The Next Mrs. Parrish: A Novel

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • WINNER OF THE SILVER FALCHION AWARD • The thrilling sequel to the million-copy-bestselling Reese’s Book Club pick The Last Mrs. Parrish!
“Delicious and shocking.”—Jeneva Rose
“A brilliant page-turner.”—Lisa Gardner
“One hell of a ride!”—Andrea Bartz
CBS NEW YORK BOOK CLUB PICK • Daphne and Amber Parrish are thrust back into each other’s lives upon the resurgence of a long-forgotten threat, forcing a vicious game of cat and mouse where everything is on the line.
Amber Patterson Parrish has come a long way. Hard work and immaculate planning turned her from invisible wallflower to prominent socialite, though there have been bumps along the way. Less than a year after her husband Jackson’s tax-evasion scandal, Amber reigns supreme over the Bishops Harbor community. But with Jackson being released from prison, Amber’s free time—and money—is vanishing.
Meanwhile, Daphne Parrish left Bishops Harbor after her divorce from Jackson, swearing she would never go back. But when one of her daughters runs away from home, desperate to see her father, Daphne agrees to return for the summer for their daughters’ sake. Jackson swears he’s a changed man, but Daphne knows all too well that he can’t be trusted.
When a ghost from Amber’s past emerges looking for revenge, these three figures find unlikely allies in one another. But who is playing who? When all is said and done, they’ll have to fight tooth and nail for everything they have left in this zero-sum game.
With shocking turns and entertaining characters, The Next Mrs. Parrish will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about duplicity and betrayal.

Amber, the current Mrs. Parrish is wanting out of this marriage, but of course, Amber still wants to be able to maintain the lavish lifestyle she has grown accustomed to.
Jackson, who is now approaching his release from prison, is primed and ready to once again be King and take charge of his family and fortune. Putting her master-plan into action, she’s set to leave Jackson behind.
Daphne is the former Mrs. Parrish. She was able to leave and is now living far across the country from her ex-husband and father of her two children. Daphne now sees that certain situations are going to bring her and the children back into Jackson’s life, and that is the last thing she wants.
It was a fun and entertaining read, but I thought that the first book was so much better. This review was difficult to do, without giving too much away. You could read this one and a stand-alone, but it adds so much to the character content to start with The Last Mrs. Parrish. This was a three star read for me.

I am so glad we finally got a sequel and what a ride it was.
Amber, Daphne and Jackson are all back, Amber and Jackson are married, although Jackson has been in prison for a year and was released early. Daphne has been in California, a fresh start but comes back. There is also a new character, Daisy Ann who is out to get revenge.
There were plenty of twists, turns and toxicity.
I loved this book as much as the first. Was a sequel needed? Probably not but I am so glad it was written.
