doc å The Last Mrs Parrish ☆ Liv Constantine
Amber Patterson is fed up She’s tired of being a nobody a plain invisible woman who blends into the background She deserves a life of money and power like the one blond haired blue eyed goddess Daphne Parrish takes for grantedTo everyone in the exclusive town of Bishops Harbor Connecticut Daphne a socialite and philanthropist and her real estate mogul husband Jacks This is the first book in a long time that I've actually HATED There are a number of reasons why and some are hard to talk about without giving important things away I'll start with what I can safely say All spoilers have been hiddenFirstly this book is so slow and boring Especially in the first half where we stay inside the mind of the despicable con artist Amber Patterson as she plants herself into the life of Daphne Parrish and tries to steal her rich husband There are a good two hundred pages of lunch dates designer dresses charity events and Amber hating every single person around herLook I love complex selfish unlikable characters I don't believe in general that anyone is merely good or bad Most people are screwed up flawed and jealous at times It's a shitty world out there and I truly believe most personalities are made through socialization and nurture not born BUT Amber is insufferable She is horrible to literally everyone and for no reason She has to make snide comments mentally about the weight of her coworker and think to herself how much easier it was for Daphne's sister who grew up with and eventually died from cystic fibrosisI only continued reading the slow boring narrative because I knew something had to be coming I also have a theory as to why the authors made her so one dimensional and horrible but that will have to come later under the spoiler tagAnd sure enough we reach the halfway point and the book shifts The blurb already tells us to expect shocking turns and dark secrets though I don't personally think it was that shocking For one thing the book's tagline Some women get everything Some women get everything they deserve tells us that someone is going to get what they deserve so come on is it really that hard to imagine where it's going? Maybe it also doesn't help that I recently read view spoiler The Wife Between Us hide spoiler
Liv Constantine ☆ The Last Mrs Parrish text
The Last Mrs ParrishOn are a couple straight out of a fairy taleAmber’s envy could eat her alive if she didn't have a plan Amber uses Daphne’s compassion and caring to insinuate herself into the family’s life the first step in a meticulous scheme to undermine her Before long Amber is Daphne’s closest confidante traveling to Europe with the Parrishes and their lovely young daughte 45 superb stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟5 WOW What a fun ride that was The only reason this book is not getting the full five stars is it was a bit slow to start but once it hit about 40% WOWZA things went sideways and I loved itI just read and reviewed The Wife Between Us and really enjoyed it however it is very similar to this book so I can’t help but compare and I’d have to say I enjoyed this book and the reason for this is I adored and hated these characters so muchAmber was the perfect girl you had to hate although I have to admit up until that first Twist I was rooting for her a tiny bit don’t judge😉 then we have Daphne I can’t even tell you how I feel about Daphne because that would ruin things but such a well developed character my feelings for her were all over the place throughout this book I so much want to say something right now but I can’t🤫🤭Ugh I am so jealous of you who have not already read this you have such a wonderful treat ahead of you so just pick this book up sit back relax and enjoy the crazy ride And keep in mind good things come to those who wait Think of the beginning of this book as that huge hill you go up on a roller coaster before things start going sideways and crazy it isn’t necessarily the best part of the ride but it’s necessary to get you to that place where things go wildPSAnd for those of you who have read this already that ending Perfection🐢
