I loved The Perfect Marriage and I loved the sequel The Perfect Divorce. Sure, some of it is unbelievable but it’s fiction and it’s what makes it a fun fast paced psychological thriller! I don’t know how Jeneva Rose even thinks of these characters and storylines! I love her twists and I can’t wait to read book three!

4 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Perfect Divorce is that rare sequel that totally outshines the original. This was 10x better: clever, sharp, and so well-planned. The characters, POVs, and plot twists were all chef’s kiss. Knowing the cast from book one left room for some satisfying reveals. Just when I thought I had it figured out, the truth unfolded in a way that still surprised me—without ever feeling forced. The full cast narration on audio made it even better. I couldn’t stop listening. Jeneva Rose truly nailed it with this one

3.75/5 stars rounded up.

I read The Perfect Marriage a few years ago and loved that book. While I thought this one was still enjoyable, I also felt that it was unnecessary and wasn't as good as the first one. I honestly didn't feel like The Perfect Marriage needed a sequel but I'm also not mad to have gotten one.

This is pretty fast-paced and action-packed from the start with a strong FMC. The story was incredibly exaggerated and was extremely far-fetched yet it was entertaining. Sarah, the main character, almost feels like Amy from Gone Girl. At least it feels like Amy could've been the inspiration.

While Sarah isn't exactly "likable" she's also the only character that I did enjoy in this and I constantly find myself cheering her on. If you can look past the outlandish plot of this book, it is an enjoyable read. If you're looking for something more realistic and believable, this is definitely not the book for you.

If you grab the audiobook for this story, the narrator did a fantastic job. I would really love to listen to this story while reading along in the physical copy once this book releases.

Thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for the ALC. All opinions are my own.
