I finally finished a book! This month has been a very slow reading month thanks to a funky reading slump but I finished The Last Mrs. Parrish the other night and let me tell you it shook me to the core. This book kept me on the edge of my seat and it made me angry all at the same time. But trust me that‘s the point. These characters are some of the most dislikable characters that I‘ve come across and somehow that made me like the story even more.

“Amber needed order-disciplined, structured order. And now, finally, she was the master of her world. And of her world. And of her fate.”
Amber is the stalker side of secret admiration in a novel of crafty twists and turns…😱
What a great reading month! I enjoyed all except, The Last Housewife, which really wasn't for me.
The Last Girls Standing & The Last Mrs. Parrish were my faves. Also, just now realizing that half the books I read this month were titled "The Last ____" ?
Amber Patterson was tired of being invisible.

Hoping to finish this one over the weekend. What a wild ride! I love the first line, but then there's a huge shift halfway through that hooked me all over again!
Ok, thanks to my cousin for giving me this book. I‘ve met my new favorite author! The cunning that is this book. The strong characters, the plot twists… I‘m telling you, you should be reading this. I know I‘m gonna get all of Liv Constantine‘s books from now on!
This one‘s been on my TBR for ages! But when a friend couldn‘t stop talking about it, I knew I had to listen to it sooner rather than wait any longer! I really enjoyed listening to this one! Constantine perfectly builds Amber into a character where you can‘t wait to see her get exactly what she‘s wished for! And while Daphne‘s role was easy to see coming, it didn‘t detract from the fun of listening! Great audio performances, too! A fun & fast one!
This was a fun, quick read. Very, very predictable—you can see what‘s going on immediately—but very satisfying.

It was interesting and twisted 😳 enough to keep me turning pages, but….. not my favorite. Just seems like a trope that‘s been written over and over again and wasn‘t super original. Trigger warnings for all kinds of things, so reader beware 🫣
Predictable with similar story line to The House Maid. Overall, I enjoyed it. I would read something else from the duo that is Liv Constantine.

This book had so few redeeming factors. Part 1 was miserable, Part 2 was so over the top, Part 3 was entirely expected. Lacks nuance & nothing new was achieved here.
I‘m so happy because I finally got to the perspective switch, and I don‘t know if that‘s a spoiler but if I hadn‘t known from other reviews, I would have DNFd this 150 pages ago because Amber is f!$king miserable. Anyway. Hoping for the payoff in the next half 😂

Revenge was never served so deliciously cold. I loved this book. Absolutely to recommend.
This was fine. It took a looong time to get going and then was a little predictable but an easy read.
This one is a solid 7/10. Not what you‘d expect and very satisfying. Quality characters and excellent plot. Good suspense if you‘re into the lives of the rich and famous
I‘ve had this on my shelf for years so I‘m glad I read it! It was solid, with some good reversals and surprises. Some of the content was disturbing to read and none of the characters were that sympathetic, which for me meant I didn‘t love it as much as some other thrillers. But still an engaging read!
Did y‘all know there is going to be a sequel?!?! I‘m excited!!
Just started this one ! What do people think ?! I‘ve heard great things about it ! Let‘s see how long it takes me
As we start the second half of the year, I thought I would look at my #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin progress for the first half.
I have February‘s #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin books and June‘s #DoubleSpin book to read. I will carry them over to future #BookSpinBingo lists.
Where do I even start? This had been on my TBR since it was released in 2017. I considered a DNF many times during the first 50% of this book because nothing was actually happening. When it changed to Daphne's perspective I ate it up.
Many times, I had to set the book down because of how disgusting it was. There are some characters that my heart cannot stand because I hate them so much. Adding Jackson Parrish to the list.
3 stars, maybe.

This one started off slow and I wasn‘t sure about it but once it got going I couldn‘t stop listening. A dark psychological thriller about a woman who wants another woman‘s life. Good twists and plot which kept me entertained for hours
This was a miss from me but I recognize that my own reaction played a big part. The first half describes infidelity in a supposedly ‘perfect‘ marriage which seemed unbelievable and I was ready to DNF. However, there was a twist in the middle which I didn‘t see coming (impressive) and that kept me reading to the end. The plot was actually quite clever but not completely believable. Just not for me.⭐️⭐️ #bookspin
Busy busy listening to audiobooks this month. 🎧 #audiobooks #listening_litten

The Last Mrs Parrish is a juicy, and addictive psychological thriller. Amber Patterson becomes friends with Daphne Parrish. Amber is envious of Daphne's life of money and power. Her husband, Jackson, is a real-estate mogul and everyone in the town of Bishops Harbor, Connecticut, thinks their life is straight out of a fairy tale. But all is not as it seems as Jackson is an abuser and a manipulator.
I loved the ending so much!! If you like psychological dramas, this is a great choice.
Jackson infuriates me!!! I hope karma catches up with him!! I‘ve been in a similar situation, but not to this extent 🤬🤬🤬 thank goodness I‘m free of that!!
Anyone read this one? I‘m just starting it… 💛💙
There was so much hype around this book and I was so excited to read it! Started off verrryyyy slow, which was fine and I powered through it. However, the ending was somewhat abrupt and left me thinking "so... that's it?"
Book not in system
Listening to an Audible Original
It‘s the Prequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish
Amber‘s origin story
A fun little listen
This one started kind of slow, but then it picked up and I flew through the rest of it. I knew what was going to happen, but still enjoyed it!😄 #thrillerbook
This was one of those books where you start to feel something for several of the characters just to find out you should have felt anger due to their deceit and horrible character.that said, I liked it. The characters ignited a sense of distrust while reading And I found myself asking, do people really do this?
