Honestly, I wish I had re-read book one before diving into this, but when NetGalley sends you an early copy, you go for it! 😆 And WOW—this book did not disappoint!

The plot twist🌀at the end was Perfection. 🤯 I was shook! Jeneva Rose has this insane ability to weave so many details into her stories 📖 that make everything feel so real. I did think there were a few too many POVs, but somehow, I managed to keep up. 🏃‍♀️📚

At this point, I don’t think I’ve ever read a book of hers that I didn’t love. She always delivers the drama, the suspense, and plenty of plot twists! 👏💀🔥

This was a new experience for me, I had the privilege of listening to an advanced audiobook release, and I was pleasantly surprised.

The narrators really helped bring this story to life. I was fully engaged in the storytelling and invested in the conclusion.

This mystery has certainly opened my mind to what a good plot build up can achieve. Even when I thought I had the ending all figured out, I wasn't completely right. At the end of the day, a good mystery keeps you guessing.

Loved it, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good whodunnit!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Even without having read the first book, the story felt fresh and engaging. The pacing was excellent, and the audiobook format, with multiple narrators, made it even more immersive. Bob, despite his flaws, turned out to be my favorite character—his unlikable charm kept me invested in his storyline. Sarah’s complexity added even more depth, making every twist and turn even more compelling. While there were a couple of minor plot holes, they didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment.

This book was so good! I read this right after reading the perfect marriage. I feel like it could be a standalone however it definitely picks up from the first. And by reading the first, you definitely had a good understanding of all of the characters. I could not put this book down. It was very good. The audiobook was amazing and I loved all of the narrators.

The sequel is never better than the original, but in this case, IT IS. I am obsessed with this book. I absolutely ate it up. I just want this series to keep going on forever, because it is such an easy read with the best twists.

Really well done! The Perfect Divorce was the perfect sequel to The Perfect Marriage. The pacing, multiple points of view, and the audio narrators, readers and fans of Jeneva Rose will not be disappointed.

I enjoyed this a lot! I was immediately drawn in and while some parts were a bit predictable, I was still trying to guess the twists the entire time. I finished it in 3 days because I just couldn’t stop listening.

Sometimes I have trouble following an audiobook when there are many POVs and I struggled a little to track all the characters and relationships at the beginning (though I think that’s a me problem, not the book). But once I was into the story it got easier, which in turn made me enjoy the book more.

Thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing - Audiobooks for the ARC! This was my first audiobook ARC and it was so much fun to get to listen early!

I was really looking forward to The Perfect Divorce after loving The Perfect Marriage, and it didn’t disappoint! It had the same twisty, unpredictable style that kept me hooked. This time, I knew better than to trust the two main characters, but there were still surprises I didn’t see coming. A fun, quick, and easy read! Thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for providing me with this ARC.

Congratulations, Jeneva Rose, for another razor-sharp domestic thriller. The Perfect Divorce is the perfect sequel to The Perfect Marriage. Poor Bob. He never stood a chance against Sarah's clever, devious ways. Dare I beg Ms. Rose for a sequel to this sequel?

Jenna Rose is a favorite of mine for thrillers and mysteries. This one didn’t disappoint. The ending was wild and I kept trying to guess what was happening through. The narrators were excellent. Highly recommend.

Wow I genuinely really enjoyed this! The full cast of narrators made for a great listening experience. Jeneva Rose’s mastermind really came out for this one, once the reveal happened I was shocked at how many clues there were along the way that I missed. I love twists like that!

“Till death do us part. Yours. Not mine.”

Did we need a sequel to “The Perfect Marriage”? Maybe not. Did I preorder the special collector’s edition months in advance and stay up all night reading an ARC? Absolutely! I am a die-hard Jeneva Rose fan, and I will read anything she writes. When I received this ARC, I dropped everything I was doing so I could read it. “The Perfect Divorce” is another mind-blowing, pulse-pounding thriller. I faced the ultimate reader’s dilemma of wanting to take my time to enjoy the book or to binge it to find out what happened next. Ultimately, I just couldn’t put it down. I did guess a couple of twists, but the others I absolutely did not see coming. I’m still a little shocked! It’s really hard for a book to live up to “The Perfect Marriage,” but this book was a fun and exciting sequel. I’m so glad we got more of Sarah Morgan’s story, and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Thank you to Jeneva Rose and Blackstone Publishing for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

LOVED this one! After reading some reviews of The Perfect Divorce and it seems I'm in the minority in saying that I still love The Perfect Marriage more, but this was such an enjoyable sequel. I finished it in 2 days. The Perfect Divorce is the perfect popcorn thriller... far fetched and bat shit crazy, but I just ATE IT ALL UP! Highly entertaining and I give it 5 stars, just like book one. If you enjoyed The Perfect Marriage or even felt meh about that one, I would still recommend picking up The Perfect Divorce because 1) I loved it and 2) the general consensus is that it's even better!

This is a psychological thriller with a sharp, suspenseful edge, unreliable narrators and shocking revelations!

The story revolves around high-powered divorce attorney, Sarah Morgan and many others. I feel several things from the first book get summed up a little better in this one.

I gave the first book 3.5 stars but this one was so much better . Dark and twisty and full of surprises! The Perfect Divorce delivers a binge-worthy read. I loved the narration of the audiobook!

She knocked it out of the park once again. It's official I am convinced that Jeneva Roae does not know how to write a bad novel. I have been a fan of her work for years and when I learned she was going to create a sequel to her first novel the one I drooled over and finished in hours I knew it was going to be a anticipated read. This had everything I love how much I love and despise our main character. Sarah Morgan is many things a wife a mother a killer but she is most importantly a woman you shouod never cheat on and she knows how to plot better then anyone. I loved how thia story unfolded from all the perspectives. The new sheriff who was only a deputy in the first novel. Sarah herself the soon to be ex husband it added so many layers to this story. I loved the twists ND turns and how devious and manipulative all of it was. I actually found myself slow clapping as if I was watching a film because how this novel unfolded was a art plane and simple. I could not put this book down and the moments I had to ( I'm a mom so sadly the book did have to go down sometimes) I was thinking about it and wondering what would happen next when I picked it back up. This was a thrilling blast and Rollercoaster that I recommend everyone gets on. This had fantastic writing a villian you can't help but root for and twists that kill.

Jaw-meet-floor!!! What a fun ride this book was! I feel so lucky to have gotten the audiobook of The Perfect Divorce as an ARC from NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing in exchange for my honest opinion. And let me tell you—I could not stop listening!

Jeneva Rose is back with the sequel to The Perfect Marriage, and she did not hold back. It’s been eleven years since Sarah Morgan’s life was turned upside down, and just when she thought she had moved on, chaos comes knocking again. Her new husband, Bob, has been cheating (ugh, men!), and their divorce is anything but amicable. Meanwhile, fresh DNA evidence resurfaces, dragging her ex-husband, Adam, right back into the spotlight. And if that’s not enough? A woman goes missing, and suddenly, Sarah is once again in the middle of a case that could destroy her.

The audiobook was chef’s kiss! With a full cast—including Mozhan Navabi, J.S. Arquin, Brittany Pressley, Andi Arndt, Andrew Eiden, and Adam Lazarre-White—it felt like I was listening to a high-stakes drama unfold in real time. The tension? Through the roof. The pacing? Absolutely flawless. I was hooked from start to finish.

The ending is plain diabolical! I just loved it!

If you loved The Perfect Marriage, you’re going to eat this one up. It’s out on April 15, 2025—so mark your calendars, because this is one thriller you don’t want to miss!

Just trust me the sequel and wait is worth it!

Thank you for my advance listener copy!

3.75/5 stars rounded up.

I read The Perfect Marriage a few years ago and loved that book. While I thought this one was still enjoyable, I also felt that it was unnecessary and wasn't as good as the first one. I honestly didn't feel like The Perfect Marriage needed a sequel but I'm also not mad to have gotten one.

This is pretty fast-paced and action-packed from the start with a strong FMC. The story was incredibly exaggerated and was extremely far-fetched yet it was entertaining. Sarah, the main character, almost feels like Amy from Gone Girl. At least it feels like Amy could've been the inspiration.

While Sarah isn't exactly "likable" she's also the only character that I did enjoy in this and I constantly find myself cheering her on. If you can look past the outlandish plot of this book, it is an enjoyable read. If you're looking for something more realistic and believable, this is definitely not the book for you.

If you grab the audiobook for this story, the narrator did a fantastic job. I would really love to listen to this story while reading along in the physical copy once this book releases.

I think I liked this better than the first? Which is wild for a sequel to a thriller! That’s hard to pull off! The premise was unique and captivated me from the first chapter. This was super fast paced and I liked the narrators. I finished it in a day! Very twisty and worth reading if you read the first book! I also love the special editions she released! I already preordered this and can’t wait to put it on my shelf next to The Perfect Marriage!
