At first when I started reading I thought "this book is going to be a cliche story". It had all the cliches of woman wants other woman's husband. Wants to take over her life. Well! it kinda was like that. But when I read on I seen there was a depth to this characters. It wasn't until close to the second or third part that the story took a turn.
Daphne the first wife that we know of, I thought ok typical, married a rich man, went to all obligations etc... There was another side to her. She wasn't all that flaky that she didn't know what was going on in her household. And at the end she was the better person for it.
Jackson seemed to be upstanding man. Until reading more of this other side of him. Dark, nasty, and privileged person. I don't know how Daphne put up with it. I would have killed him by that time.
Amber, what can I say about her. She was something alright. She was one, two steps ahead of Jackson. The whole family there for a while. The cliche becomes a victim at the end. Too clever for her own good.
Then there was the kids Tallulah and Bella. Not to forget about Jackson Junior. All little ones who were caught in middle of all the deceitfulness. They are the true victims in all of this. And hope they grow up to be wonderful people.
And having a part in this story worth mentioning is Daphne's mother and father. Although he passed away her father knew Jackson was a bad influence. But you know that we can't say anything to our kids. Im glad to read that Daphne did get to mend fences with her mother.
I have highlights from kindle that stood out for me on Goodreads
I was going to give The Last Mrs Parrish a 3 but as I stated that the story took on its own turn to better the story. For that I give The Last Mrs Parrish 5
Looking forward to reading another one of Liv Constantine books The Last Time I Saw You
