The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine
4.5

I give this book 4.5 stars. Overall, I enjoyed the book. Parts of this book were similar to Freida McFadden’s “The Housemaid,” but I did feel the actual plot/majority of story events were different enough. I could see how some people view the beginning as slow, but I personally didn’t mind as it was interesting enough to keep my attention. Amber’s character was insufferable at times (which I believe was the point). The one thing I wasn’t a huge fan of was just because Amber’s character was a terrible person in general, I don’t believe the theme of her “getting what she deserves” by ending up and making it seem like being stuck to eternal damnation with Jackson was right. No one deserves to be abused, tortured, sexually assaulted, repeatedly threatened, etc. I feel her “punishment” or consequence for her actions should have fit the crime(s), like going to jail.
