graceburke 's review for:

The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine
5.0

I’m surprised reading other reviews for this book because I absolutely loved it and very early on I was already thinking “I cannot wait to give this 5 stars on goodreads.” Amber and Daphne are both incredibly compelling characters. I enjoyed the way the book was organized (3rd person nar. for Amber then 1st person nar. from Daphne) and it made the second part all the more exciting and insane (I have so much love for Daphne). Constantine really makes you think about perspective- I really liked Jackson in the beginning (ugh I should’ve known). Also, despite how batshit crazy Amber is, did she really deserve to end up in that relationship- was it selfish of Daphne to do what she did to her as an act of revenge? IDK! But! I couldn’t put this book down. From the very first page I wanted to know what the hell Amber’s deal was and I was not at all disappointed in the way it just turned into two incredibly beautiful, smart women girlbossing and gaslighting the other behind their backs. (Also the fact that Liv Constantine is the pen name for two sisters who live long distance is very cool to me so bonus points for that.)
