Yesterday I posted about Jeneva Rose’s The Perfect Marriage. Today, I want to post about the sequel The Perfect Divorce. The book was actually written five years after The Perfect Marriage. The sequel takes place eleven years after the first book.
SPOILER ALERT: I will tell you that if you do not want to know what happens after the first book (before you read it), you may want to revisit this blog when you finish it. The synopsis alone give a little bit of information as to what happens with the first book.
If you really don’t care about possible spoilers – read on.
I listened to the audio book for this one. I enjoyed it because each character was performed by a different narrator. It played out like a radio play, which made it easy to distinguish between characters.
Let’s look at the Goodreads synopsis (unless you don’t want spoilers to the first book):
The shocking sequel to Jeneva Rose’s multimillion-copy bestselling thriller, The Perfect Marriage.
Till death do us part. Yours. Not Mine.
It’s been eleven years since high-powered attorney Sarah Morgan defended her husband, Adam, against the charge of murdering his mistress. Sarah has long since moved on, starting a family with her new husband, Bob Miller, and changing careers. Her life is back to being exactly how she always wanted … or is it?
After discovering Bob engaged in a one-night stand, Sarah wastes no time filing for divorce. However, amid their ugly separation, new DNA evidence is uncovered in the case against Adam, forcing the police to reopen the investigation and putting Sarah right back in the spotlight. Everyone wants to know what really happened, most of all former Deputy Hudson, who is hell-bent on finding the truth.
But when the woman Bob slept with is reported missing, he and Sarah start to fight dirty, and a high-stakes game of cat and mouse ensues. Filled with page-turning suspense and Jeneva Rose’s signature twists and turns, this sequel will have readers wondering, Can Bob and Sarah achieve the perfect divorce? Or will it be “’til death do us part”?
The sequel is filled with quite a few twists and many of the same characters. In eleven years, things are different for many of them. There are also callbacks to the first book and as you read it, they both come together and shed light on both the past and the present.
Along with the first book, these two are easily two of the best books I have read this year.
5 out of 5 stars.
