I loved the first book and I loved the 2nd book just as much. Were there some things that I thought might have been predictable...maybe a little bit. But I still was surprised by parts which sold me on this book. Sometimes sequels and follow ups can be a let down, but not this one. The key to this book was not who did it. We know who did it. The big questions is how did they do it...which made the book for me. I really enjoy Jeneva's Rose writing and can't wait to read more of her books.

The Perfect Divorce picks up eleven years after the shocking events of The Perfect Marriage. A former high-powered attorney, Sarah Morgan, is caught in a web of lies, secrets, and betrayal...again. After defending her husband, Adam, against the charges of murdering his mistress, she starts a new life with Bob Miller, another attorney. She believes that she has built a perfect existence. But her ideal world is shattered when Sarah catches Bob in a one-night stand. Sarah files for divorce when new DNA evidence surfaces in Adam's case, forcing the police to reopen the investigation. When the woman Bob slept with goes missing, Sarah is pulled back into a nightmare she thought she had escaped.
Jeneva Rose is a master of twists. When you think you have it figured out, the story pivots unexpectedly. The plot is always propelling you forward, maintaining a relentless pace that makes this book nearly impossible to put down. The high-stakes game between Sarah and Bob is deliciously toxic, and the layers of deception are masterful. Using multiple points of view adds suspense to the story and the emotional unraveling of the characters. The shifts between Sarah, Bob, and former Deputy Hudson's viewpoints are smooth and purposeful. I love Deputy Hudson's character; it brings a gritty detective noir vibe to the plot. Sarah is always two or maybe ten steps ahead of everyone else. With morally gray characters, a plot that never stops twisting, and a satisfyingly shocking ending make this book utterly addictive. Chef Kiss!
Thank you, NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing, for the opportunity to review an ebook and provide my honest feedback

Ahhhhh, this was a good continuation to The Perfect Marriage, and it was a thrilling game of wits between two crazy individuals. I won't spoil anything, but I liked seeing how having a kid and being married changed Sarah, and I liked her character even more in this book. She is seeking a divorce from her current husband, Bob, after what he did, and he doesn't want to give her one, so she still thinks they can be together. There are so many mind games in the relationship as they try to navigate the divorce, the cases they have at work, the re-opening of Adams's case, and so much more. There were a couple of twists, and even though some were predictable, I enjoyed the ride. Thanks to Blackstone Publishing for this arc.
4.25/5

This book was juicyyyyyyy. I couldn’t guess where the story was going and I liked that. I was not able to predict the ending whatsoever. This was a great sequel to The Perfect Marriage and I recommend it.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC.
I loved "The Perfect Marriage" and thoroughly enjoyed this as well. I am excited about the audiobook, as Adam Lazarre-White will narrate it. I think he will give the story an added layer of depth.

The writing in The Perfect Divorce is a noticeable improvement over the first book in the series. The prose is sharper, more polished, and the pacing is tighter, keeping the narrative moving at a thrilling clip. The author’s attention to detail in character development and plot structure shines here, making the twists and turns all the more impactful. Sarah’s emotional journey is layered, and as a reader, I found myself both sympathizing with her and questioning her choices. Her complex personality and the morally gray situation she’s in make for compelling reading.
One thing I really loved about this book is how I felt like a detective myself while reading. The clues, the red herrings, and the intricate web of secrets surrounding Sarah, Bob, and Adam all kept me guessing. The tension in the book builds steadily, and I couldn't help but try to piece together what was really happening. It’s one of those books that makes you feel like you’re in on the investigation, following every lead with the characters.
That said, while The Perfect Divorce excels in writing and suspense, the twist in the first book The Perfect Marriage still stands out as the more shocking one. The twist in this sequel was still strong and well executed, but the original left me reeling in a way this one didn’t quite match. Despite that, the high stakes of Sarah and Bob’s ugly separation, the renewed investigation into Adam’s case, and the tension between all the characters kept me hooked.

Everything I hoped for in a sequel to The Perfect Marriage. Jeneva Rose makes the characters so unlikable and so intriguing at the same time. I had my jaw on the floor multiple times. It was a quick read and I enjoyed it all the way through.

The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose is the kind of thriller that keeps you second-guessing everything. Just when I thought I had the ending figured out, another twist would come along and completely upend my theory. The way Rose masterfully weaves past cases into the present-day mysteries and abductions makes the story feel layered and gripping, like every little detail is a clue waiting to be unraveled. It’s the perfect mix of psychological mind games and suspense, keeping me hooked from start to finish.
What really made this book stand out, though, was how Rose crafted her characters. Bob and Sarah are both, at times, completely despicable, yet I couldn’t help but root for them—just not always at the same time. One minute, I was convinced Sarah was in the right, and the next, I was rethinking everything and siding with Bob instead. The shifting perspectives and moral gray areas kept me on my toes, making the reading experience even more immersive. By the time I reached the final pages, I was left in awe at how Rose managed to keep me guessing (and switching allegiances) the whole way through.

Perfect Divorce is a gripping, fast-paced read that keeps you on your toes from start to finish. The story unfolds seamlessly, weaving together tension, drama, and unexpected twists that make it impossible to put down. The characters are well-developed, and the plot keeps you engaged as secrets unravel and relationships are tested.
Sarah, in particular, steals the show as the villain you can’t help but love. She’s cunning, complex, and manipulative in a way that makes her both infuriating and fascinating. Her actions drive the story forward, creating moments of suspense and shock that leave you eager to see what she’ll do next.
If you enjoy domestic thrillers with strong character dynamics and a well-paced plot, Perfect Divorce is definitely worth a read. It’s the kind of book that hooks you early and keeps you invested until the very last page.

I could totally see this being made into a movie, Sarah Morgan was an excellent villain. She’s horrible but her machinations are mesmerizing. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to netgalley for an advance copy of this book. I anxiously started it upon receiving it. I enjoyed the first book and this follow up was just as good if not better. Jeneva did a good job of bringing the story from the first book into the second so you remember how things happened if you are like myself and read the first one awhile ago. The chapters were short enough that once I finished one I was ready to keep reading the next which made the book move very quickly. The story was one of intrigue and suspense and I really enjoyed this book. If you enjoyed the first, you'll definitely like this follow up.

Thank you so much Jeneva Rose, net galley, and publisher. Getting this ARC copy was a dream come true.
Based off The Perfect Marriage I really didn't know where this book could lead. Because of that this whole book was a big surprise. Jeneva has done a great job as keeping us engaged and our attention in this book.
I think I only predicted one part in this and still I was wrong. All the other was twist after twist. One thing I can say is Sarah Morgan is back and still a badass lawyer that is always one step ahead of anyone. She is good at what she does and Jeneva says it isn't over even with this book. YES!! So happy to hear! I really can't say too much about this because it would give it away. You just have to read it if you were a The Perfect Marriage fan..

Jeneva Rose delivers a solid but not groundbreaking domestic thriller in The Perfect Divorce. The premise is intriguing—Sarah Morgan, a former high-powered attorney, finds herself entangled in yet another messy legal battle, this time with her soon-to-be ex-husband, Bob. As their divorce turns ugly, past secrets resurface, and new mysteries unfold, keeping the tension simmering.
The book offers entertaining twists and certain plot points are believable. Sarah is a strong lead, but some characters lack depth, making it hard to fully invest in their fates. The suspense is there, but it doesn’t always deliver the impact it promises.
Overall, The Perfect Divorce is a decent read with some engaging moments. A good pick for fans of domestic suspense. ⭐⭐⭐

I was looking forward to this sequel as I rated the first book very highly. However I felt lost a lot as characters were similarly named (Bob, Brad, Sarah, Stacy). There was a lot of back and forth with point of view which made it confusing as well. However I did not know where the book was going to end until the very end so that was good. I was invested to see what was happening and there were some surprises in there as well.

Absolutely enjoyed it. More than the perfect marriage. He twists and turns kept o ing. We need more of Sarah Morgan!

I hate giving Jeneva Rose a 3 star review because I really do usually love her books. This one didn’t land as well for me as her past reads.
It is still a fast paced suspenseful thriller, but I figured out the ending so early. Like many thrillers you also have to suspend belief and go with it. I don’t like how things were left for the daughter either. Will she be in a new book? I’m so curious about her character!
Overall, this one was just OK to me. Still enjoyed it though and I will definitely read her next one!

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐡 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐭 𝐲𝐞𝐭, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡.
I'll admit I didn't even read the synopsis, I step I rarely skip, but I was foaming at the mouth to read this book. I re-read TPM right before starting this, and while I wouldn't say it's necessary, it definitely helped me.
Eleven years have passed since powerful defense attorney Sarah Morgan defended her husband, Adam, who was charged with savagely murdering his mistress. Sarah has since changed careers, becoming the director of a non-profit organization, married her former co-worker Bob Miller, and had a daughter, whom she adores. Life is good...until it isn't. When history repeats itself and Bob cheats on Sarah, she immediately files for divorce.
Their separation quickly becomes acrimonious, and if that weren't enough, new DNA evidence is uncovered in Adam's case, forcing the police to reopen the investigation. Was everything really as cut and dried as it appeared?
Sarah is indeed a force to be reckoned with (can I be her when I grow up?) but she may have met her match. Someone knows exactly what happened with Adam's case, and they won't rest until Sarah is destroyed. Told from alternating points of view, including an unnamed narrator, this one will have you biting your nails until the shocking end. And DO NOT skip the author's notes at the end because there is a surprise announcement waiting for you! Thank you so much to Blackstone Publishing for my early copy. This book will publish April 15, 2025.
