**5 Stars – Absolutely Gripping!**
I devoured *The Perfect Divorce* and loved it even more than its predecessor, *The Perfect Marriage*! From page one, I was hooked—this thriller is packed with gripping twists that kept me on edge the entire time. I couldn’t put it down! Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced reader copy—I’ll definitely be purchasing a physical copy for my shelves!

This was one of the best books that I have read in a while and the sequel out does "The Perfect Marriage". Sarah Morgan does it again! This book held my interest and kept me entertained from start to finish. I would definitely read "The Perfect Marriage" before starting this book so you can make the connections.

Thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for this free advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Another twisty, domestic suspense where everyone's motives are murky, there are lots of lies, scheming and unlikable characters but I couldn't put it down. Sure to satisfy fans of the first book but strong enough to standalone, this was EXCELLENT on audio with a full cast of narrators. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early audio copy in exchange for my honest review!

ALC 🎧📖 Review: The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pub Date: April 15, 2025

I feel like this one had a little too much going on. I had a hard time connecting with the characters the way I did in The Perfect Marriage. If you enjoy domestic thrillers, I do think you’ll enjoy this one. I just expected something a little less far-fetched.

Thank you to @netgalley and @blackstonepublishing for this ALC in exchange for an honest review.

It’s been eleven years since high-powered attorney Sarah Morgan defended her husband, Adam, against the charge of murdering his mistress. Sarah has long since moved on, starting a family with her new husband, Bob Miller, and changing careers. Her life is back to being exactly how she always wanted … or is it?

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.

Even though I didn’t read The Perfect Marriage (I didn’t realize this was the sequel when I grabbed it on Netgalley), I still really enjoyed it! There was probably some backstory I missed, obviously, but I feel like you could enjoy this even on its own.

I love domestic thrillers because there’s so much drama and this book was full of it. As Sarah and Bob go through a divorce, we see some really vindictive, delusional, and narcissistic behaviors which made for a super wild ride LOL. There were a lot of twists that I didn’t see coming and the ending felt really unbelievable, but in a good way!

The Perfect Marriage was my first Jeneva Rose read, and has been the one book of hers that I have enjoyed the most. Until The Perfect Divorce. I think that this is an instance where the sequel might just be better than the first!

We continue the story of Sarah Morgan, after the conviction of her first husband, Adam, who was charged and found guilty of murdering the woman he was having an affair with. We find ourselves reliving moments and finding new information along the way in this read. It was so good. I appreciate the opportunity to read and provide feedback for this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for the opportunity to read the audio ARC of this great read!

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 Marriage was the first book I read by Jeneva and I really enjoyed it and was excited to read this one. The Perfect Divorce is equally diabolical and filled with crazy characters.

Love how she writes characters that you absolutely despise but they pull you in so you cannot stop reading/listening to the story.

The audiobook was fantastic! The full cast - Mozahn Navabi, J.S. Arquin, Adam Lazarre- White, Brittany Pressley, Andi Arndt, and Andrew Eiden were fantastic! They brought amazing voice, emotions and gave each character perfect personality!!

Thank you NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for the complimentary copy.

My two go-to thriller authors are Jeneva Rose for adult books and Holly Jackson for YA, so naturally I was very excited to read The Perfect Divorce!

I listened to the audiobook last weekend, and unsurprisingly, this is the kind of story that demanded my full attention. I struggled to put it down once I started!

The story picks up eleven years after the events of The Perfect Marriage, beginning with the reopening of the investigation into Sarah’s ex-husband’s mistress’s murder, just as she’s in the midst of a divorce from her current husband.

This book contains all of the extreme drama, twisty plots, and shocking reveals that Rose is known for.

While there was a moment around the halfway mark where the plot progression and reveals felt like they stalled a bit, that honestly might have just been my impatience to find out what would happen next!

Thank you to the publisher for the gifted ALC! I really enjoyed this story and, even though it might be too early for this, can't wait to see what comes next from Jeneva Rose!

The Perfect Divorce takes place 11 years after the end of The Perfect Marriage. This, too, is very much a popcorn thriller. It also has a major cat/mouse dynamic that was fun. It does go a bit off the rails, but I also found it to be entertaining and bingey. Some will find it to be full of twists, while more experienced thriller readers may see them coming. All in all, it was a fun overall listen.

I personally could not finish this audiobook. I'm am sure that the story is great, I enjoyed the first book "The Perfect Marriage ". However, the voices for the characters especially her husband was so distracting. I just couldn't listen anymore to that character. I will try and read the book, but the audiobook was just not for me.

Okayyy this was so much drama in the best possible way. I mean, we’ve got cheating, missing people, reopened murder cases, custody battles—like, it’s giving legal thriller meets Real Housewives, and honestly? I was entertained.

Our girl Sarah has been through it, and she’s not exactly taking the high road now either… but that’s what makes it all so juicy. Everyone’s scheming, everyone’s shady, and you’re never really sure who’s telling the truth (or if anyone is). There were definitely some moments where I was like, “wait, WHAT just happened?!” and I love that in a thriller.

It’s fast-paced, twisty, and a lil messy—in a good way. Even if you didn’t read the first book, you’ll still be able to follow along (though you might miss a few deeper tea spills). Oh, and the ending? Definitely left me side-eyeing a few characters and rethinking the whole thing. 👀

Big thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the audiobook in exchange for my honest review!

Thank you Netgalley and Blackstone Publishing for the ALC.

A fun follow-up to The Perfect Marriage. We catch up with Sarah and her new husband, Bob. After discovering Bob cheated on her, Sarah immediately files for divorce. When his mistress goes missing, history may start repeating itself.

This was an entertaining popcorn thriller elevated even more by excellent narration. I flew through it and loved all the twists and turns.

Jeneva Rose delivers another fast-paced, twisty domestic thriller with The Perfect Divorce, and the audiobook format only enhances the experience. The narration is engaging and well-cast, with voice actors who bring each character to life and keep the tension building throughout.

The plot centers around a high-powered divorce attorney who finds herself tangled in a case that hits far too close to home. As secrets unravel and alliances shift, you're never quite sure who to trust—which is classic Jeneva Rose. The pacing is tight, and the story keeps you hooked with short chapters and cliffhangers that make it nearly impossible to press pause.

What stands out most is the way the story plays with perception, loyalty, and power dynamics in relationships. If you’re into domestic suspense with morally gray characters and unexpected turns, this one’s for you.

While I personally felt the first book in this series was stronger, The Perfect Divorce still delivers a gripping and satisfying sequel.

Overall, it’s a compelling follow-up that keeps the story moving in an intriguing direction. If you enjoyed the first book, this one is definitely worth the listen.

The Perfect Divorce is an incredible read that brings back memorable characters. Jeneva Rose is a master. The narration was perfect.

Sarah Morgan is an attorney, who happened to have a high profile client: her husband. She defended Adam after he was accused of offing his mistress. Years later, Sarah is remarried to Bob when she discovers he had an affair and the new mistress ends up missing. She wastes no time filing for divorce. At the same time, the old case against Adam and that mistress is reopened.

Twists and turns like you wouldn’t believe! The Perfect Marriage was one of my favorites, and this sequel was too! Fast paced, easy read thriller. Thanks Net Galley, Blackstone Publishing, and Jeneva Rose for the ARC! Pub date today 4/15/25!

I read THE PERFECT MARRIAGE in my early bookstagram days when I was getting back into reading, and I absolutely loved it. I was thrilled to see Jeneva was writing a sequel!

THE PERFECT DIVORCE is a fast-paced, twisty thriller with a heavy dose of revenge.

The audiobook was fantastic! A full-cast for the many alternating POVs 🙌 it was easy to keep track of the characters, and the multiple narrators helped bring the story to life.

There are so many unlikable characters, but it didn’t bother me with this story. I was intrigued by the mystery and couldn’t wait to see how it was all going to play out.

This story will keep you on your toes with all of the action. While it’s a bit wild at times, it didn’t take away from the enjoyment of the story. And it all pays off with the ending!

It’s been years since I read book one, but this sequel immediately brought me back into the world of these characters. Jeneva did a good job giving a little bit of the backstory from book one, but I highly recommend reading these in order to better understand all of the pieces at play!

📚 Review: The Perfect Divorce 🔪🩸
Happy Pub Day to this brilliant sequel!!
If you are a fan of The Perfect Marriage, like I am, I think you will love this one too. Really! All the reasons that made me love the first one so much, were there for me to love all over again in the second one. It was addictive, fast paced and kept me guessing the whole time. I really didn’t know who was playing who the whole time. It was crazy! I listened to this for
5 1/2 hours straight to finish this. LOVED the ending! I’m not going to say anything about it other than it is out TODAY!! Go get it!
I DO recommend, you read the first one before you read this one though. I feel like you definitely need to know the back story of the characters to understand things better. It has been years now since I’ve read The Perfect Marriage. And I even wish I had re read the first one again before I read this one. I definitely could’ve used a refresher. But this was awesome! I listened to this one and the narrators did a great job! Shout out to @britpressley 👏🏻 Thank you to @netgalley and @blackstonepublishing for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. This was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫/5 stars for me! Loved it! Really addictive!🔪🩸

Pub Day: Today!!

Have you read either The Perfect Marriage or The Perfect Divorce yet? What are your thoughts?

📖 Bookish Thoughts
This audiobook started off super strong and ended in total chaos—and I was into it. The multiple narrators were great and made each character feel way more real.
Bob? Hated him from the beginning. He just felt off—so smug and arrogant! I couldn’t stand him.
Sarah was mostly likable! I really liked the detective though—felt steady and solid.
I had a pretty good idea where things were headed, but I still enjoyed how it all wrapped up. It did slow down a bit around the 3/4 mark, but overall, I enjoyed this book!

💭 Final Thoughts
Not the twistiest thriller out there, but the emotional tension and messy characters kept me hooked. I’d definitely listen to more from this author.
