I read book 1 back in 2022, and jumping into this 3yrs later, i didn't remember anyone or what it was about *ep* and that is where the first flaw (and maybe only flaw) of this book shows up. i feel like it doesn't do the best job of reminding the reader of what happened in book 1. it does drop some pieces of bread for you, but i honestly just had a hard time remembering and felt like there could have been a better way for the book to remind you of the past.

Narrator lineup? Chef’s kiss. This full-cast production adds just the right level of drama and dread to a story that’s already dripping with tension. Twisty, bingeable, and wickedly fun—the kind of thriller that makes you want to fold laundry just so you can keep listening. Jeneva Rose once again proves she knows how to hook you and never let go. Highly recommend the audio for max unhinged vibes.

This was the perfect sequel that picked up perfectly from the first novel. Sarah Morgan is a badass and I still want to be her when I grow up! This novel ends beautifully but leaves it open for a 3rd (wishful thinking?)! The narration on the audiobook is fantastic, highly recommend! 5 stars!

Thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for the ALC!

This author never disappoints. Sarah is an attorney that represented her husband in an alleged murder of his mistress in their home. Her husband has since been put to death. Remarried and with the murderer still potentially at large almost a decade later - this story takes you for a wild ride. Who can you trust? There was some obvious foreshadowing but still fun. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose is a fast-paced domestic thriller that delivers another page-turner that keeps you second-guessing right up to the last chapter. If you read The Perfect Marriage, you are familiar with the high-powered divorce attorney who prides herself on winning — until her own marriage begins to unravel. The tension between her professional success and personal downfall creates an engaging duality. As always, Rose nails the character voice — especially the protagonist, who is smart, a little snarky, and deeply flawed. If you're into legal dramas with a psychological twist, this one hits the mark.

I requested this ARC in audio format because it is read by multiple narrators, and for the most part they did an excellent job voicing all the different POVs. The one who narrated Bob's POV was a little grating, in part because Bob was an annoying, whiny, little snot of a man, but also because he seemed to be angry all the time and much of his dialogue involved yelling which was literally painful to listen to. As far as the storyline goes, it was over-the-top dramatic, and although fairly predictable, it was fast-paced and entertaining.

Well hot dang!!! The sequel outdoes "The Perfect Marriage".
Absolutely Exquisite. Just gripping!!!
The storyline is darkly entertaining, I'm loving all the angles and I seriously could not put it down.... GET THIS ON YOUR LIST, YESTERDAY.....
Better than the first one, and there's is another one to come after this one. Can't wait!!!!!!!

This sequel is absolute chaos—in the best way possible. Jeneva Rose throws readers right back into Sarah Morgan’s savage world, and it’s even better than the first. Twisty, dramatic, and gloriously unhinged, it delivers razor-sharp dialogue, petty revenge, and jaw-dropping reveals that had me gasping more than once. Sarah is smarter and meaner, and Bob? He never stood a chance. Over-the-top? Definitely. Addictive? Completely. It’s a wild ride of courtroom games, murder, and dark humor that I couldn’t put down. Bring on book three—I need more.

Thank you to Netgalley for both the eARC and the ALC!

Fantastic book that keeps us guessing until the very end. Jeneva Rose never shows her hand, but I couldn't figure out the resolution until about the last 10 minutes of the book. The pacing was great as well, with the events moving very quickly. I'm looking forward to her next book!

I loved that this was twisty and turny, but not scary. The characters were extremely unlikable and unreliable, shush I loved!

4.5/5 stars, rounded up

Thank you Blackstone Publishing for the advanced listening copy!

This is soooo close to being first 5⭐️ of the year… some twists were predictable and that just stops me from giving it 5/5. However!!! This was a great sequel. I had forgotten a lot from THE PERFECT MARRIAGE which had me a bit confused at first, but I easily fell back into the story. I should probably be concerned with my loyalty for Sarah Morgan -- she's sooo problematic and toxic but I love her??? A bad-b, take-no-prisoners MC is sooo fun and she fits that bill for sure.

This is Jeneva Rose at her best!! The writing is simple enough that it’s easy to tear through the story, and the plot is so complex it’ll keep you hooked the entire time. Like I said, a few of the twists I guessed, but for the most part this one had me totally floored. I was entertained from start to finish, that much is for sure.

This also reminded me that I haven’t yet read HOME IS WHERE THE BODIES ARE, so now I’m super excited for that!

I would keep reading more and more and more about Sarah Morgan's twisted mind, and it sounds like I might just get my wish... !!!!

Frieda McFadden is the queen of quick, satisfying thrillers. Perfect Divorce certainly lives up to the rest of her books. It follows Sarah Morgan 11 years after the first in the series The Perfect Marriage. While she’s started a new marriage, she is also ending it when new evidence about her first husband who has been convicted of murder comes to light. Following twists, turns, and additional cases, this book weaves good thriller and mystery together with a bit of light romance as well. While some aspects felt predictable and trope heavy, I enjoyed it as a quick read that had me thinking the whole time. I also liked that this book could be read solo without knowing the original story, making it a good choice for book clubs as well. Overall a good fun read.

Great follow up to an amazing first book. Loved the narrators and I was excited to have another installment of this story. Exciting and enjoyable listen.

After the first book left my jaw hanging, almost to the ground, I was not ready to be done with Sarah Morgan’s story. and of course The Perfect Marriage is followed by The Perfect Divorce. Jeneva Rose’s second installment builds perfectly from the first book, creating the never-ending suspense that leaves the readers guessing everything and trusting no one. Rose’s greatest accomplishment may just be her dynamic, complex, and richly developed characters. The Perfect Divorce is only perfect in theory and creates an absolutely unputdownable book, delightfully narrated!

I'll admit, I did not realize this was the second book in a series, however, I don't think it mattered. I knew there had to be some backstories, but I kept up, and it was easy to follow the storyline. I enjoyed this book. It was well written, engaging, and kept me guessing until the end. I liked the narrators of this audiobook. They kept me engaged, and their voices made it easy to listen. I've enjoyed previous Jeneva Rose books, but I have to say that this one is my favorite so far.

3.5 stars but rounding up. I really enjoyed listening to the audio of this book. I enjoyed multiple POVs and different narrators. Though the plot of the story was similar to the first I enjoyed it. I kinda hope there is another book around Summer.

This book cannot be read as a standalone.

Thank you NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for the ALC.

Sara Morgan at it again with the twist! This one may be better than the perfect marriage!

Full cast! Several POV & why did Bob think he could just cheat on Sara & get away with it!

I read the first one on paperback but I listened to this one & the experience was totally different! The full cast really brought the characters to life.

I just love Jeneva Rose. The first book I read of her's was The Perfect Marriage when it was first released. I absolutely did not guess the end and loved it the final twist. Years later and she gives us The Perfect Divorce. Hands down amazing. Knowing now her writing style, I was constantly thinking 'okay, it will end like this, or this twist might happen', guess who was wrong and did not guess! This girl! And I am usually pretty good at figuring out some point of the story.

I listened to the audio and loved the narrators. Having several just really made the story come to life more in my mind.

Hands down, will read anything Jeneva writes. Love her!

Sarah Morgan is back. It´s been eleven years since attorney Sarah Morgan was defending her husband in a murder case involving his mistress. She has moved on, but just recently found out about her current husbands affair...

When I was accepted to read this arc I was so happy. I really liked the first book in this series " The perfect marriage " so I was excited to continue. As always, Jeneva Rose puts you on a rollercoaster from the start in her books. You think you know what is going on but you really don´t!

I rated this book 3.5 stars.

I requested this book not realizing it was the second in a series and while I didn't *need* to have read the first book, I do think it would have helped as there was clearly some backstory that probably would have been helpful to understand.

So while "The Perfect Divorce" is a nice mystery with some twists, I did find it a bit complicated to follow--this could be because I didn't read the first book or because I listened to the audiobook version and may have sometimes been distracted when trying to keep track of the various characters and intersecting plotlines.

The twists are enjoyable and it's a thriller with a bit of intelligence--something that is sometimes missing from thrillers--but it might have been a little too much.
