This was one of those rare occasions when the sequel was better than the first. Not only was this better written, but this was also better researched (take that, Scott) and highly addictive. The protagonist is a seriously flawed but somehow likable person and whip smart to boot. This was a narcissistic cat and mouse chase full of secrets and lies at every turn. The pacing was pristine, and there wasn't a dull moment. Four stars.

Thank you to Netgalley and Blackstone Publishing for this ARC.

Huge thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for an early copy of this book in exchange for a review. 😊 I went into this book thinking The Perfect Marriage didn’t need a sequel… But now I’m glad it got one! I felt like this really built on what was established in the first book… and set us up for a third 👀. This was twisty.. manipulative.. and full of people trying to outsmart eachother. The characters aren’t great people… but you can’t help but be drawn to the schemes and crimes they’ll commit next. I was entertained by this and enjoyed myself throughout. A good read for mystery/thriller lovers 😊.

The story kept me on the edge of my seat, but the ending was predictable. I had to overlook some unrealistic elements, but overall, it was a decent read.

Absolutely LOVED this book ! It was everything I could ask for. Highly recommend reading if you loved The Perfect Marriage.

Jeneva Rose! You remarkable human! The Perfect Marriage was simply amazing! The Perfect Divorce is a true masterpiece!
The whole book flowed so smoothly, & even combining the stories from the two books to answer all the unanswered questions! Sarah Morgan or Jeneva Rose is a genius! & ALWAYS two steps ahead! Thank you Jeneva & publisher for the advanced unedited copy! Was still SO good!! & the acknowledgements are glorious!

I thought The Perfect Marriage was good but The Perfect Divorce, I have no words for this. The twist and turns, the deceit and betrayal, it is all here and even better than the first. Defiantly one of my favorite reads so far for 2025.

I got an advanced cop of this book from NetGalley.

I loved Perfect Marriage. It was one of my fave books of 2024. Before starting Perfect Divorce, I listened to the audio version of Marriage for a refresher, and I’m really glad I did. There are a lot of reference in this new book and you’ll definitely want to be able to place them.

While I liked Divorce, I didn’t love it like I did Marriage. There’s a lot of different story lines going on at the same time and at points it was hard to follow with all the jumping around. Some of Divorce seemed far fetched and unrealistic. There was also a lot of lead up to the unwinding of it all, with some of it being pretty predictable and figure out able. It’s definitely worth reading if you loved Marriage and want to know more of the characters’ story. I just don’t think it’s as good.

Jeneva Rose is fast becoming one of the biggest names in thrillers and suspense and this book, the sequel to maybe her most popular book, The Perfect Marriage, should only add to that. Rose has a very easy to get into writing style and the pages certainly fly by as you are wanting to uncover this new mystery. While it is not required to have read the first book as there are a number of recap moments in this one, it definitely helps in getting into the story as it is visiting characters that have already been established very well. This is definitely a beach read, and while it doesn't break new thriller ground or stray from the well known formulas of the genre, it is fun, it is entertaining and it definitely thrills.

Loved!!! So good!! Lots of twists and turns!! Great follow up to the perfect marriage! Really enjoy jeneva rose!! Thought it was well written….

THE PERFECT DIVORCE was a fast-paced follow up to THE PERFECT MARRIAGE, which I highly recommend a re-read of before diving into this one. The story takes multiple twists and turns and while it veered on unbelievable at times, was still super entertaining and easy to read.

Thanks to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for the opportunity to read and review THE PERFECT DIVORCE.

WOW...JENEVA ROSE DID IT AGAIN! I'm sad it took me so long to read, 'The Perfect Marriage', but was ECSTATIC to be given the opportunity by NetGalley to review, 'The Perfect Divorce' shortly after reading book one. I was a little leary at first, because sequels can sometimes miss for me, but this one may have actually outdone the first one. I don't know, though I loved them both! Side note: when you read this one, be sure to read the acknowledgments at the end *so excited!*

Jeneva Rose's sequel to "The Perfect Marriage" masterfully escalates the tension as Sarah Morgan's seemingly perfect life crumbles upon discovering her husband's infidelity. As old wounds resurface with the reopening of her first husband's murder case and new DNA evidence, the narrative spins into a riveting game of deception and desperation. Rose's signature twists keep readers on the edge of their seats, propelling Sarah into a battle not just for her marriage but for her life. This thriller, laden with suspense, invites readers to ponder the lengths people go to in pursuit of a 'perfect' resolution, making it a captivating addition to the original story.

Rated: 2/5

I had a really tough time getting into this book. I really enjoyed The Perfect Marriage, but The Perfect Divorce did not live up to my expectations. The plot did not get interesting for me until about 70% in, and the twists were too predictable. There was not enough focus on the darker elements of the book and little suspense for this to read as a thriller for me.

Sarah Morgan is back at it again and not going to lie, I'm here for it! While I'm still not over how she was allowed to represent her husband in the first book, this book was just as good if I kept the same mindset of looking for a good time, not a "everything has to make sense" time. Bonus points for having this book get me out of a reading slump too!

FIRST THING FIRST - The acknowledgments?!? I am sat.

I was unsure about a sequel to the perfect marriage but I was definitely intrigued. It was executed so much better than I had imagined. Sarah is such a disturbingly captivating character, you truly don’t ever know what she has up her sleeve. I need to get a lot more answers from the Scott summers situation but once I read the note, I let that slide. These stories are so twisted and engaging from start to finish. Although the we’ve of deceit is twisted and convoluted, Rose has a way of writing them that is extremely easy to follow. Yes, they’re over the top and unrealistic but they’re GOOD. Everyone needs popcorn thriller in their life and this hits the spot perfectly.

4.5 stars but I'll round it up to 5.

Thank you netgalley for the advance ebook copy of The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose.

What can I say? Mind blown. Somehow The Perfect Divorce is even better than the first book (The Perfect Marriage). How is that possible?!?

Prepare to have you're mind blown by the twists.

First of all, that tagline is so good and it immediately caught my attention, I just love it. This is the second in a series and I do think it’s important to read the first book before starting this one. I didn’t remember the details so I found some spoiler reviews lol as a refresher and that worked well for me. The pacing here was fantastic, things moved rapidly right from the start and there was SO much going on here it left my head spinning at times. Not in a bad way, I just really had to focus and stay on my toes because there were so many different plot threads. There were twists galore as well, I lost count of how many and they were all really fun and mostly surprising. Overall a really strong follow up to a book I know so many of you loved, and don’t miss the acknowledgments at the end!

It's often said a sequel to a book is not as good as the original, but Holy Heaven!!! The Perfect Divorce in my opinion is better than The Perfect Marriage! Jeneva Rose did not disappoint with this absolutely diabolical part two to Sarah Morgan's story.

Fast forward and Sarah Morgan is at it again...or should we say still. The twists keep coming, each one more shocking than the last. You think you know where this is headed but then BAM!! It takes a totally different direction. As soon as I could catch my breath I was gasping again. This was one fun, twisty ride I never wanted to end. As with the first, the writing is captivating and draws you right in. Short chapters and a smooth flow of writing make this binge worthy. I highly recommend this but suggest reading the Perfect Marriage first to get the full effect of Sarah Morgan's scheming persona.

Thanks to Netgalley and Blackstone Publishing for the advanced copy

I can't believe it but the sequel was even better than the first!! Thank you Jeneva and NetGalley for the ARC!

The perfect follow up to the perfect marriage. Deliciously messy, murder, in a small town, crime cover ups and the messy divorce of two lawyers who are at the center of town scrutiny. I devoured this book. The multiple povs made it such a fast read.
