The Perfect Divorce is a fun and thrilling sequel to The Perfect Marriage that delivers in spades. Jeneva Rose crafts a fun and tropey thriller that escalates further than the original somehow. Rose is at her best with these thrillers and is in the same vein as Frieda McFadden with wild and fun mystery and thriller stories

4/5 stars

I would recommend reading the first book in this series first – this one is the second. For this sequel, the perfect divorce was a better read than the perfect marriage, in my opinion. The twists and turns kept me guessing what was going to happen next. Every time I thought I had figured it out – I did not. Sarah Morgan sure is sneaky and not one to mess with. You just never know what she may do next!

Excited to see what else there is to come with Sarah Morgan in Perfect #3.

Thank you, NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing, for the opportunity to read an ARC of this book!

Thank you to Blackstone Publishing & Jeneva Rose for allowing me to review this arc. This is my opinion and not influenced by anything but the reading of this book.

I did have to read the 1st book before reviewing just to make sure I knew the full story, and I’m so glad I took the plunge of discovering this book. Oh my.

I will start by saying 2 things personally hooked me. One, Sarah Morgan is my in real life best friend’s name AND my dream job is a criminal defense attorney. So, that said, both books instantly hooked me.

Jeneva Rose is a master writer. As an ADHD reader, generally when I’m reading, books become EXTREMELY predictable. So I usually know exactly where the author is going. With Sarah and Bob’s story, I was along for the ride with a dozen speculations of what was going to happen and of course Ms Rose surprised me that I was left absolutely stunned. It’s rare that I truly enjoy and get captivated by a book that boggles my mind. This book was 100% an awesome mystery, thriller where I enjoyed every page, twist & turn. And Sarah Morgan’s character is one that we all want to love to hate but somehow we just can’t.

The world building, the characters, the plot twists, and even the absurdity of it all was 100% a pleasure. And even as I was stunned with the book’s end, I was so sad that the ride was over. It’s like the best rollercoaster ride you’ve ever ridden, especially if you’ve ever been on one like Great Adventure’s indoor pitch black where you haven’t a clue what’s ahead, you’re just gasping, yelling, throwing your hands in the air and wondering “what the heck did I just experience?!” Yeah… that’s this book & im sad I hadn’t discovered her sooner, but now I am definitely one of her 900K IG FOLLOWERS! She’s made a fan for life!

Read this book & enjoy your own adventure! I 100% recommend this 5⭐️ mystery thriller!

I loved the first book, The Perfect Marriage, so could not wait to get my hands on the sequel. I was into it from page one. This boo does not disappoint. I think it might even be better than the first one.

wow wow wow! I absolutely love Jeneva's work - loved the first installation of this series and this one was just as good!

The Perfect Divorce is the sequel to the Perfect Marriage and the book picks up about a year after the epilogue. It’s told from multiple POVs and you can’t help but love and hate some of the characters. The chapters are short and the pacing is great. There’s deception, secrets, lies, and so many twists and turns. The book was entertaining and suspenseful and I enjoyed seeing all the pieces come together at the end. Jeneva is an amazing storyteller and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!

Well holy hot damn Jeneva!

This book is IT! If you thought The Perfect Marriage was a ride — well, you better buckle up, because the twists keep twisting!

Some of them I was able to guess and figure out, but I also wasn’t quite sure where this was all leading to and she perfected it!

READ BELOW AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION — CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM THE PERFECT MARRIAGE — SO YOU MAY WANT TO STOP HERE IF YOU HAVEN’T READ IT YET.

We follow Sarah and Bob just over a decade after Adam was executed. The disappearance of a woman — who had an affair with Bob — puts Sarah and Bob in sight of the Prince William County Sheriff’s Office once again. Then there’s the former Sheriff, Ryan Stevens, who lands himself in a cell due to a DUI, and calls Sarah to be his attorney. This turn of events raises questions about the past, bringing to light key evidence that was not brought to Adam’s trial and therefore reopens the case of Kelly Summers aka Jenna Way.

The heat is on as Sarah files for divorce and Bob doesn’t want to suffer the same fate as Adam. There is no mercy between these two as they try to protect themselves and outdo one another in this very suspenseful cat and mouse game where the stakes are high and their lives depend on it — literally!

This is one you don’t want to miss! Jeneva wanted to escape the sequel curse and in my opinion, she succeeded! There’s so much more to the story here, and as much as I loved The Perfect Marriage (the first book of hers I read, which was in 2021 and have been following her since), this is currently my favorite of all her thrillers!

It releases 04/15/2025! I want to thank Mother Goose (Jeneva), Blackstone Publishing, and NetGalley for the opportunity to receive one of the first 100 digital ARCs as one of her silly geese in exchange for an honest review!

3.5 stars. Cat and mouse mystery at it's funnest (not a work, I know, but it's true). I was surprised to learn The Perfect Marriage would have a sequel. But...can Bob and Sarah really be trusted with each other? This short mystery is full of double-crossing intrigue and I couldn't wait to get to the end and learn about all the twists. Rose doesn't write ambiguous endings and I'm grateful. And, there's gonna be another book!! Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC

There is something so captivating about Sarah Morgan as a main character. What an amazing sequel! Jeneva Rose has done it again! I loved reading this book. Thank you for the opportunity. This book was both cozy and kept me guessing what would happen next. I particularly loved how Jeneva's wittiness came through in her writing. I felt like I was in the story with Sarah, Bob, and the police crew. Can't wait to hear what happens next for Sarah! The Perfect Re-Marriage? The Perfect Next Marriage? I'm on the edge of my seat!

Holy crap, this is THEEEEE masterclass novel in “what the hell just happened?”. Incredible incredible work, every loose end ties up PERFECTLY and it’s so stocking (and disturbing) to read. This is Jeneva Rose
‘ best work… and that’s saying something!

It was pretty good! I enjoyed Reading it just wish Adam wouldn’t have died in the first one.
I think For me it would have made it better that there was a chance he could have been released!
But I read It fairly quickly and felt like maybe she was a lil bit too much ahead of the game like what is she psychic!

I really enjoyed The Perfect Marriage because it was so fast paced so this really peaked my interest. Unfortunately, I was unable to finish it. It just did not hold my attention and felt a bit slow.

The Perfect Divorce by Geneva Rose is a darkly engaging and thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of relationships and the fragility of trust. The story follows a couple navigating the emotional and legal chaos of divorce, but with a twist—things are never as straightforward as they seem. Rose skillfully crafts a suspenseful narrative full of tension, secrets, and unexpected turns. With her sharp writing and keen insight into human behavior, The Perfect Divorce offers a gripping look at love, betrayal, and the consequences of our choices. A must-read for fans of psychological dramas and domestic thrillers.

5 ⭐️ holy freaking cow! Jeneva Rose never disappoints! The Perfect Marriage was amazing, but The Perfect Divorce was better! I’m hoping there’s more to Sarah Morgan’s story 👀 10/10! Releases April 15th!

The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose is a fast-paced thriller about Sarah Morgan, a tough lawyer who finds out her husband, Bob, cheated on her. She’s ready for a divorce! But Sarah’s no stranger to messy relationships. Her ex-husband, Adam, has had his own problems with the law, even being charged with murder. Now, new evidence ties Sarah, Bob, and Adam together in a way she didn’t expect.

Sarah has to figure out what to do next as everything gets more complicated. The story is full of suspense and twists that will keep you hooked until the very end.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for the opportunity to read The Perfect Divorce!

I reread (listened) to The Perfect Marriage before starting The Perfect Divorce just to remind myself of the details. I highly recommend you do this too! This is definitely a sequel where the first book is referenced a whole bunch so being fresh on the characters and plot helped me to enjoy the continued story.

I think I liked The Divorce even more than The Marriage, but there were some easy to guess twists along with some cheesy ones. But overall, it was fun to revisit Sarah Morgan and her devious traits. Looking forward to another (read the acknowledgement)!

Thank you NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for the ARC e-copy in exchange for an honest review!

First I'd like to thank the publisher, Blackstone, the author and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my unbiased review. I genuinely enjoy Jeneva Rose's books, and think they're fun, twisty, and fast reads. The Perfect Marriage was one of my faves when I read it, so when The Perfect Divorce was announced I was thrilled! I don't think this one was AS great as The Perfect Marriage for me, because man that book had the best plot twist, but this was a crazy story with twists and turns and gasps every couple of chapters. If you liked book one, you'll definitely want to preorder your copy of this one! Four enthusiastic stars from me!

A GREAT second part to a thrilling story! It kept me wondering just how far Sarah is willing to go to get what she wants. You love to hate the characters and it’s hard to know who you’re rooting for, if it’s anyone at all!

This book is not a stand alone and the first part needs to be read beforehand. I read it too long ago and think I would’ve enjoyed the perfect divorce more if I wasn’t foggy on the details of the first one!

Whoooooo!! It was everything I expected and so much more. Calculated. Risky. Mind boggling. I was predicting and changing my prediction at every turn.

4.5 ⭐️ Rounded up to 5 for reviews!
Jeneva literally never disappoints!! I honestly thought there was no way this book could be better than the first, but she proved me wrong. This one is even better 🤯
Very fast paced. Very thrilling. Very jaw dropping. Everyone gets waxed.
Amazing!!
Thank you Net Galley for the ARC 🫶🏼
