One word: SAVAGE! This sequel is even better than the first!

*I definitely recommend reading THE PERFECT MARRIAGE before diving into THE PERFECT DIVORCE.*

Eleven years ago, Sarah Morgan defended her husband, Adam, on charges of capital murder for killing his mistress. She has moved on with her new husband, Bob and their daughter Summer. She no longer defends criminals, instead revelling in her nonprofit, which gives second chances to people charged with felonies. Life is good. Until it's not. When Sarah discovers that Bob had a one-night stand, she immediately files for divorce. But at the same time, new DNA evidence in Adam's long-gone case comes to light, reopening the investigation and thrusting Sarah back into the mess. When Bob's mistress is reported missing, things get EVEN messier and all gloves are off. Will they survive the divorce or will it be "til death do us part"?

Now this is how you do a sequel...with guns blazing!! With so many addicting twists, THE PERFECT DIVORCE is the perfect page-turning thriller. I knew to expect SHOCKING and malicious moments, but just when I thought I had it all figured out (I did have ONE part), Jeneva pummels you with more dark, vicious turns. Sarah is a force to be reckoned with and I LOVE her, even when I should be low-key hating her. Fast-paced and HELLA entertaining, I promise you'll DEVOUR the chaos!

And because inquiring minds NEED to know - will there be a third installment??

just as many twists as the perfect marriage! i did read a recap of the perfect marriage before starting this one since it’s been so long, and i think that helped me remember the characters better. i thought some of the twists were a little too convenient, but it was a fun story and a great way to pick up where the perfect marriage left off!

While the first one was a little meh but enjoyable, I certainly appreciated the twists and turns it took. Which leads me to this, the sequel…

Now that I KNEW what to look for, some stuff I STILL didn’t see coming. Sarah Morgan is one smart woman, and that’s all I can say without spoilers. The writing style followed the first one, and I already knew to be on my A-game with this chick. There was one scene that I knew wasn’t going to end how it was alluded, but besides some predictable things, I actually really liked this book.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

Sarah has moved on. It’s been 11 years since she defended her husband Adam for killing his mistress. She is remarried and her life is on track. When she finds out Bob had a one-night-stand however, Sarah files for divorce right away. When his one night stand goes missing, and new evidence comes out on Adams case, chaos ensues.

This is the sequel to The Perfect Marriage and it did not disappoint! Jeneva Rose has a pretty dark and twisted brain, but thats why we love her! As messed up as everything is you somehow find yourself rooting for everyone? There were so many unexpected twists I had trouble keeping track at times, but this was the perfect part two! I did this one on audio and really enjoyed it!

Thank you to @blackstonepublishing for my gifted copy of this book!

5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Whoa! I thought I loved the first book in the series - A Perfect Marriage - then Jeneva Rose comes out with this highly entertaining, unputdownable sequel. Ms. Rose - you have outdone yourself with this one! Bravo!

This book was so ridiculously good! As you can tell, I thought it was even better than the first. Dark, fast paced with constant twists that kept me on the edge of my seat. Sarah is one savage character and I’m here for it!

I highly recommend reading The Perfect Marriage before reading this one. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for my advanced copy to read and review.

So thankful for the opportunity to read an early copy of the perfect divorce! The perfect marriage is one of my all time favorite books and this lived up to the hype!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, just as much as I did the perfect marriage! The twists I found this time weren’t as shocking as they were the last time I read one. Perhaps it’s because I read the perfect marriage just before this one, unlike some readers who read it months before. Regardless, I still enjoyed this one. Another one you’ll have a hard time putting down. I liked how this one tied up loose ends from the first ones if you’re looking for a good, diabolical, twisted, and dark story. This is definitely one for you. Grab both of them before you go on vacation this year. You won’t be disappointed.

FIVE FREAKING STARS for this book!
⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was lucky enough to get an early copy of this book and WOW! It left me thinking that Jeneva Rose has a very scary mind and I wouldn’t want to get on her bad side! 😂 just kidding, sorta. Thank you to @blackstonepublishing @jenevaroseauthor and @netgalley

If you thought The Perfect Marriage was amazing, you have something to look forward to with this book! It’s even better if that’s possible!!!! I lost a lot of sleep trying to finish this book and it was worth it!!! I’ll update with a review once the book has been published but here’s the synopsis.

< The Perfect Divorce Synopsis >

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?

After discovering Bob engaged in a one-night stand, Sarah wastes no time filing for divorce. However, amid their ugly separation, new DNA evidence is uncovered in the case against Adam, forcing the police to reopen the investigation and putting Sarah right back in the spotlight. Everyone wants to know what really happened, most of all former Deputy Hudson, who is hell-bent on finding the truth.

But when the woman Bob slept with is reported missing, he and Sarah start to fight dirty, and a high-stakes game of cat and mouse ensues. Filled with page-turning suspense and Jeneva Rose’s signature twists and turns, this sequel will have readers wondering: Can Bob and Sarah achieve the perfect divorce?

Jeneva Rose is an auto-buy author for me. I absolutely love her books so I was absolutely thrilled to receive an ARC! I will be honest, I was worried about the "sequel slump," where the second book is nowhere near as great as the first book in the series. And I can happily say that "The Perfect Divorce" is not a victim of the sequel slump! I could not stop reading it and loved all the twists and turns. 5 stars for me! Great job Mama Goose!

The Perfect Divorce is absolutely phenomenal. It is fast paced, heart-pounding, twisty, and excellently plotted. It will keep you guessing at what is really going on and will serve you with plot twists you didn’t see coming. The multiple POVs really keeps you hooked and eager to find out what happens next. With a satisfying ending and complex characters this book will have you thinking about it for days after you’ve finished it.

*"The Perfect Divorce"* by Jeneva Rose is a brilliantly twisty and cleverly written psychological thriller that keeps you guessing until the very last page. The story follows a seemingly amicable divorce between the main characters, but as secrets unravel, it becomes clear that nothing is as simple as it seems. Rose masterfully weaves in unexpected twists, making you question every character’s true intentions. Just when you think you have it all figured out, another shocking revelation throws everything into question. It's a smart, fast-paced read with plenty of surprises, perfect for anyone who loves a thriller that keeps them on their toes!

I received an advanced reader’s copy of The Perfect Divorce from Blackstone Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, and here are my thoughts:

Wow! Jeneva Rose has done it again. I finished The Perfect Divorce feeling a whirlwind of emotions, and the frustration I felt was not what I expected (even though the first book, The Perfect Marriage, really got to me as well). This book was a five-star read because it evoked such strong feelings and kept me hooked—I couldn’t put it down, desperately wanting to know how it would all unfold.

The Perfect Divorce centers on Sarah Morgan and her second husband, Bob Miller. It quickly becomes apparent that Sarah struggles to make her marriages work, and this story delves into the messy, complicated realities of divorce. As the characters are pushed to their limits, their true selves are revealed, showing how intense pressure can drive people to act in ways they never anticipated.

I was so excited to hear of a sequel to The Perfect Marriage. Jeneva did not disappoint. Will Sarah's secrets be revealed? Is her estranged husband hiding a very dark secret? I loved every moment.

Holy crap, she's at it again! Sarah Morgan is back and better than ever. Picking up where The Perfect Marriage left off, there are so many twists and turns and shady characters that you don't know who you can trust and you really have no idea if you can root for anyone to survive! Wild ride!

I wasn't sure how a sequel to The Perfect Marriage would work but it was fantastic! I really loved everything about this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat. the pace was great. The characters were well-developed. The tie-in to the original was on point. Highly recommend.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this arc.

All I can say is DAMN!!!! This book was by far the best sequel I have ever read. All these twists I didn't know which way it was going to go. Great work Jeneva Rose can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve.

Jeneva Rose knows how to write a perfect revenge story. The twisty turns made you think you knew what was coming next but it’s never what it seems.
Sarah Morgan is the ultimate example of a strong woman who is willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants. It seems as though she may have met her match when her divorce becomes bitter from her second husband, Bob Miller. Reading The Perfect Marriage is a must in order to really grasp the lengths Sarah is willing to go to and just how determined she can be. But will Bob be her second victim or will he finally be one step ahead of THE Sarah Morgan?
Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read Jeneva’s highly anticipated sequel. Happy Reading, Silly Gaggle!

Sarah Morgan has remarried and started a new family. When she finds out her husband, Bob, had a one night stand, she files immediately for divorce. Then Bob’s mistress disappears.

I really wish I had reread The Perfect Marriage before this one! It’s been a while and I didn’t remember a lot. I would reread it if it’s been a while. Sarah’s character is great in this. It’s fast paced and very suspenseful. Theres a lot of investigative procedure in this one, as one of the chapters is the Sheriff. If you loved the first book, you’ll want to read this one.

“Most of us have never had to make a choice between life and death. But I can tell you, once you do, once you’re forced to make that choice, it changes you forever.”

The Perfect Divorce comes out 4/15.

This is a REALLY good sequel!!!
I was able to figure out one of the twists early on, but it still held my attention and I flew through this one. Really enjoy Jeneva's storytelling and pacing with her thrillers!

I was thrilled to see a second story in the series, and once I started reading I was equally happy with myself for rereading The Perfect Marriage in preparation!

I would 100% recommend reading TPM first so that you can go into this one understanding who these characters are, what they have done, and what their motivations may be. This one picks up not long after TPM ended, and once again Sarah Morgan is having marriage problems. Her second marriage is about to end in divorce, but outside events start happening to shake everything up.

Sarah is such a devious and calculated character, one who I both can't stand but find horrifically entertaining. Her inner monologue made me laugh multiple times with her droll commentary about the other characters. Her interaction with her former MIL in particular had me cackling as these two terrible characters faced off.

The mystery at the heart of the story has plenty of twists and turns, with multiple storylines needing to come together in the end. It is darkly entertaining, and if you loved TPM you'll love this one too.

Thank you to Blackstone for the ARC.
