The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose Review

A Wild Game of Trust, Lies, and Survival

By Francisco NavarroPublished 9 months ago 4 min read

You know that gut-sinking moment when you realize you’ve been played? (Yeah, me neither. Kidding — totally do.) A few years back, I found out my roommate was "borrowing" my clothes…and selling them online. One day, you're sharing Netflix passwords; the next, you're bidding on your own jacket on eBay. Trust? Shattered like a dropped iPhone. That’s the flavor "The Perfect Divorce" leaves in your mouth — a bitter, exhilarating punch of betrayal that lingers long after you turn the last page.

Where Divorce Meets Deadly Games

Sarah Morgan thought she'd left her nightmare behind. A new marriage, a sweet little daughter named Summer, a house that didn't smell like regret. But fast-forward a year or so, and Bob Miller — Husband 2.0 — screws up everything with a one-night stand.

Sarah wants out. Fast. Clean. A "perfect" divorce.

Except Bob…doesn’t. Cue messy legal battles, backstabbing, mind games, and oh — did I mention? — The woman Bob slept with disappears. Just poof, like socks in a dryer.

And if that’s not enough chaos, the murder case that put Sarah's first husband, Adam, behind bars? It’s being cracked wide open thanks to fresh DNA evidence. Old skeletons. New betrayals. A blood-pressure-spiking mess.

(Till death do us part? More like, "Till your secrets bury you alive.")

Broken Trusts and Dark Motives

  • Fragility of Trust: Trust isn't just broken here — it's smashed into dust and scattered in the wind. Jeneva Rose paints it raw: one slip, one betrayal, and the whole facade crumbles.
  • Justice vs. Vengeance: What’s fair? What’s justified? And — maybe more importantly — what feels good?
  • Manipulation and Mask-Wearing: Characters swap faces like poker players bluffing at a high-stakes table. Who's lying? Who's surviving? (Spoiler: Probably both.)
  • Moral Gray Areas: No one walks out squeaky clean. Not Sarah. Not Bob. Not even the cops.

And the story holds up a cracked mirror — one that makes you squint and wonder: "If it were me...how far would I go?"

Characters: Twisted, Flawed, Unforgettable

Sarah Morgan: Imagine a mix between a chess grandmaster and a fox cornered in a burning barn. Brilliant, ruthless, and terrifyingly good at playing the long game. One second you’re rooting for her, next you’re thinking, "Girl, chill already."

Bob Miller: A man who's either heartbreakingly naive or sneakily toxic (depending on which chapter you’re in). He doesn't want the divorce — but maybe he doesn't want the truth, either.

Summer: Small but mighty. Summer isn't just a prop; she's Sarah's anchor, her Achilles' heel, her one piece of unbroken glass.

Sheriff Hudson: Torn between duty and doubt. His chapters feel like trying to navigate through a fog thicker than oatmeal.

"Unknown" Character: Yup — someone’s trapped. Somewhere bad. Their perspective punches through the main plot like a scream in a silent room.

(Sensory metaphor #1: Reading their chapters feels like scraping your nails down a cold, rusty pipe.)

Symbols & Motifs: Beyond the Bloodstains

  1. Glass: Trust is as fragile as a wine glass at a toddler’s birthday party.
  2. Masks: Not literal, but everyone's wearing one. Some crack. Some shatter.
  3. Dark Basements: Physical and metaphorical. Secrets get buried deep, where sunlight can't reach.

(Sensory metaphor #2: Secrets slither in the shadows like cold snakes under a rotten porch.)

What Jeneva Rose Thinks: Author's Behind-the-Scenes Scoop

Rose didn't just crank this out because fans begged for a sequel. She sat on the idea for years, letting it ripen into a story sharp enough to cut. She wanted solid reasons for Sarah's return. Not just "because money."

Also? She loved diving back into Sarah’s snarky, razor-sharp mind. ("Fun" was how she described it. Slightly terrifying, but…respect.)

Her goal? Pure escapism. A literary rollercoaster where the brakes might be broken. And judging by the praise she's gotten — people saying it's even better than "The Perfect Marriage" — she nailed it.
