WOW! Finishing The Perfect Divorce feIt like stepping off of a roller coaster I didn't want to end. My head is still spinning from the twists and turns in this novel. Jeneva Rose is officialy an author I'll be following from now on. Even though I hadn't read her first novel The Perfect Marriage beforehand, I had no trouble following along in this story. This novel stood strong for me on its own with enough cues to enjoy Rose's second (hopefully there will be another) in the series. I won't spoil a thing, but if you're looking for a fast-paced, unpredictable, page-turning story this one will absolutely keep you hooked to the end.
Thank you NetGalley and Jeneva Rose for the advanced reading copy in exchange for my honest review.

This book was so amazing. It had me on the edge of my set tge whole. I was constantly guessing who the killer was and how it was all going to play out. I am so looking forward to her next book. I loved how this picked up years later after the first one. Nothing was lost.

The Perfect Divorce was a really fun time. I will say that it didn't quite have (for me!) the same zing as the first one, but all the same, it was good to be in this 'world' with familiar characters again!

I had a good time!

3.5/5.0

The Perfect Divorce, the second book in Jenny Rose’s Perfect series, is a gripping and dark tale of betrayal and revenge. I listened to it on audio, with multiple narrators that brought the story to life. This sequel to ‘The Perfect Marriage’ kept me guessing until the end.

Great sequel to one of my favorite books. Narrator was not my favorite and I felt didnt do the book justice but the book was good.

2.5⭐️

It just didn't work for me. There was no real plot twist or super dramatic anything. The pacing was a bit too slow for me and I was highly considering DNFing at like 70%.

It just felt like I was pushing myself to read it to get to the big reveal and then there wasn't any reveal that truly shocked me.

Spice: 4: open door scenes, crass sexual language, innuendos.

Language: Heavy cussing, Lord's name in vain,crass dialogue.

Warnings: Murder,kidnappings, abuse

Thanks to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for the digital copy of this audiobook; I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Shout out to the author, Jeneva Rose, who is originally from Wisconsin!

Mad props to Blackstone Publishing for a full cast of narrators, including the always excellent Brittany Pressley; the various voices helped because of the multiple POV. I had not read the first book in this series, The Perfect Marriage, but this book can stand on its own. I was brought quickly up-to-speed that Sarah, the main character, was a very manipulative person.

There are too many plot twists to count but suffice it to say you could guess the trajectory of the story and be very wrong. Weaving all these POV and subplots together was done perfectly. It’s been a long time since I’ve thoroughly been stumped on the direction of a book. Jeneva Rose has conducted a master class of writing a psychological thriller that keeps you guessing.

I’d definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery/thriller!

Thank you to Blackstone Publishing an Netgalley for the free arc in exchange for an honest review.

This book was somehow the perfect thrillers and yet….it left no impact. This is not because it’s not well written, because it is, but because even the most shocking twists are almost expected within the genre. For the majority often title nothin unique seems to happen but, while it is incredibly rushed, the large twist at the end was shocking.

Most of the book simply fades into the background other than the ending and lacks the punch of the first novel.

Thank you for the #gifted ALC @blackstonepublishing Obviously I had to purchase a physical copy for my shelves. Solid 4.5
‌
I knew this was going to be amazing when near the beginning of the book, Sarah’s assistant says “Why are men?” Full stop. No explanation needed. This is a frequently used phrase with some friends. You know who you are!
‌
I loved The Perfect Marriage, but dare I say, I might have loved this one even more. I’m a sucker for a story full of unreliable, unlikeable characters, and this book delivers on that in the best way.
‌
The story follows Sarah who in The Perfect Marriage represents her husband when he is accused of killing his mistress. He has now been executed after his conviction, and Sarah has moved on with life. She remarries fellow attorney Bob Miller and they have a daughter together. When she catches Bob cheating on her, things unravel quickly. Sarah does not mess around and files for divorce, wanting full custody of their daughter, Summer. Bob isn’t letting her win. What follows is a twisted battle, with Bob going to disturbing lengths to turn the tables. He puts all his efforts into trying to get Sarah convicted of Kelly Summers’ murder, the woman her ex was convicted of killing..
‌
Among all of this, women are disappearing who have a connection to Bob. The ex-sheriff, who arrested Adam for his mistress’ murder, hits someone with his car, attempts suicide in jail, and then ends up murdered himself. This book is filled with chaos and I am here for it!
‌
I could not stop with this one and there were twists and turns right up until the very end.
‌
The audio narration comprised of Mozahn Navabi, J.S. Arquin, Adam Lazarre- White, Brittany Pressley, Andi Arndt, and Andrew Eiden, did an absolutely amazing job of bringing Sarah, Bob and others to life.

This was a great sequel. I really enjoyed the story. I didn’t see the plot twist coming but it was a great one. Wishing for a continuation to the story.

The Perfect Divorce will be enjoyed by many readers. It is fast-paced, has twists and turns, and showcases humanity at their worst. However, this is a Jeneva Rose novel, which means it's easy, if you've read her other books, to know exactly what's coming. This novel felt a little like Rose was phoning it in.

The Perfect Divorce is a great suspense read. It kept me hooked from the begining. I learned about Jeneva from her IG Reels about sneaking into bookstores and loved her vibed. So I started reading her books and I am so glad I did. This is a sequel so be sure to read the perfect marriage before picking this one up. This has a mutlicast with some of my faves! The audio is top tier! I didn't want it to end. Thank you Netgalley and Blackstone Publishing for the ALC.

The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose is an absolute triumph. If you thought The Perfect Marriage was gripping, just wait until you dive into this one. Jeneva takes everything that made the first book so good — the suspense, the layered characters, the emotional twists — and somehow turns the dial up even higher. I would easily give this audiobook a full 5 out of 5 stars without hesitation.

The narration in this audiobook is outstanding. Each character’s voice fits so perfectly with their background and personality that it’s easy to forget you’re listening to actors. The performances really bring the story to life in a way that pulls you deeper into the chaos and tension. It’s rare to find an audiobook where the voices not only sound right, but actually add to the psychological depth of the characters.

As for the story itself — it’s twisted in all the best ways. Just when I thought I had figured it out, another turn completely blindsided me. The pacing is fast, the tension is high, and every chapter left me wanting more. It’s the kind of story that keeps you up late, telling yourself “just one more chapter” until suddenly it’s 2 a.m.

I’m incredibly excited to see what Jeneva Rose writes next. Her talent for building suspense and creating complex, believable characters is truly something special. A huge thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for providing me with an advanced listener copy — this was an unforgettable ride.

The flow of the story worked well. Lots of perspectives so really had to pay attention although one twist I figured out early on. The main characters are very unlikable but kept going because of the plot.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 Stars (Excellent)
Setting: Modern Day Suburban America
Genre: Psychological Thriller; Domestic Suspense

Jeneva Rose delivers another thrilling ride with The Perfect Divorce, a fast-paced, twisty tale of betrayal, secrets, and the fallout of a marriage gone terribly wrong. Eleven years after defending her then-husband Adam against murder charges, Sarah Morgan—now a former high-powered attorney turned suburban wife and mother—finds her carefully reconstructed life crumbling once more. After catching her second husband, Bob, cheating, Sarah files for divorce, only to be dragged back into her past when new DNA evidence reopens Adam’s case.

As Sarah and Bob’s split turns ugly and another woman disappears, Rose masterfully amps up the tension, blurring the lines between justice and vengeance, truth and manipulation. Sarah is a fiercely complex protagonist—intelligent, flawed, and unapologetically ruthless when threatened. Readers will find themselves questioning everyone’s motives, including hers.

What really shines here is Rose’s ability to layer suspense with emotional depth. The story is filled with deliciously unexpected twists, yet never loses sight of the human stakes. The pacing is razor-sharp, and each chapter leaves you hungry for the next.

The only reason this isn’t a perfect 5-star read is that a couple of the plot threads feel a bit rushed toward the end, with some characters conveniently shifting roles in ways that strain credibility. Still, the ending is satisfying and cleverly executed.

Overall, The Perfect Divorce is a gripping, addictive thriller that keeps you guessing and gasping until the final page. Fans of domestic suspense won’t be disappointed. #netgalley #theperfectdivorce #booked_this_weekend

I was definitely hesitant going into this novel. I really loved The Perfect Marriage and I wasn’t quite sure we needed another installment but I was pleasantly surprised. Jeneva is a master at her craft, this story line kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I think it was a fun ride because I didn’t trust a single person in this installment, yet she still blindsided me!!!

When I first read Jeneva Rose's debut novel The Perfect Marriage I was absolutely blown away. It had so many thrilling, twisty, "what the heck" moments that I was worried The Perfect Divorce wouldn't be able to live up to it's predecessor. I'm glad to say that it did! Jeneva is back with her scheming, manipulative characters.
The story continues over a decade later. Sarah Morgan and Bob Miller have a daughter and successful careers. Sarah's former husband, Adam, was sentenced to death for the murder of his mistress. Things start to take a turn when Sarah finds out that Bob has also cheated on her. Not only that, but new evidence has come up that could exonerate Adam and expose the truth of what she and Bob worked so hard to hide.
Jeneva is an excellent story teller and really pulls you in with her genius imagination and twisty, wicked plots. I loved and hated these characters in the best way. I never knew who's side I wanted to be on. Everyone has their evil sides and wants to make others pay for being wronged. This was an excellent sequel!

I loved The Perfect Marriage and was excited to jump into this. The Perfect Divorce picks up years later, Sarah now has a daughter with Bob, who she is actively divorcing after finding out he had a one night stand and cheated on her.

Soon after, Stacey (the one night stand) goes missing and Bob is being questioned by the police as he starts to wonder if Sarah is playing games and framing him.

Another POV is from the new sheriff, trying to clean up a mess on the Summer’s case when DNA from a police office is matched to the third unknown DNA from the from book 1. The public is starting to question if Adam really was innocent wrongfully received the death sentence. The sloppy police job doesn’t help, and the new detective is under pressure to get to the bottom of it.

This was fast paced, engaging and I loved seeing more of these characters in this cat and mouse game ! Narration was excellent and expressive !

Thanks to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. Release date 4/15/25.

Jeneva Rose does it again! After reading The Oerfect Marriage I was SO excited for this one! She is a master of plot twists and pulling the reader in! You won’t be able to put this one down!

The Perfect Divorce is a phenomenal read! The twists & turns in this one had me wanting to stay up way past my bedtime! Jeneva Rose is such a fantastic writer.
