Jeneva Rose delivers a solid but not groundbreaking domestic thriller in The Perfect Divorce. The premise is intriguing—Sarah Morgan, a former high-powered attorney, finds herself entangled in yet another messy legal battle, this time with her soon-to-be ex-husband, Bob. As their divorce turns ugly, past secrets resurface, and new mysteries unfold, keeping the tension simmering.

The book offers entertaining twists and certain plot points are believable. Sarah is a strong lead, but some characters lack depth, making it hard to fully invest in their fates. The suspense is there, but it doesn’t always deliver the impact it promises.

Overall, The Perfect Divorce is a decent read with some engaging moments. A good pick for fans of domestic suspense. ⭐⭐⭐

I was looking forward to this sequel as I rated the first book very highly. However I felt lost a lot as characters were similarly named (Bob, Brad, Sarah, Stacy). There was a lot of back and forth with point of view which made it confusing as well. However I did not know where the book was going to end until the very end so that was good. I was invested to see what was happening and there were some surprises in there as well.

I hate giving Jeneva Rose a 3 star review because I really do usually love her books. This one didn’t land as well for me as her past reads.

It is still a fast paced suspenseful thriller, but I figured out the ending so early. Like many thrillers you also have to suspend belief and go with it. I don’t like how things were left for the daughter either. Will she be in a new book? I’m so curious about her character!

Overall, this one was just OK to me. Still enjoyed it though and I will definitely read her next one!

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐡 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐭 𝐲𝐞𝐭, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡.

I'll admit I didn't even read the synopsis, I step I rarely skip, but I was foaming at the mouth to read this book. I re-read TPM right before starting this, and while I wouldn't say it's necessary, it definitely helped me.

Eleven years have passed since powerful defense attorney Sarah Morgan defended her husband, Adam, who was charged with savagely murdering his mistress. Sarah has since changed careers, becoming the director of a non-profit organization, married her former co-worker Bob Miller, and had a daughter, whom she adores. Life is good...until it isn't. When history repeats itself and Bob cheats on Sarah, she immediately files for divorce.

Their separation quickly becomes acrimonious, and if that weren't enough, new DNA evidence is uncovered in Adam's case, forcing the police to reopen the investigation. Was everything really as cut and dried as it appeared?

Sarah is indeed a force to be reckoned with (can I be her when I grow up?) but she may have met her match. Someone knows exactly what happened with Adam's case, and they won't rest until Sarah is destroyed. Told from alternating points of view, including an unnamed narrator, this one will have you biting your nails until the shocking end. And DO NOT skip the author's notes at the end because there is a surprise announcement waiting for you! Thank you so much to Blackstone Publishing for my early copy. This book will publish April 15, 2025.

This book was soooo good!! I highly recommend reading the first book again before you start just to get a refresher though! Usually sequels can never come close to the first but this one had such a good twist as well! These books are my favorite!! Highly recommend for a good thriller! :)

The plot thickens for Sarah in book 2. Another mystery thriller diving into Sarah’s life ten years after her ex-husbands death, a new tale explores her life with her husband Bob and their child Summer. The disappearance of a new woman begins to unravel the past. The twists and turns don’t stop until the end.

This dark, mysterious, medium-paced book will keep you hooked start to finish! A great continuation to The Perfect Marriage.

This book is a fantastic sequel to The Perfect Marriage. It answers questions that were remaining from the first book and continues the story in a way that makes sense. The twists weren’t too predictable. I read the book in one sitting so I think it definitely captures your attention:

Thanks to NetGalley for my ARC

I think this is the book that has finally made me realize that Jeneva Rose is not the author for me. This one was too over the top and twisty for my taste. It began to feel ridiculous and completely unbelievable. Also, the detective/police procedural storyline took up a huge chunk of the book. I would've liked to read more about Sarah herself.

The Perfect Divorce was tantalizing! I could not put it down or figure out what was going to happen next. The reader is introduced to Sarah and Bob. A couple recently heading towards a divorce. In the mist of this, the past unfolds and secrets will be unveiled. It was a fast paced read!

In "The Perfect Divorce," a span of eleven years has elapsed since the accomplished attorney Sarah Morgan represented her husband, Adam, in a murder trial. Having reconstructed her life by marrying Bob Miller and embarking on a family journey, Sarah's stability is disrupted upon learning of Bob's infidelity, prompting her to initiate divorce proceedings. The situation intensifies when new DNA evidence resurfaces in Adam's case, compelling law enforcement to reopen the investigation and thrusting Sarah once again into the public eye, reigniting interest in the unresolved murder mystery.

As Sarah and Bob navigate a contentious divorce, the atmosphere becomes increasingly fraught when the woman with whom Bob was unfaithful mysteriously disappears.. The narrative unfolds with multiple layers of suspense, akin to a strategic chess match. The unexpected plot twists cannot be anticipated and continue to allow one to be engaged with the novel. I couldn’t put this book down. The character developments and emotional upheavals of all are also present throughout the novel. Prior expectations were surpassed and the pacing was spot-on. The storyline was complex and diverse. I didn’t see the end coming. Not only could I not put this book down, but I am yearning for more by this author. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance review copy in exchange for my review.

Do NOT get on the wrong side of Sarah Morgan!!! This was not my first Jeneva Rose read but unfortunately it didn’t land as well for me as it appears to have for most readers. Yes, it was suspenseful, yes it was fast-moving but I found it predictable and oh so dark with a large side of disbelief. I really worry about the mental health of Sarah’s daughter and wondering if Jeneva Rose has plans for her….This was just an “ok” read for me. Thank you to Jeneva Rose, NetGalley, and Blackstone publishing for the chance to read an advanced copy of The Perfect Divorce. No doubt this book will have great success - it just wasn’t for me.

Just finished this ARC read and OMG. So many mysteries, so many crimes, but who did it?? 😱 If you haven’t read The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose yet, you have to read that one before The Perfect Divorce releases in April! 📚💥 The suspense in this book is unreal—every twist and turn kept me guessing! Expect secrets, lies, and jaw-dropping revelations. You won’t be able to put it down! 💯

I loved The Perfect Marriage and find Jeneva absolutely delightful on social media. I was nervous that The Perfect Divorce would not live up to my own expectations but that was in vain. The Perfect Divorce not only lived up to my expectations but exceeded them. This story went partially where I expected it to but also kept me guessing and surprised me multiple times. Sarah Morgan is in top form and watching her plans unfold is quite thrilling. The story moves along at a nice pace and kept me engaged the entire time. Definitely recommend reading this book, especially if you enjoyed the first book.

Ok…. This book was insane.

I was so excited and was so sure it would not be as good as The Perfect Marriage ( 2nd book is never as good)….. but Wowzer.

Finished this book in one day. It had me from the moment I started. Jeneva’s writing style is so easy to follow and read.
I would not cross that Sarah Miller. That’s all I am saying. :)

If you are looking for a great book that keeps you guessing til the very end with twist after twist this is IT. .

In my Top 5 of all time favorite books!!! ( The Perfect Marriage is my #1)

WOW! Jeneva Rose seamlessly continues with this sequel to 'The Perfect Marriage.' It had been some time since I had read the first in this series, so I went back and read the last few chapters to familiarize myself as to how it ended. 'The Perfect Divorce' picks up right where we left off. I found the characters engaging, the plot mysterious and suspenseful, and I was left with how did she do it again!?! I love a thriller that I cannot figure out who the killer is until the end... and to my joy and surprise, in the acknowledgements, Ms. Rose indicates that there will be a third in the series! I thoroughly enjoyed 'The Perfect Divorce' and look forward to reading more by Jeneva Rose. Thank you for the opportunity to pre-read and review!

The perfect follow on from The Perfect Marriage and with the mention of a third book in the acknowledgements… I can’t wait!!

3.5 Stars
This was a quick and fun sequel. It included all the twists and turns (some I guessed, others I didn't) I've come to expect from Jeneva Rose. Sarah, Bob, and even their daughter at times, were insufferable and yet I find myself rooting for them. (Well, except for Bob, I never rooted for him). The side characters (Hi, Alejandro) along with their storylines were interesting enough for their own book.
All around a good time. If you loved the first, you’ll love the second. Things have not calmed down for Sarah Morgan.
Sidenote: Make sure to read the acknowledgments. 🙂
