Chilling and Heartbreaking: The Last Mrs. Parrish is Everything you ever want from a Book

-

I am too numb to even start writing about this book. When I picked up The Last Mrs. Parrish, I, as an avid thriller reader, was expecting the usual plot twists and thrills all the way, but what came out of this book changed the game for me. Surpassing all expectations, the book gave me the most magical experience of my life in less than 400 enthralling pages. After I put down the book, I realized I need a significant amount of time to process everything my mind and heart went through before jumping into another book.

The plot, as mentioned in the blurb, revolves around Amber Patterson, a 26-year-old woman, who is tired of being average, earning enough to barely meet the ends. Amber envies Daphne Parrish, who seems to have it all, from a luxurious seaside mansion to butlers and maids at her service round the clock; from expensive dresses and jewelry to a multi-millionaire husband, Jackson. Amber decides to sabotage Daphne and Jackson’s relationship and win Jackson over for herself, so that she can have the life Daphne has, a life of luxury without any worries. But the interesting fact is, the blurb doesn’t even cover half of what is inside this artistic creation. A little over halfway inside the book, every belief and expectation is shattered as you are made to stand in front of a mirror reflecting the reality. Never have I ever felt as at one with any character of a novel as I did with Daphne. She has my heart.




The plot takes some time to build up, but once it does, there is no going back. The turn of events is smooth, and I read on with my heart pacing as fast as a galloping horse, all my emotions at steak. The climax and ending melted my heart, and for the first time in my life, I have cried after reading a book. This book offers you thrill, suspense, heartbreak, betrayal and pain, all blended in harmoniously to create this mind-blowing tale. I promise you will come out of the book as a different person, forced to rethink relationships, love and friendship, and the masks that people, willingly or unwillingly put on to hide the treacherous face of reality under the sheath of glitter and glamour.

I highly recommend it to all bookoholic thriller lovers!

My Rating – 5/5

Happy Reading!😇

The Guest List | Lucy Foley | Book Review | Pomspace

A lot of people have compared Foley’s The Guest List to Agatha Christie’s books . While I get the fact that there are similarities, I don’t think a comparison is particularly useful. The book’s extremely atmospheric, with a setting tailor made to host a murder mystery. The isolated island vibes, the grand wedding all set to take place, the dark secrets of people’s lives all add to the fact that while weddings are beautiful affairs, they can be sinister. Jules is getting married to Will in a particularly non-conventional wedding venue in an island off the Irish coast. The place’s breathtakingly stunning. As the guests start arriving the evening before the wedding, you realize that people have secrets deep buried in the past which if surfaced, can mess up everything. The characters all have deep rooted issues involving their own lives, their traumatic pasts. The book is written from the point of view of all these characters, in addition to which, two parallel timelines go on, one on th...

  Design is so simple. That's why it's so complicated. ~ Paul Rand Interior designers are professionals who bridge the gap between a building space and functionality, creativity and utility. While interior designers are closely related to architects, they are quite different still. Architects are majorly concerned with designing the overall design of a building, whereas interior designers work more intimately to convert these man-made spaces into utilitarian entities. Interior designers closely work with clients who have a vision in mind, and they strive to make their vision a reality. Ever since the pandemic hit, with people having to spent so much time at home, they have been eager to build a living space that marks escapism, that provides them comfort and serves as a retreat. The term interior designer has been contemplated. The profession by itself hasn’t been thoroughly established globally yet. In most European countries, where the profession has received recognition,...

  **WARNING: THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS** Find what you love and let it kill you. Oh gosh! Where to begin? It felt like Rebecca meets The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo . And that is a combination I am up for any day. Okay let me start by saying that that was dark. Really dark and disturbing. So, if you are someone who is uncomfortable with reading infant harm, child murder or explicitly triggering scenes, then here is a warning for you. Now that said, let’s begin. The book begins with Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer, heading for a meeting that’ll supposedly lead to a great career opportunity, when she witnesses a tragic accident in which a truck crushes the skull of a man. Lowen is still processing the gruesomeness of the incident when she meets Jeremy, who turns out is headed to the same meeting as her. Lowen gets an offer to finish the last three books in a series written by Verity Crawford. After expressing initial disinterest, Lowen decides to accept the offer. W...
