   I always enjoy a book where an asshole gets his! I loved how the book ended, even if I predicted many of the twists throughout the book. I still love Sarah Morgan, even if she is quite morally grey, or maybe because of it. Bill got everything he deserved and more. I’m glad that Sarah’s daughter came out mostly unharmed as well.

 
   Overall, an enjoyable journey if a bit predictable. I wish the author had left out some of the romantic elements, though I guess they did end up serving the plot. 

Narrator Rating: 5.0 stars

   Full-cast audiobooks are my favorite, and they all knocked it out of the park!

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.
