Jeneva is def my auto buy author. i love everything about jeneva and all of her books. i definitely did not expect TPD to go the way it went. like i knew Sarah Morgan was a bad b*tch but i did not expect her to be themed BADDEST😂 this book was amazing, it was everything i wanted and more. was definitely worth the wait for the release!

That’s all, must read per usual.

Read Completed 4/5/25 | 3 stars | Book #47 of 2025

This was just okay! I wasn't the *biggest* fan of the first book, THE PERFECT MARRIAGE, giving it 3.5 stars, but THE PERFECT DIVORCE didn't really do it for me. It was... fine! I don't think I'd go recommending it unless you were already a big fan of the first one. If you were middle-of-the-road, I don't know that this would really go better for you.

My biggest issue was that this felt forced. With everything that happened, I didn't really see Sarah being married and having a child with another man (I guess Bob was a part of the first book but didn't really remember much besides the two main characters)... I guess aside from pretending she's living a normal life? My other big issue is that I don't like overly confident characters. Sarah was SO smart, she was SO clever, she was SO perfect. No one could ever outsmart her. Maybe she's a narcissist, I guess, but it's a little boring. We get the big reveal after everything, showing how smart she was but I really like a little tension and suspense and since we DO have her POV in this book, I would rather see a character that was a little uncertain and had some extra paranoia in there, but I guess that was Bob's job. It made her a little too super-villain and it wasn't my favorite. BUT that's just my personal taste. I don't fault the author for it because clearly people love it and it's her character -- that's just who she is.

The writing style was intriguing enough to continue through the whole book and still be entertained. I also appreciated the audiobook with a full cast for each POV. Some of the narrators were not good (what was Bob's character's voice sometimes 😅) but I do really like the full cast and it's great for production value to hear different voices!

If you're a fan of the first, I'd probably say go for it, but I think you have to love Jeneva Rose to appreciate this one. If THE PERFECT MARRIAGE wasn't for you, I don't think you'll find anything different here.

Not much a thriller/mystery person usually but The Perfect Marriage was one of the books that really got me into reading again when it first came out so I knew I HAD to read the second one! It's like you kind of know how its going to end because of the first book but you don't know HOW it's going to get there and the whole book really leaves you wondering WILL it end up similarly. I really enjoyed all of the twists and turns along with the different POVS.

I love that there was a different voice actor for each POV too! I know that can be hard to do but this one was well done and each narrator did a great job. Overall I really enjoyed this audio!

Thank you NetGalley, Jeneva Rose, and Blackstone Publishing for gifting me a copy of this ALC in exchange for an honest review.

This audiobook is awesome! I really enjoy narrations with a full cast—it totally helps to keep track of all the different points of view. Sarah is such a genius, always ahead of the game, even when you think she’s not. I’m all for a strong female main character who doesn’t take any nonsense. Overall, this was a solid thriller!

Book Review: The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 stars)

The Perfect Divorce is a twisty, gripping sequel to The Perfect Marriage—and it absolutely delivered! From the very first chapter, I was hooked. The plot kept me guessing, the pacing was on point, and I loved how it tied up so many of the loose ends from the first book. It was one of those audiobooks I just couldn’t stop listening to! The narrator was amazing!!!

Huge thanks to Blackstone Publishing and Jeneva Rose for the early audiobook ARC. The Perfect Divorce hits shelves on April 15th and if you’re a fan of domestic thrillers, you won’t want to miss it!

I genuinely do not know how Jeneva does it, but somehow she’s topped herself yet again with The Perfect Divorce. I literally couldn’t put this book down, I cannot count the amount of times I just sat with my jaw on the floor! So elaborate, so intricate, so diabolical. Her best work yet!

What if you feel like your wife set up her ex-husband to take a fall for his mistress' death. Could she really be that horrible. Now she is remarried with your child and she wants a divorce. Your mistress has disappeared and the police are asking you questions. Bob doesn't know where to turn for help as his wife sets out to rune him. Sarah Morgan, our lawyer in The Perfect Marriage, is now back and just as devious as before.

As this one unfolds, you really do not know what is happening and it twists so many times that it is sometimes hard to keep up. This one keeps you guessing and with so many side stories that need to be told, it just keeps you going. I was given the audiobook and the narrators are awesome. So worth the read.

Thank you #NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for this incredible ARC in exchange for my honest review.

3.75🌟 (rounded up)
First off, shoutout to the adorable dedication! ☺️

Sarah Morgan is back, and she is not here to play. Strong, sassy, and seriously over Bob. (Ugh, Bob.)

Let’s talk about the vibe: If The Perfect Marriage was your kind of fun, you’re going to feel right at home with the sequel. It’s juicy, dramatic, and a thriller… but with a slightly playful energy. This isn’t your typical dark thriller. It felt more like a thriller sipping a Lemon Drop martini while giving you a side-eye.

Sarah’s narration had me thinking of Jeneva herself, no lie. I think it fit her perfectly.

Is it far-fetched? Probably. Did I care? Nope. Quick listen, never boring, and full of fun curveballs. Just don’t skip book one, this is not a standalone.

Read it if you love:
- Sassy, unbothered main characters
- Multiple POVs
- Twist-filled drama that doesn’t take itself too seriously
- A little messy fun

Not for you if:
- You need super realistic thrillers
- You didn’t enjoy book one
- Your name is Scott

My verdict? If you’re already a Jeneva Rose fan, this will likely hit the mark. If you didn’t vibe with book one, you might want to sit this one out.

It’s a yes for me! 🖤

When I saw there was a sequel to The Perfect Marriage I had to see how it was going to go!

I listened to the #audiobook and I thoroughly enjoyed the narration. It made the book so much more enjoyable, especially the narration of Detective Hudson.

It’s been 11 years since Sarah Morgan defended her husband, Adam in his murder trial. Sarah has long since moved on. She started a new family with her new husband, Bob Miller. She changed careers and her life has been exactly as she’s wanted it to be. Unfortunately, she discovered her new husband was unfaithful. She wasted no time filing for divorce.
In the middle of their ugly separation some new DNA evidence in her first husband’s murder investigation comes to light. It puts Sarah right back in the spotlight. Everyone wants to know what really happened. Especially former deputy Marcus Hudson. He is hell-bent on finding the truth.
Unfortunately, the mistress that Bob had slept with goes missing so things between Sarah and Bob get messy as they start fighting dirty. A cruel game of cat and mouse starts… Will it be the perfect divorce or til death do us part… again.

🔫 Alongside of loving the narration, I appreciated the fast pace of this book. It starts with a bang and just gets crazy. There’s a ton of twists and a lot of pieces you have to put together to figure out the ending. It is a little predictable but I kinda think it was done on purpose to distract from the real twist you don’t see coming. I freaking hate Sarah so much so the ending wasn’t my favorite😑

A dark and dramatic depiction of betrayal and revenge. This is the sequel to 'The Perfect Marriage' and wow this kept me guessing.

The audiobook has several fantastic narrators, including Mozahn Navabi, J.S. Arquin, Adam Lazarre-White, Brittany Pressley, Andi Arndt, and Andrew Eiden. The audiobook is very well done and if you enjoy a well-produced audiobook, with an unhinged storyline, then definitely give this one a listen!

With thanks to Blackstone Publishing and NetGalley for the audio listening copy, in exchange for a review.

I am keen to read what Jeneva Rose creates next!

Sarah Morgan is back, y’all! Thanks to Blackstone Publishjng and Netgalley for the audiobook ARC. I was super excited to get into The Perfect Divorce since TPM was the book that got me back into to reading. It started a little slow for me, but it definitely picked up as the story went on. Other than my feedback regarding the audiobook below, Jeneva, you’ve done it again! Great book. 🪿

*Note for audiobook - the narrator for Bob’s character was so difficult for me to listen to. I tried at regular speed and at double speed, and I could not wait until they stopped speaking. I’m not sure if this was intentional, but it affected my enjoyment of the audiobook. I would have preferred to read this one instead of listen.

A fantastic sequel to The Perfect Marriage, with twists and a darkness that rival the first book. Rarely does a sequel live up to the hype but this one definitely does! I always wonder if a book that is a "sequel" can be read without reading the first book, really this one does require you to read The Perfect Marriage first. It not only helps with the storyline but also the background of the characters that really enhances the story itself.

Sarah Morgan defended her husband, Adam, when he was accused of the brutal murder of his mistress. When new evidence arises 12 years later, Adam's guild is back in question, but unfortunately far too late. Sarah is now married to Bob, with that marriage on the rocks as well.

So many things are going on in this book, you really need a diagram to keep it all straight - connections between characters, plot twists, and timelines have you guessing the entire time! There were parts that I did have to go back and re-read/listen just to make sure I was connecting the pieces correctly, but that really shows the complexity of Jeneva Rose's writing and the genius that it took to put this all together! Twists upon twists, and just when I thought I knew where things were going, it twists even more. So fun! And these characters are dark - and I mean DARK.

I listened to the audiobook version and it was really good - multiple narrators made it easy to figure out which perspective was being told so it was easy to stay engaged and follow along.

Thank you to Blackstone Publishing and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review - out now!

This was a very entertaining read with great, unlikeable characters, twists, suspense, and a story that kept you guessing until the end. This wasn't a groundbreaking suspense thriller, but it had all the elements to make an enjoyable suspense thriller that I had trouble putting down. I liked the narrators in this one a lot.

Full of twists, turns, deceit, and revenge, this wickedly fun and delicious read will leave you wondering who will outwit whom. I urge you to read the first novel, The Perfect Marriage. It was very good, but this one—dare I say—is even more delicious than its predecessor.

Brief synopsis: We pick up 11 months after Adam was executed by the state and Sarah and Bob were married. It seems Sarah and Bob are divorcing because of Bob’s one-night stand. Sarah always felt Bob was temporary, and her trust has been broken once again. But this time, she’s not going to sit on her problem. Instead of killing him or setting him up for murder, she’ll just divorce him. Bob, knowing this, feels strongly that they still have a chance at marriage. As time passes, and his lawyer letting him know more about the Stacey Howard, the girl he slept with, he begins to question whether Sarah is setting him up in connection with Stacey, the now missing girl, reported by Stacey's friend and roommate. We watch Bob go down into this rabbit hole and he knows, he has to strike Sarah down. This time, there’s no bumbling, self-serving sheriff to help Sarah. There's a new sherrif in town and his name is Marcus Hudson. At the request of Bob Miller, Brad, his lawyer, dug up some the background on Stacey. It seems Stacey Howard isn’t so innocent herself.

Both Bob and Sarah have secrets on each other that could scorch the earth, but how far will they go? They’re both psychopaths who will stop at nothing to win. Just when you think you know who the true killer is, you’re taken for another ride.

The audiobook was exceptional, with a full cast of narrators providing unique voices, pacing, and expressiveness that truly brought all the characters to life. One word to fully describe this book: addictive.

I wish to thank NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing, Audiobooks, for this advanced audio copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

I LOVED this audio. I did listen to the perfect marriage right before to get the full experience and let me tell you The Perfect Divorce did not disappoint. I loved all the narrators.

Jeneva Rose always writes such intense thrillers! After reading and loving The Perfect Marriage, I couldn't wait to get stuck into this follow up book featuring attorney Sarah, who once again doesn't have any luck with her new husband Bob caught cheating on her. Filing for divorce, new evidence comes into light and Sarah is once again a public figure.

If you enjoy twisty thrillers that are hard to put down once you get started, these books are a must for you to read! This audiobook was expertly narrated with a clever cast that kept me entertained throughout. I hope we get to read more about Sarah and her adventures - maybe there's another book coming?

MUST READ THRILLER! Jeneva Rose is the queen of unexpected twists & drama! I ended up liking this book better than The Perfect Marriage which I really enjoyed! I am hoping there's a third book in this series! And the audiobook was phenomenal! Kept me engaged the entire time!

Amazing follow up to The Perfect Marriage, getting inside Sarah’s head was something I never knew I needed until reading this one. So good.

Jeneva Rose absolutely delivers in The Perfect Divorce, the gripping second installment in her series—and dare I say, it's even better than the first. This thriller is packed with jaw-dropping twists, sharp writing, and a storyline that keeps you guessing until the very last page.
From the very beginning, the pace is relentless. Rose masterfully builds suspense while deepening the characters we've already come to know, adding new layers and unexpected turns that will have your heart racing. Just when you think you’ve figured it all out, she pulls the rug right out from under you.
What sets The Perfect Divorce apart is how effortlessly it blends emotional depth with edge-of-your-seat intensity. The ending? Completely unexpected and brilliantly executed. You won’t see it coming—and that’s what makes it so satisfying.
If you thought the first book was good, prepare to be blown away. The Perfect Divorce is a must-read for thriller fans and anyone who loves a smart, twisty ride. Clear your schedule—you won't be able to put it down.

A sequel that is as good as the first book. Sarah is back again and as manipulative as ever. Thus book picks up right where the first one ends and is fully of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge. I liked the introduction of new characters and twists to the plot that keep me guessing till the end. I may like this more than the original.
