Sarah Morgan is back, and she’s as diabolical as ever in the sequel to The Perfect Marriage. Prepare to suspend disbelief for this one, because the plot line was as outlandish as the first book, and I loved every minute of it! It was so fun!
I was expecting to predict the twists, and I didn’t. The short chapters and alternating POVs worked great. I couldn’t stop turning pages!
I definitely thought this was a step up from The Perfect Marriage. If you enjoyed the first, I think you’ll love the sequel!
Thank you to Blackstone Publishing for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I spotted The Perfect Divorce on NetGalley and was immediately intrigued—but realized I needed to read The Perfect Marriage first. I'm so glad I did! It was absolutely incredible—I couldn’t put it down and literally gasped at the ending. I knew right away I had to request The Perfect Divorce, and I was thrilled to be approved just a couple days later.

It did not disappoint. In fact, it was just as good—if not better—than the first book. I read a lot of thrillers, and it’s rare that I don’t see at least some of the twists coming, but that’s not the case with this author. These books keep me guessing all the way through.

If you’re a thriller fan, I highly recommend carving out a full day, curling up on the couch, and devouring this one. You won’t want to stop once you start!

Jenna Rose will forever be my favorite thriller writer. The twist always gets me and I absolutely love the multiple POVs in this story.

I was very excited to continue in the world of the Perfect Marriage. Sarah is a wild character and her mind is fascinating. As a reader with multiple points of view from the characters allows you to try and figure things out. Just when you think it’s one thing another thing is tossed into the mix.

The twists in this story was great and I absolutely loved it and highly recommend this follow up story if you really enjoyed The Perfect Marriage.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

The sequel we have all been waiting for is finally here && trust me, it did not disappoint. Twists and turns around every corner that I never saw coming. Trying to figure out who was manipulating who had my mind spinning! Such a great thriller, maybe even better than the first one 🤭

The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose is the twisty and suspenseful sequel to the best selling novel The Perfect Marriage. This is definitely a sequel that you NEED to read the first book before you read this one.
In the first book, Sarah Morgan was the wife and attorney of Adam Morgan when he was accused of the m*order of Kelly Summers, his mistress.

The Perfect Divorce picks up eleven years after the events in The Perfect Marriage. Sarah is now remarried to Bob Miller and they have a daughter together named Summer. Sarah and Bob are in the middle of a contentious divorce because Bob had a one night stand. Just as the divorce starts to get dirty, Sarah is in for a shock when new DNA evidence is uncovered in her ex husband's case. Then when Bob's mistress goes missing both Sarah and Bob are pulled in to an intense game of cat and mouse full of secrets and suspense!!

I absolutely LOVED this book!! Before I started, I re-read The Perfect Marriage and I am so glad I did. I was able to dive right back into the action and I felt like it helped me remember some pretty big plot points and backstory. Jeneva Rose does a brilliant job picking up where we left off and enhancing and expanding on the storyline rather than rehashing the story. Jeneva's clever wit really stands out making even some pretty dark turns entertaining. I definitely think that this book was even better than the first and I highly recommend picking it up!! Oh.. don't forget to read those acknowledgements 😉

Thank you to NetGalley, Jeneva Rose, and Blackstone Publishing for this ARC!! Publication day is April 15th 2025!!

Jeneva does it again! This book absolutely
DELIVERED. Some books are better left at just the one, but I knew Sarah Morgan's story wasn't finished, and knowing the amazing stories that Jeneva writes, I knew this one was going to be out of this world good. I loved the tension between sarah and Bob, as if it was a race to see who would get who in the end, especially when Bob has damning evidence against Sarah. There were so many twists and turns and it's honestly scary how good Jeneva is at writing the perfect crimes, and not just that but so unbelievably intelligent to piece it all together the way that she does. This was such a gripping and unputdownable book that I was able to just binge. Highly recommend picking this one out, because it was equally as good, if not maybe even a little better than the first!

I’m always nervous with sequels, because there’s always a risk of them not living up to the original. And yet, that was never even a question for me when Jeneva announced this sequel.

And even still, I was blown away.

I loved the full cast audiobook—I was completely enthralled from the first chapter. I loved getting thrown back into Sarah Morgan’s world only to figure out what new scheme she managed to conjure up.

It was fascinating to jump into the future with these characters—to see Sarah post-Adam. To see her life with Bob. To watch their lives unravel one lie at a time—and to try to determine just who was lying…or if they all were.

History repeats itself when Sarah’s husband is accused of cheating—but instead of his mistress being killed like Adam’s, this one has simply gone missing. But that doesn’t matter to Sarah. She won’t stand to be tied to another cheater. Not again. And yet, other secrets come out in their town that require Adam’s case to be re-inspected at the same time that Bob comes under fire with the police department, too.

I love Jeneva’s way of weaving stories and twists. Sarah Morgan is one of the most calm, collected, and clever characters I’ve read to date and I truly wish this series would continue.

If you love twisty, suspenseful thrillers filled with domestic drama and the constant questioning of whose side you should be on? This is easily the book for you. But you have to read The Perfect Marriage first. Trust me on this.

I absolutely loved this and devoured it within days! No one mess with Sarah Morgan! She’ may look like an Angel but she’s wicked smart and will do anything to protect her and her daughter. This sequel kept me interested and was fast paced. Excited to read more!

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱:
⇥ Jeneva's prose is smooth, approachable, and engaging, and it's clear that her style has matured since The Perfect Marriage. It flows easy and the inner monologues aren’t annoying at all.
⇥ The multiple POVs were a strong point. I loved seeing the story unfold through different lenses—it added layers and tension that kept things interesting.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗱:
⇥ This is 1000% a sequel you need to read after refreshing yourself on the first book. I dove in cold—five years after reading The Perfect Marriage—and paid the price. Characters, plot threads, and past twists were all a blur, and that majorly impacted my ability to stay grounded in what was happening.
⇥ And then there’s the main female character, Sarah Morgan. Yikes. I could not stand her. When you hate the FMC, it makes it nearly impossible to root for anyone or stay emotionally invested. Maybe that was the point—but for me, it just made the reading experience frustrating.
⇥ The detective's POV was realllllly hard to understand. I feel like he spoke with a sock over the mic.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴:
★★★★/No Rating
I’m giving this four stars out of fairness to the writing and structure, but I genuinely have no idea what even happened by the end. That’s on me—I should have reread book one. I saw a few reviews saying this was better than The Perfect Marriage, and I wanted to give it a fair shot. But in the end, I was just too lost, and too annoyed by Sarah, to fully enjoy it. Maybe if you do reread the first one, you’ll have a completely different (and probably better) experience than I did.

Thanks to @netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts!

The Perfect Divorce is the sequel to The Perfect Marriage. Sequels can be tricky because a lot of the time it’s hard to live up to the original, but I am happy to say The Perfect Divorce delivers! If you haven’t read The Perfect Marriage first, you will want to add it to your TBR before reading this one, as the story continues with Sarah Morgan who in the first book was the attorney of her husband Adam Morgan when he was accused of the m*rder of his mistress. You will need to read how that goes, but where it ends is where this book pick ups. If you read it and worry you won’t remember all the details, you will get a quick summary in the beginning reminding you.

Sarah Morgan is back with Bob, her new husband and daughter Summer. Unfortunately she finds out Bob has had an affair. She asks for a divorce wanting to start new with her daughter, and wants nothing to do with him. He tries everything to get Sarah to give him another chance but when she won’t change her mind, he lets her know she will regret it. There’s another problem Sarah has to deal with and that’s new DNA evidence from her ex husband’s case that opens the investigation back up. On top of that, the woman Bob had an affair with is missing.

The rest of the story I will let it play out for you, but that’s just the beginning of the book. It was a fun fast paced ride, with many twists, some new characters, and some old ones. If you enjoyed the first one, I think this one is even better. It was great getting to revisit Sarah and see how life treated her after Adam. This was one of those books that I picked up every free moment I had because I was dying to see where it was all going.

4.5 Stars

Make sure you read the acknowledgement at the end, but do not read before you finish the book. It gives us some insight to the future, that I am very excited about.

This was a great follow up to The Perfect Marriage. I love Jeneva’s writing and seeing how she weaves an intricate tale of murder. Jeneva Rose is an author whom I always look forward to and is always on my list of most anticipated for the year. I love her humor and sharp witt.

The Perfect Divorce is an emotional rollercoaster wrapped in plot twist and constant questioning. From the very first page, I was hooked by the raw honesty and layered storytelling. Jeneva Rose has a gift for creating characters that feel real. There were so many plot twist within this story that I just stopped guessing what I thought was going to happen next.

Sarah isn’t the typical wife. She’s sharp, self-assured, and fiercely independent. But what makes her stand out is how layered and intelligent she is. Beneath her polished surface lies someone who’s still grappling with the decisions of her past that may come back to haunt her. But never underestimate Sarah Morgan because she’s always 10 steps ahead. Once she sets her mind to something best believe she’s going to handle it.

Poor Bob didn’t know what was coming to him. Sarah had him losing his mind without even laying a finger on him. I was really hoping Bob came out on top in the divorce and Sarah got what she deserved. If you read the first book and enjoyed it, then you’re going to love The Perfect Divorce! The sequel was way better than the first book!

The Perfect Divorce is the sequel to Jeneva Rose’s thriller “The Perfect Marriage.”
HOWEVER, it can be read as a standalone. Be prepared for a page turner, suspenseful, unexpected twists, on the edge of your seat, are you kidding me events one after another.
Eleven years have passed since Sarah defended her husband, Adam, against charges of murdering his mistress. (The Perfect Marriage). Sarah remarries. She has a daughter with her new husband Bob.
After a decade of marriage she learns Bob has a one-night stand. She files for divorce. Bob begs for forgiveness and Sarah won’t hear of it. He becomes aggressive in the divorce with threats of soul custody if their child etc. THEN his one night stand goes missing. This turn of events becomes a game of cat and mouse between the couple. I needed a board with colored tacks and string to figure who was attacking who. Kept me guessing the entire book. Everything ties together and I held my head after with thoughts of WTH. Fast read with each chapter being a different POV or characters side of events.
A must read!
Thank you NetGalley.
Thank you Blackstone Publishing for an ARC read in exchange for my review

Here's the revised review without mentioning the time jump:

**Review: The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose**

Jeneva Rose’s *The Perfect Divorce* continues the story of Sarah and Bob, diving deeper into their tumultuous relationship. The sequel expertly picks up from where the original book left off, maintaining the same tone and themes while introducing new layers of complexity.

One of the standout elements is the character development. Sarah, as a protagonist, remains as formidable as ever, with her complex motivations and internal struggles driving the narrative. Bob, her husband, also retains his strong presence, and their relationship continues to be fraught with tension. Both characters are capable of surprising strength and depth, keeping the reader invested in their journey.

The real star of *The Perfect Divorce*, however, is the plot. Rose does a brilliant job of keeping the readers on edge with an array of unexpected twists and turns. Just when you think you know where the story is going, the narrative shifts in ways that not only surprise but also make perfect sense within the context of the story. The pacing is spot-on, ensuring that the suspense never lets up.

As someone who received an advanced reader copy from NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing, I can confidently say that *The Perfect Divorce* delivers a thrilling and satisfying sequel that fans of the first book won’t want to miss. It’s a gripping psychological thriller that expertly navigates the complexities of relationships, power, and revenge.

I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommended!

Well she has done it again!
And like myself I’m pretty sure we have been waiting for this book for such a long time!

I’m so excited and happy for Rose!

The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose was an absolutely gripping, edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller that kept me reading late into the night.

Her style of writing is just fantastic as the characters, story, plot, twists, turns, and everything else in between were all great.
I could NOT stop turning the pages.
If you are looking for a twisty ride that will keep you guessing, look no more!
The book is fast paced and suspenseful with a constant underlying feeling of foreboding and dread.
Every twist shocked me and I kept gasping every time something unexpected happened. I was incredibly invested in the characters and that made it really easy to follow.

Sarah Morgan is back and I couldn’t be more excited! Jeneva Rose is a stunning author, and this book is truly fantastic. The sequel picks up where The Perfect Marriage left off, with Sarah now starting the divorce process with her new husband, Bob Miller.


Throughout the book are completely unexpected twists and turns that are masterfully crafted. I thought telling from multiple points of view helped, especially the inclusion of the officer on the case. I appreciated the new character of Summer, Sarah and Bob’s daughter, because she added depth to Sarah’s character. Also, this is the first time I have read the acknowledgments in a book and actually gotten excited.

A total page turner. I couldn’t decide if I liked or hated Sarah Morgan. Throughout the entire book, I was so torn. I couldn’t out it down and thoroughly enjoyed this one!
10/10 recommend!!

So glad i got to read this book! Every Jeneva Rose book is full of twists and turns and this one was no exception ❤️ Cant wait to get my physical copy!

This book was an amazing sequel to The Perfect Marriage. The amount of detail was on par as well as the plot. I enjoyed the new characters that heightened the old ones from book one. The pace was great and well timed. The ending left me shocked and I can’t wait to see if the story continues. Which I hope I does because she is an amazing story teller.
