Story
Addison’s about to get married, but she’s not looking forward to the big day. It’s not her fiancé; he’s a wonderful man. It’s because Addison doesn't know who she really is. A few years ago, a kind driver found her bleeding next to a New Jersey highway and rescued her. While her physical wounds healed, Addison’s memory never returned. She doesn’t know her real name. Or how she ended up injured on the side of a road. Or why she can’t shake the notion that she may have done something very, very bad.

An intense psychological thriller for fans of I Am Watching You, The Luckiest Girl Alive, and All the Missing Girls. Two missing girls. Thirteen years apart. Olivia Shaw has been missing since last Tuesday. She was last seen outside the entrance of her elementary school in Hunts Point wearing a white spring jacket, blue jeans, and pink boots. I force myself to look at the face in the photo, into her slightly smudged features, and I can't bring myself to move. Olivia Shaw could be my mirror image, rewound to 13 years ago.

Littleport, Maine, has always felt like two separate towns: an ideal vacation enclave for the wealthy, whose summer homes line the coastline, and a simple harbor community for the year-round residents whose livelihoods rely on service to the visitors. Typically, fierce friendships never develop between a local and a summer girl - but that’s just what happens with visitor Avery Greer and Littleport resident Sadie Loman. Each summer for almost a decade, the girls are inseparable - until Sadie is found dead.

Story
When the body of disgraced reality TV star Desiree Pierce is found on a playground in the Bronx the morning after her 25th birthday party, the police and the media are quick to declare her death an overdose. It’s a tragedy, certainly, but not a crime. But Desiree’s half-sister Lena Scott knows that can’t be the case. A graduate student at Columbia, Lena has spent the past decade forging her own path far from the spotlight, but some facts about Desiree just couldn’t have changed since their childhood. And Desiree would never travel above 125th Street.

Publisher's Summary
The National Best Seller and a Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine Book Club Pick
“Will keep you up. In a ‘can’t put it down’ way. It’s ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley’ with XX chromosomes.” (The Skimm)
“Deliciously duplicitous. . . . equally as twisty, spellbinding, and addictive as Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl or Paula Hawkins’s The Girl on the Train.” (Library Journal, starred review)
Amber Patterson is fed up. She's tired of being a nobody: a plain, invisible woman who blends into the background. She deserves more - a life of money and power like the one blond-haired, blue-eyed goddess Daphne Parrish takes for granted.
To everyone in the exclusive town of Bishops Harbor, Connecticut, Daphne - a socialite and philanthropist - and her real-estate mogul husband, Jackson, are a couple straight out of a fairy tale.
Amber's envy could eat her alive...if she didn't have a plan. Amber uses Daphne's compassion and caring to insinuate herself into the family's life - the first step in a meticulous scheme to undermine her. Before long Amber is Daphne's closest confidante, traveling to Europe with the Parrishes and their lovely young daughters and growing closer to Jackson. But a skeleton from her past may undermine everything that Amber has worked toward, and if it is discovered, her well-laid plan may fall to pieces.
With shocking turns and dark secrets that will keep you guessing until the very end, The Last Mrs. Parrish is a fresh, juicy, and utterly addictive thriller from a diabolically imaginative talent.

I gave it 20 chapters and gave up
This book literally takes forever and you are not even excited for the main character to accomplish what she is doing bc there is literally no reason for her to be so terrible. There are tiny snippets of her backstory but they don't even make sense. I got tired of listening to the main character complaining about how hard her life is. Don't do it.

Deeply Problematic
The narrator for Amber's role was a bit grating and hard to get used to.
Overall, I thought this book was terrible. The characters one dimensional and unbelievable.
The ending was horrific and it seemed like the author tried to convince you the actions of the one likable character were justified (they weren't).
This book is deeply problematic and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Well Written Characters and Engaging Story
I must admit I spent some moments doubting whether to continue reading this book through the first half exploring Amber's character. The real story begins to unfold when you see things from Daphne perspective. And trust me, it's worth the wait. The voice acting was a little cringe worthy at first (just hire a male voice actor. Please. It really takes you out of the story to hear what sounds like a pubescent teenage boy trying to drop his voice). Otherwise, the performance was well done.

Having read the prequel first!
Loved this listen. You don’t know til halfway through that there is going to be a major plot twist. I loved it. Somehow you still manage to feel a little bit bad for Amber, even though you don’t want too. She is vile and doesn’t deserve it. There’s still that little part of you that wants her to win a little bit.
But I love Daphne’s story.

The house of lies!
First I loved this story and narration.
We follow Amber, who is tired of her boring life. She wants a glam life, and is far from it.
She befriends the most popular women in Bishops Harbor, Daphne Parrish.
Daphne is everything Amber is not. A mother, rich, sophisticated, wealthy, popular and loved by all.
After these two meet, the naive Daphne becomes close with Amber. Shortly after becoming best pals, Amber is considered a part of the family.
Amber then starts getting close with Daphne's husband, Jackson, and their children.
From the moment the two women meet, their life begins to spiral out of control. Soon the whole Parrish family is twisted in lies, and manipulation.
At first I was beyond annoyed at how naive Daphne was, but she is smarter than what you may think.
I honestly did NOT see the twist coming in this book.
It was a great story, that kept me hooked. I listened in the car, at work, doing house chores etc.
I love when a book grabs me, and this one did. I ended up finishing this book in a day and a half , and was sad when it was over.

Ugh...I have no idea why people are recommending this book. I found it predictable, obvious, and written at such a rudimentary level. Characters were one-dimensional and the story felt like a bad soap opera plot.This book is basic at best.

Not for me.
I forced myself to finish this only because I wanted to be a good book club member. I did not grow to like a single character in the book, not even the children. A story about two narcissistic sociopaths, with the male villain so disgusting I wished I could skip whole chapters. Not until chapter 63 or so did I even have any curiosity about how it would end. When it was finally over I only felt relief to leave behind these sordid characters.

Up in the Air
Part 1 was so hard to get through. Amber is the most unlikeable character- which was the point- but so much so that I almost didn’t want to continue with the book. Part 1 also draggggggs, whereas part 2 is quicker paced and in my opinion a bit better from Daphne’s pov as opposed to Ambers whiny ass. Overall I don’t get the raving reviews. Maybe it is because I listened to this book after the wife between us? Not sure but it was hard to get through, Part 2 & 3 almost made it worth the million hours Part 1 dragged on.

Ugh! Don't Buy This Book!
After reading glowing reviews of this book that included comparisons to "Gone Girl", "Girl on the Train", and even the "Talented Mr. Ripley", I was sold. But after struggling to finish this book, I felt duped. The story is ridiculous, predictable, and unoriginal. The plot and the characters are cliched. There is absolutely nothing positive I can say about this book. If I could give zero stars, I would. Save yourself the credit and 12-hours of your life, and don't buy this book.

Meh.
It was okay, I guess. I'm not sure why this book got such high ratings when there are better ones of this genre out there. The story dragged on unnecessarily at parts and some of the dialogue fell short of being believable. I didn't like Amber's narrator, but Daphne's wasn't too bad. All in all, this audiobook was merely "okay." I could get through it. Wouldn't recommend but wouldn't warn people away from it.

Reese, I Want My Credit Back!
I can't understand how on Earth this book made it to the list of Reese Witherspoon's book club!!! Sophomoric writing at best. Story in the same vein as Gone Girl and Girl on the Train. In the #Metoo era, I've had it with these trashy stories of overbearing men who inflict emotional, physical, and sexual abuse against women. I listened to the end thinking somehow the book would get better, but the twists were quite predictable. I'll be returning it for my credit back. This is third book I have listened to from Reese's book club. Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine was good. You Think It, I'll Say It was ok. I am now very skeptical regarding her other choices. In the case of this book, I'm guessing this was selected as a favor to someone (the writer, editor, publisher...) My Advice: Save your credit for a title much more worthy of your time.

A Fairy Tale Life
Probably the best book I’ve listened to this year! So well written.
We certainly don’t know what goes on behind the doors of the pampered and rich. I don’t think I’ll ever assume again that someone else’s life must be all roses just because they are rich and good looking. Definitely worth your time to listen to this.
