My Review:
I was surprised when I saw there would be a sequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish but thought, interesting. Unfortunately, this book was really a pale imitation. It was so incredulous that I just found myself wanting the book to be over already. This was a quick read but I'm not sure any of these characters deserve to ever be written of again . . . hope you have better luck!
Although she and Mason often joked about his mother's eccentricities and her adherence to strict social protocol, Daisy Ann loved and respected her mother-in-law. Underneath Birdie's commanding and grand exterior was a warm and empathic woman who was able to make anyone feel comfortable. And despite the fact that she wanted things a certain way, she had a charisma that drew people to her. How often had Daisy Ann heard her say, Charm is making the person you're talking to feel like the only person in the room.
