Not nearly as bad as The Perfect Marriage but still an incredibly lackluster for a thriller. I never felt like there were any stakes because I knew going in that all of the narrators would be unreliable. Sarah and Bob spent the entire book lying to the audience in their narration, so I just assumed that none of the stakes were actually real (which was true).

Even though The Perfect Divorce has better writing, more realistic dialogue, and more consistent characterization than The Perfect Marriage, I cannot in good conscience give it a better rating because of the final "twist" of the book. At the end of the book we find out that

Sarah had masterminded the entire plot and was an unreliable first-person narrator (lazy writing) which was THE SAME EXACT TWIST AS THE PERFECT MARRIAGE. Jeneva Rose just reused the same twist in the sequel

. I read The Perfect Marriage and The Perfect Divorce back-to-back and I felt like I was losing my mind when

I finished the second book and it was the same twist as the first book

. It truly blows my mind how low-effort Jeneva Rose's thrillers are. When she isn't copying other authors' plot twists (cough, cough, Gone Girl, cough, cough) she is copying her already published works.
