Have you ever had a friend recommend a book to you? They rant and rave, hyping it up until you can’t stand it anymore and ask for their copy. Or, if you’re like me, you got out and buy it yourself.
Oh, my dear friend J… The Last Mrs. Parrish, quite unfortunately, did not live up to the hype.
To be honest, I almost gave this book a 2.5/5 stars, but changed my mind at the last second because I couldn’t ignore the plots major potential—even if it let me down in the end. I don’t like giving books bad reviews. Maybe it’s because I’m an author myself, and know just how damaging a bad review can be. Or maybe it’s because I’m a bit of a softy.
Either way, when I do give a bad review, it must go hand-in-hand with some good critiques. After all, just because something isn’t my cup of tea, doesn’t mean it won’t be yours or someone else’s (I’m talking about you, J).

Amber Patterson is fed up. She’s tired of being a nobody: a plain, invisible woman who blends into the background. She deserves more—a life of money and power like the one blond-haired, blue-eyed goddess Daphne Parrish takes for granted.
To everyone in the exclusive town of Bishops Harbor, Connecticut, Daphne—a socialite and philanthropist—and her real-estate mogul husband, Jackson, are a couple straight out of a fairy tale.
Amber’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 daughters, and growing closer to Jackson. But a skeleton from her past may undermine everything that Amber has worked towards, and if it is discovered, her well-laid plan may fall to pieces.
With shocking turns and dark secrets that will keep you guessing until the very end, The Last Mrs. Parrish is a fresh, juicy, and utterly addictive thriller from a diabolically imaginative talent.
Not convinced, or don’t want to spend the money? That’s okay! Remember, for any book you’re on the fence about, check to see if your local library has it and save some of your hard earned cash!
