The Last Mrs. Parrish

Read it in a day and enjoyed it.

I couldn’t put it down.

Loved the first 3/4 the last part was slightly predictable

Had me hooked from the first chapter!

Great story line, loved the twist. Page turner the whole way

This book will certainly hold your interest, but is disturbing and unfortunately realistic. Two of the characters are abhorrent creatures to the point I almost stopped reading the book. Liv Constantine did a wonderful job of painting the lives of these odious creatures and then makes you compassionate towards Daphne. I would probably given this five stars, but it will take me some to recover.

So listen, the book was everything I was looking for, I’m not going to give out a single ounce of detail so that you can be the judge, but I will say this, the two leading female characters had the same internal voice, that was basically the only thing about the book that I didn’t like. Amber’s character is well rounded and formed since her part of the story is the first to begin, once you get to Daphne’s side of the story you can hear the author instead of truly getting to know who Daphne is. Once I read Daphne’s side of the story I realized that the Author can’t create a new persona that truly distinguishes the two strong leading female characters. Daphne’s character naturally opposes Ambers since she is the complete opposite in regards to how Daphne thinks compared to Amber, the problem is that Daphne’s internal dialogue was the same as Amber’s internal dialogue the only difference is that Daphne’s emotions were the exact opposite of Amber’s, so it made Daphne so predictable and boring. Their characters were similar in their way of going about things and at some point of the book the credibly was lost and its substance was also lost. It seemed to me that the author has a hard time being able to create personalities with different quirks and mannerisms and internal dialogue I feel like she needed to use different syntax or even diction to truly set them apart, but I felt like I was hearing Liv’s voice when I read Daphne’s internal dialogue and it sullied the book because I didn’t buy into Daphne’s persona. The story in itself was fantastic, but Daphne was truly two dimensional while Amber’s character was well rounded. Even Jackson’s Character was better developed. In regards to the story, I was gripped emotionally, and throughly entertained, I read the book in three days and I was thrown for a loop up until Daphne’s side of the story, after that I knew exactly where the story was headed. The ENDING was so so so anti climatic, nothing was clever about it, I thought of a million different endings that truly could have given the readers the satisfaction we were looking for. Amber and Jackson kinda “got away” with it, because the author gave such a “realistic” ending to an intense fiction story. Anyway, I hope I didn’t give anything away, and if you want to be entertained and like girly things like Gossip Girl etc your going to really enjoy this.

Intriguing tale. A study in facade.

Very well written and hard to put down. However, sad and hard to read at times due to the subject of domestic violence.

Very much enjoyed
