Book Review: Mrs. Parrish#2 The Next Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine

 

ABOUT

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.

Amber Patterson Parrish has come a long way from being an invisible wallflower. Her hard work and immaculate planning have paid off now that she’s a prominent socialite, but that doesn’t mean there haven’t been bumps along the way. Less than a year since her husband Jackson’s tax-evasion scandal, Amber is still at the top of the Bishops Harbor community pecking order, free to do as she wishes while Jackson sits in prison. But that freedom is quickly coming to an end. With Jackson getting released from prison, Amber’s time—and money—is vanishing.

Meanwhile, Daphne Parrish left Bishops Harbor after her divorce from Jackson Parrish, swearing she would never go back. But when one of her daughters runs away from home, desperate to see her father, Daphne agrees to return for the summer to allow him supervised visits. Once out of prison, Jackson swears he’s a changed man, but Daphne knows all too well that he can’t be trusted.

When a ghost from Amber’s past emerges looking for revenge, the three of them find unlikely allies in one another, but who is playing who? When all is said and done, they’ll have to fight tooth and nail for everything they have left in this zero-sum game.

With shocking turns and entertaining characters, The Next Mrs. Parrish will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about duplicity and betrayal.

My Thoughts

Amber, Daphne and Jackson are back again in this highly anticipated sequel. If you thought the story was over, think again.

Jackson is about to be released from prison. Amber Parrish is not looking forward to this reunion in fact, she has a whole new plan in order to escape once and for all. Meanwhile sociopath Jackson has a plan to reunite with his ex wife Daphne who, he realised was the best person for him. While Daphne had no intention of ever laying eyes on her ex love for her daughters have led her back to Jackson.

In this sequel we meet some new characters especially Daisy Ann through whom we get to understand Amber a lot more and that she would stop at nothing to be rich. I loved this most about the book because we learn how Amber's past caught up with her.

While I enjoyed the first book more, I liked this one as well because of the closure I got from it.
