The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine

kallmekirby's review against another edition

2.0

It it wasn’t for Daphne’s POV it would have been a 1 star from me. Daphne would have been a solid 3 star but Amber drove me INSANE and the overuse of the word “delicious” took off a solid star.

As I was reading it, I couldn't shake the feeling that the overall setup - the cunning outsider insinuating themselves into a life of privilege and luxury - was heavily reminiscent of another book I'd recently consumed. But upon further reflection, I realize Constantine's novel legitimately came first. And boy oh boy am I ever upset about the revelation! BookTok blew up telling all about this other book and yet The Last Mrs Parrish should be read first and discussed and praised way more than the other book! Off my soapbox now…

While the interloper-infiltrates-ritzy-lifestyle premise doesn't feel quite as freshly originated now, Constantine still puts her own stylish spin on it. The execution remains stellar - a total,soapy page-turner filled with complex, juicy characters and situations.  For anyone newly discovering this type of psychological suspense story, it's a deliciously twisty, unputdownable read.

really good plot. the book is a thriller but it isn’t sickening, I recommend it if you’re into thrillers but don’t want to read the typical gruesome themes of thrillers
