to NetGalley, the publishers, and the author for an ARC of this book. This is my honest and unsolicited review.

Many readers, including me, believe that a sequel or follow up novel is never as good as the original. I started this book not expecting it to out do the first, but man was I wrong!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I read the The Last Mrs. Parrish for the first time after I was approved for this ARC, since it had been on my TBR forever and I was nervous that it was going to be overhyped. Turns out I did end up enjoying it; however, it was fairly predictable and nothing truly groundbreaking, as the major plot twist was a fairly common one at that time. I did love the awful characters in Amber and Jackson, and the book was well-written which drew me in. I do feel like the authors saw reviews of the first book, looked at each other and said, "Hold my wine," and then this book was conceived. The Next Mrs. Parrish picks up shortly after the first book ended. Jackson is getting out of prison, Daphne is trying to move on and live her best life, and Amber is onto her next scheme.

I felt it was easier to get into this story since we already knew about the three main characters and their general backstories. Daisy Ann was new, and I came in with several preconceived notions of what I thought would happen with her story arc...and I'm glad to say I was extremely wrong on all accounts. Amber was absolutely diabolical, and her desperation for wealth and acceptance among the elite was elevated to another level. Jackson was already an absolute pile of steaming trash as a human being, but the level of depravity he sunk to this time unlocked new fears for me. Daphne was smarter and stronger, but I found myself highly anxious reading her chapters while she was navigating her situation.

I was never bored, as the shifting views amongst the characters kept the story moving and the plot fresh. I absolutely LIVED FOR the scheming, cat-and-mouse games amongst all four of the characters. I had no idea how the schemes would play out or how the heck it would end. I gasped aloud multiple times, since I was actually shook to my core. I loved the ending as well, and felt that it was even more satisfying than what I anticipated.

I absolutely enjoyed going on this journey, and this book definitely sold me on reading more of Liv Constantine's books in the future. Fantastic job!

Thank you Random House Publishing Group and NetGalley for my advanced copy. I was so excited to read this and it DID NOT disappoint!! Here is my review that will also be posted on Goodreads.

This was a page turner that had me late for work, my house unclean, laundry undone and my belly full of snacks! I blame my boss for the being late for work part because she was the one who first introduced me to Daphne, Amber and Jackson when she gave me The Last Mrs. Parrish to read, which I loved. I did not care for Amber or for Jackson and Daphne sure threw me a surprise curve ball. Which, let's face it, there's no better story told than one that has characters you dislike, characters that you do like and a surprise twist! When I found out their story continues, I knew I had to read it! Not only did their story continue with a flawless pick up from the last one, but it grew to an even better one with the introduction of a new, feisty character, Daisy Ann. Chapters are told by each of the characters so you really get a good feel of each one and what they're made of and just how suspicious, evil, conniving, manipulating and well you get the idea here. While reading this my jaw dropped, I cursed out loud, bit my fingernails and lost sleep because I didn't want to put it down. With chapters being told by a different character you just have to keep going to see who is telling the next one and what it is they have to say.

This can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend that you read both the prequel - The First Shot and The Last Mrs. Parrish as both will make this one all the more better for you. Do yourself a favor and read this book, or you can do yourself a big favor and read all three! I of course will be returning the favor to my boss by purchasing her a copy.

Fantastic addition to the amazing line of Mrs. Parrish's! As usual, I love how Liv Constantine wove intricate details seamlessly and not too much where you couldn't follow. Absolutely devoured this new book from them.

3.5 stars.

The story kept me guessing until the end. There were parts in the middle that did drag a bit, but overall it was a good read.

I was elated when I received an ARC of The Next Mrs. Parrish because Liv Constantine are absolutely one of my favorite author duos and this is definitely now my favorite of their novels. So a big thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine for my ARC in exchange for my honest review!

A suspenseful, fast-paced domestic thriller about revenge and greed, with short chapters and several shocking twists you won’t see coming!

MY SYNOPSIS: Amber Patterson Parrish is still married to Jackson Parrish and has not changed one bit. Jackson is about to be released from prison and claims he is a changed man. Daphne and her girls, Tallulah and Bella, are now living in California, away from the wickedness and bad memories of Bishops Harbor. Now Amber and Jackson have devised a convoluted plan to get Daphne and the girls back to Connecticut, and Tallulah is beginning to resent Daphne for taking her away from Jackson. Now all have to face their past secrets and mistakes, leading to more challenges and unexpected alliances.

MY REVIEW: Alternating between a triple pov, the reader is reintroduced to Daphne and Amber, and the story picks up right where the last one left off; then the new comer (kind of, but not really) Daisy Ann. And let me just say, all of these characters have such distinct personalities, backgrounds, and suspenseful stories to tell, there was not one pov I dreaded reading. Liv Constantine did an outrageously amazing job detailing every portion of these ladies’ lives that I could hear them speaking to me as I read.

I have read sequels before, and it really loses me when there is too much from the prior book that I get bored… not the case here. I loved how there was just enough information imbedded from The Last Mrs. Parrish that I didn’t feel like I was re-reading the book. The Next Mrs. Parrish can easily be a standalone, but I still recommend reading the first one along with the prequel, The First Shot, to better understand Daisy Ann.

I did not ~love~ the format of The Last Mrs. Parrish because I felt like I was being re-told the story again (even though it was a different pov), but I loved the alternating pov within the same timeline for this one… OH and a shocking fourth pov to close out the book to make you spiral even more.

Having read both The Last Mrs. Parrish and the prequel, The First Shot, I definitely questioned whether or not a sequel was necessary, considering thrillers typically never have a follow-up, but yes, we absolutely did need it, and it is a 5/5 star read!!!

Daphne and Amber are back and Jackson is just finishing up his jail sentence from the last book. Daphne is forced back into Jackson’s life because she’s looking out for the mental health of her daughter who doesn’t understand why her father is no longer in her life. I forgot what a terrible person both Amber and Jackson were but this book brings you right back. We also meet a new character and get to see her connection to everyone. This book was fun to read, had some twists and turns, and kept my interest. I definitely recommend.

OMG what a ride that book just took me on. I cannot tell you how many times I wanted to throw my e-reader at the wall. I thought the first book was a psychological suspense, but this book blew that went out of the water.

We were back in Bishop Harbor with our favorite parish family . Jackson is scheming. Amber is conniving and Daphne is trying to keep the girls safe. We got to know Daisy a little better (we met her in the prequel) and oh my was her storyline good.

The ending gave us some interesting twists on justice, but justice nonetheless and left the door open for a potential 3rd book, which I would read in a heartbeat.

Amber Parrish is back and her husband Jackson has been released from prison. He is ready to return to his former life, but Amber wants to move on.

The Next Mrs. Parrish picks up from the first novel (The Last Mrs. Parrish), but it’s helpful to have read the prequel The Last Shot to have a better understanding of characters and their connections to one another.

Jackson’s ex wife Daphne is now living in California with their two daughters. She has been going to therapy to work through the trauma from her marriage to Jackson. The teenage daughters don’t know what Daphne endured and only know that they miss their father. Amber communicated with the girls while Jackson was in prison and told them lies about Daphne.

Daphne reluctantly agrees to take the girls back to Bishops Harbor where Jackson wants to win Daphne back. He says he’s a changed man because of his time served, but he is soon up to his old ways. Amber has plans to get back at Jackson.

The story also brings in Daisy Ann, the daughter of Amber’s previous husband. Daisy Ann is on a mission to get justice for her late father. The Next Mrs. Parrish weaves Daphne, Amber, and Daisy Ann’s stories together through multiple point of view narration.

I enjoyed getting back to the story of Daphne, Jackson, and Amber. Because of the multiple perspectives, the book read fast! I kept reading to get back to each character’s story because the author ended many chapters with suspense. After the story is resolved (with several twists along the way), each character has a chapter to provide a sense of closure. I appreciated knowing this, but it felt a little drawn out. I enjoyed the novel and look forward to reading more by Liv Constantine.

Thank you to NetGalley, Random House Publishing Group, and Liv Constantine for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

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
