I had the great honor of receiving an ARC Audiobook of The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose thanks to NetGalley. I really enjoyed this audiobook which utilized multiple actors to play each of the main characters. This always helps bring the story to life and delineate changes in personalities and storylines. The first few chapters were a little hard to follow the timeline of events, but after that it was all truly enjoyable. With the continuation of the storyline from the Perfect Marriage, Geneva Rose yet again shows the listener the lengths that her twisted and at times evil characters will go to get what they want.
I highly recommend The Perfect Divorce if you enjoy:

Multiple POVs with Multiple Actors/Voices
Psychological Thrillers/mysteries
Plot twists
Crime Scene investigation
Cold Cases being opened
Fast paced

If you enjoyed the Perfect Marriage at all, then you have to continue the story with The Perfect Divorce.

I will share reviews of this ARC Audiobook on my Bookstagram, my personal Facebook, Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com and Goodreads.

Oooh this sequel outdid its self! It kept me guessing and changing my mind on what I thought I knew! The first book fell a little short for me, but this one surpassed my expectations!!!

I have to admit to feeling giddy when I read that Jeneva Rose put out a part 2 to her highly rated novel "The Perfect Marriage". I was blown away by that book and all the twists and turns it led me through. It is at the top of a short lists of books I can easily recommend to everyone. I did read a hard copy of that book, and this time was offered an advanced audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

The narration was superb! I listened as a cast of SIX narrators brought this story to life. I could easily visualize each character based on their audio representation and they fit so well. While I was blindsided with The Perfect Marriage, I was EXPECTING Jeneva to keep us guessing this time and knew not to come up with any preconceived notions as to whodunnit. The cast of characters was long in this book, and I will admit to losing track of the significance of one character reappearing but that may be because I was distracted while listening to a valid explanation.

I truly hope this is not the last we see of Jeneva's cast and look forward to a book 3 in the future. (hint, hint). Many thanks to Blackstone Publishing - Audiobooks and Netgalley for the opportunity to listen in on this advanced audiobook. All opinions are authentically my own.

This was a fast, twisty read that kept me turning pages. Jeneva Rose does a great job blending suspense, drama, and messy relationship dynamics. I liked being back in Sarah Morgan’s world—she’s sharp, harsh, and always in the middle of chaos. The storylines around her divorce, Adam’s reopened case, and the missing woman all pulled me in.

That said, only two of the three main plotlines were fully resolved, which left me wanting a bit more closure. And while the big twist was solid, the ending didn’t quite land how I hoped—it felt rushed compared to how well the tension was built.

Overall, it’s an entertaining follow-up to The Perfect Marriage but not quite as strong. Still, this one delivers if you like legal thrillers with complex characters and lots of drama.

This book was a great twisty story to follow up The Perfect Marriage. I highly recommend you read that first, then be prepared to be blown away by an amazing sequel. You have to be able to suspend belief a bit but the thriller was well done. I hope she has a third one!

Recap:
In this sequel to The Perfect Marriage, Sarah Morgan is thrust back into the spotlight after police reopen her late husband’s murder case. It’s been over a decade since Sarah defended Adam against the charge of murdering his mistress. When officials uncover new evidence linking a former sheriff to the murder, the current sheriff reaches out to Sarah to revisit the details of the crime. Meanwhile, Sarah navigates a messy divorce from her current husband, Bob, after she discovers his affair. But when the woman Bob slept with is reported missing, he and Sarah begin a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, with each threatening to expose the other’s closely guarded secrets.

Review:
It’s rare for a sequel to be better than the original, but that’s exactly the case here. I thought The Perfect Marriage was just okay and gave it 3 stars. So I wasn’t really sure about a sequel… but this book definitely exceeded my expectations. It’s superior in story, style, and overall cohesiveness, and in being so made me appreciate the original for building the foundation needed to create this series.

This sequel picks up after the events of The Perfect Marriage and maintains the same kinds of crazy twists and turns throughout the book. From moment to moment, I knew I didn’t know who to trust, which kept me on edge in the best way possible. The whole thing kept me guessing, and just when I thought I had it figured out, a new twist would send me in a completely different direction! It’s bingeable, fast-paced, and you’re going to think you have it figured out, but you definitely don’t. 

I’ve always had a soft spot for an unreliable narrator, and going into this story knowing that Sarah was exactly that made this book even more exciting! She suffers no fools and no betrayals, and her relationship with Bob is so deliciously toxic. She is far from likeable, but her clever and calculated decisions make her a really fascinating character. 

Even if you’re like me and weren’t a huge fan of the first book, I would still recommend giving this one a read!

What a fantastic book/audiobook!
Normally sequels just dont hit the same as the first book but damn.. I think this may actually be better than the first!
I absolutely love Sarah and was rooting for her the whole way through the story! It was thrilling, gripping, i listened at every chance I had. I was obsessed. The twists were twisty and were done incredibly, I didn’t see them coming. I listened to this on audio and the narrators were amazing, they definitely did the characters and the story justice.. perfect all round. This book will quickly become a fan favourite with thriller book lovers.
I’m so sad that iv finished this now! Praying that there will be a 3rd book to make it a trilogy! 🤞🏽
This will be in my top 5 books this year! 5 ✨

This follows Sarah 11 years after her ex husband was sent down for the murder of his mistress. Sarah has since married Bob and they share a daughter together, until Bob has an affair with a woman and Sarah files for divorce. Until the woman goes missing. Sarah also has to deal with new DNA evidence coming to light about the case involving her ex husband, putting her back in the spotlight.
Meanwhile deputy Marcus hudson is doing everything in his power to bring the truth to light about what really happened 11 years ago and about what’s currently happened to bobs fling that has gone missing.
Will everybody get out alive or has someone finally met their match?
Thank you so much netgalley and blackstone publishers for approving this arc for me. I had the best time ever listening to this! 🫶🏽

Thank you Netgalley for the ALC of this book.

I really like the narration style of this book but this is a me problem when it comes to audios I have a hard time following several storylines. This was better because each person was a different voice.
I did enjoy my time but this won't be as memorable as I would want it to be. The wife in this story is a terrible person but I always like following her nonsense.

The good:
the narrators. I am so glad they brought back the same narrator for Sarah’s character. The guy that did Bob’s voice…spot on for what I envisioned. Everyone else did great.
It was twisty. Kept you guessing.

The bad:
Same storyline. Ugh I really hated that it was the same path as The Perfect Marriage. I was able to predict what happened. Yes I had a few surprises but overall I knew what was going to happen and it didn’t feel much different than the first book. That was disappointing.

Dare I say this is even better than the first?! The Perfect Marriage had one big story line, but this one had so many crimes going on that were connected. It kept me engaged from the very beginning. The audiobook was awesome as well because it had different narrators for each character and was told from many perspectives. I highly recommend this one 😍

Audiobook Review: The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose

Thank you soooo much for allowing me to review this audiobook! I’m definitely an audiobook girl, and I’m beyond grateful to get an advanced listen to one of my favorite author’s new books!

As soon as I got the approval for The Perfect Divorce, I immediately stopped listening to the book I was already in the middle of—there was no question what I was jumping into next. And I finished it in less than a day! That’s how hooked I was.

I absolutely love Jeneva Rose—The Perfect Marriage was one of my all-time favorites, and somehow The Perfect Divorce topped it! The story pulled me in from the very beginning, and I couldn’t press pause.

One of the standout things about this audiobook was having different voice actors for the main characters. It made the whole experience so much more immersive and brought the story to life in such a vivid way.

And the twists, Jeneva... the twists!! You think you’ve figured it out, you swear you know where it’s going—and then nope, you’re totally wrong. And it’s amazing.

Thank you again, NetGalley, for this opportunity. I absolutely loved it! 💕

I didn’t read The Perfect Marriage (book one), and honestly? It didn’t matter. The Perfect Divorce stands on its own—and stands tall in all its absolutely ridiculous, drama-drenched glory. This book is a mess, and I loved every second of it.

Bob Miller, the cheating husband, is the kind of character you love to hate. Smarmy, selfish, and somehow even more unlikeable thanks to his narrator (who was too good at making me want to roll my eyes), he’s the perfect foil for Sarah Morgan. And Sarah? She’s cold, calculating, and absolutely vicious—in the best way possible. I was obsessed.

Is it realistic? No. Is it over-the-top? Very. Is it a guilty pleasure thriller that feels like binge-watching a trashy true crime doc and a telenovela at the same time? 100%. I have no idea why I loved this train wreck so much, but I was HERE FOR IT.

If you’re in the mood for something twisty, dramatic, and a little bit unhinged, grab this one and buckle up.

This book is dark, unsettling, suspenseful and twisted. This is great sequel to the Perfect Marriage. Sarah has endured too much and she knew what she was doing. I didn’t see some twists coming. The book has multiple povs. Author did such a brilliant job. I won’t reveal much, read the book. Narrators did a good job. I liked the one who narrated Sarah’s perspective.

Thanks to the Publisher, Author, and Narrators

I really enjoyed The Perfect Divorce! Jeneva Rose does a great job pulling you right back into Sarah’s world—this time with even more tension, emotion, and unexpected twists. It’s fast-paced but still gives you those quieter moments that really hit. If you liked The Perfect Marriage, this follow-up is totally worth the read. I couldn't put it down!

“The Perfect Marriage” is my favorite book. I’ve read it at least 10 times. I knew Jeneva had it in her to write an outstanding sequel, but OH. MY. GOD. I was astounded, yet again. I had my theories, but I was even more excited with how she ended this book. I can’t give away anything, but this is easily the best sequel to the best book I’ve ever read. Brava, Jeneva. Just… wow. The full cast audio was spectacular as well. I’m just blown away.

Fantastic! I loved the first book, and it was super cool to get a continuation of the series. I loved the thrills, I can never figure out who the killer is or the plot twist and turns. The audiobook was fantastic, all the different narrators did a fantastic job! I read it in a single day.

This sequel to the perfect marriage was incredible. It picked up right where things left off eben when the book takes place 11 years later. Sometimes sequels are always a hit or miss but this sequel was a HIT forsure! An intense murder mystery. Thank you for the ALC!

Last month, I read the Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose and I was OBSESSED. It was perfect timing when I saw that the sequel, the Perfect Divorce, was coming out soon. I was lucky enough to listen to the audiobook.

Sarah Morgan is a lawyer that defended her ex husband on trial for murder. She unfortunately did not win her ex husband case. This new book takes place eleven years later and her life has moved on. She has a daughter, her job looks slightly different, and she was remarried to another lawyer in her past firm. That is, however, until they start to go through a divorce. Will history repeat itself?

I loved this just as much as the first one. It had similar qualities like the twists and turns, plus the main character is a bad ass. I loved all the different characters in the audiobook and really brought the book to life. You do have to read the first book, and I would recommend reading it close together since there are a lot of aspects that are similar. 5✨

Okay I'm going to be honest, I didn't read the first one, but what I loved is how this book explains perfectly what I need to know.
I understood it and I had a feeling what would happen, but that little plot twist at the end I wasn't expecting. I believe this will be a hit!

Thanks so much for this advanced arc!

Thank you to the publisher and author for this audio arc! I was so excited to get an advanced copy of this!
I am a big fan of Jeneva Rose, and this story once again did not disappoint! Just as was the case was the first book in this duology, I found this book to be entertaining and held my interest throughout. I also felt each of the actors cast for narration of this book were exceptional.
