I hate to give up on a book but sadly I had to with this one. It started off well, but seemed to lose its way and I struggled to get through it. Not for me.

A book of deception and lies to reach a satisfying conclusion. Who will get their comeuppance.? For me the book got off to a slow start building up the initial relation between 5he two main female characters , Daphne and Amber, so started a bit like a chic-lit . It really caught m6 attention from part 2 where Daphne tells her story and the third part blends the two story points. Who will outmanoeuvred who? Who will have the last say and who will have the tables completely turned on them? Two devious women with one control freak man and the story of their relationships.

Initially I was not a fan of this book. I liked the concept, but didn't know how well the execution was going as it was a bit rocky in the beginning. I resented reading from Amber's perspective because really, what a bitch and what a horrible piece of work. There were absolutely no redeeming qualities to her, and the more you read about her, the more you realise that she is one hell of a selfish twit and sociopathic and all. Yes, I am aware that is exactly how she is intended to come across.

I won't say that the book is shocking - Daphne is a character I liked from the beginning, one I did not believe to be even remotely as stupid as Amber thought her to be. Jackson set my teeth on edge, and I felt so justified in my belief that he was an abusive douche nugget and that he and Amber totally deserved each other. I felt vindicated man, really. They are truly icky characters.

The book flows quite well, laying this sordid tale bare, and you cannot help but be drawn in. As I said, it might come across as a bit predictable, but in no which way does that mean it is not engaging. It is compelling, but it could certainly have toned down on the money shaming that went on the whole time in the beginning, it got old fast. To read about the reality of Jackson and Daphne's marriage was quite rough because really, that was some mad stuff going on there, and I was fascinated to see how Constantine would carry through with it. Every time you think that something might have been forgotten/overlooked in the narrative, Constantine delivers the goods.

All in all, The Last Mrs Parrish is well worth the read. It is engaging and interesting and has some things that will make you think (spoiled children and one's notion of abuse amongst other things). The Last Mrs Parrish is a solid psychological/drama read (though not a shocking! thriller! like it is marketed), and I am so glad I checked it out, and can certainly recommend it!

I still have chills running down my spine. The twist in this book is brilliant. I am not going to give away anything. The story is really cleverly put together. I was totally blindsided by the twist. This is a well thought out and well put together book. I think that Amber got exactly what she deserved.

Loved it to start off with, but I couldn’t get into it. Just not for me.

A tale of the unraveling of Daphne Parrish's perfect marriage. On the outside Daphne has the perfect husband and marriage, a lifestyle most could only dream of. Of course, perhaps all is not as it seems. Enter Amber, a woman struggling to make ends meet, but with big plans and ambitions. She is determined to usurp Daphne, and have that lifestyle herself. This is a tale of ' be careful what you wish for'. I enjoyed the journey.

This book reminded be on Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty, for the marriage between Daphne and Jackson.
We start with Amber, learning that she wants more, and will do anything to get it. Setting her sights on Jackson because hes rich and good looking. Befriending his wife is the way in, stopping at nothing to get what she wants.
The story switches from Amber's narrative to Daphne's in part 2 of the book and we travel back in history to the early days of their marriage - and we find out what being Mrs Parrish is really like.
The books is a good easy read. . .

Amber Patterson is that person you never want to meet in person let, alone in a dark alley. She is bitter, jealous, and out to take what she can. Amber craves the lifestyle of Daphne Parrish.
Daphne is rich she has a handsome husband who dotes on her and the standard two children.
Amber begins to plot a means of having having Daphne’s life and what follows is a bit of a roller coaster ride. The characters here are annoying which i think is exactly what the are meant to be. The husband is a thoroughly creepy character and the author really has him spot on.
The story is told from the perspectives of the two female characters and this works well because they are telling the same events subjectively. It is when Daphne starts to trawl back into the past that the book becomes interesting. I don’t want to give the story line away, so I will say no more other than....... at times you really should be careful what you wish for.

Good god what a book and a half this is.

So basically amber wants the life of daphne, she has a beautiful home, husband, money and the life amber thinks she deserves. So amber goes out to get it....

The book is in 3 parts Amber, Daphne and then a 3rd part which in my opinion is the best part...!

I hated Amber and thought Daphne needed a ticket up her backside half the time however it all comes out in the wash so they say, and it did.

This book had me gripped and I seriously couldn’t put it down, I had to find out what happened next and begrudged feeding my kids as it took me away from my kindle! It’s seeiously full of twists and turns at one point I’m like omg, no, hang on a minute and had to go back and actually re-read it again!

It’s an absolute corker and I honestly can’t wait to read more from the author, I’d give it 10 stars if I could,

One of my favourite books of the year, a fantastic psychological thriller that i just couldn't put down. Brilliant strong characters, amazing plot twists and a brilliant ending. hoping for more form these two sisters,, they make a fantastic writing team!

This was a great read. I found it hard to put this book down. Daphne (Mrs Parrish) has the sort of life women wish for, married to a very charasmatic, charming, handsome, rich man. Amber on the other hand has nothing. The two quickly become friends and as the story progresses you realise how manuipulative Amber is. I do not do spoilers but will say that this book is a must. It drew me in so deep I almost felt part of it.
I would hightly recommend this book, it is a fantastically written, brilliant piece of ficton.

Totally engrossing I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end in fact I didn’t want it to end!

I would highly recommend this psychological thriller which is full of suspense and a twist. It is very cleverly written. A must read if you like revenge. Loved it from start to finish.

Great book, great twist and always good to see that people get what's coming to them.

Be careful what you wish for!! This is one of those books. that once you start, it is very very difficult to put down.
Not so much a psychological thriller, but certainly a fascinating psychological profile of a sociopath. This was a gripping tale with many twists and turns and a totally unexpected ending..

I requested this title from Netgalley based on the description and in return for an honest review. It’s American and when I realised that the author, Liv Constantine was in fact two sisters, I was tempted not to begin reading. Multiple authors frequently mean a piece constructed between them purely for the market. I’m also getting tired of “psychological thrillers”. I should have followed my first instinct. The book tended to plod along on leaden feet. Several times I decided to give up, but having asked for it I preserved. Most of the story is told through Amber who is working the con and latterly by Deborah, the wronged wife. It takes place in the world of the super rich outside New York City. The authors have assumed that this is a world that their readers will enjoy reading about. I don’t feel that human emotions are adequately conveyed and descriptions of scenery and events are fairly basic, This tale lacks depth. Nothing fires the imagination. There are no likable characters in this book, all being selfish and manipulating. It’s a tale of human greed which I failed to enjoy.

This is an absolutely wickedly delicious book. Full five stars rating for this one. The story is addictive from the start. The writing flows naturally and effortlessly. Amber, the home wrecker, is out to steal Mr. Parrish, Daphne's husband. The first major part is Amber's point of view, the second is Daphne's point of view. It has a very satisfying ending.

A complicated,twisted thriller. Strong female character who overcomes much to win in the end.

I was looking forward to this book, as I thought it might appeal to fans of relationship thrillers like those by Gillian Flynn and Paula Hawkins. Sadly, I was disappointed - although there was a good twist, I found the book to be formulaic and derivative of other books of this genre.

I can't believe this is a debut novel - it is fantastic! The story starts by immediately launching into the objective of Amber - a manipulative, deceitful young woman who wants the life of the lovely, lucky Daphne with her perfect marriage and family. So cleverly written, easy to read and fast paced. At one point you think you know where this is going and how can there still be a good portion of book left - well woah hold on as this is where it spins to a glorious, shocking new direction. A most glorious, satisfying ending.
