My Current Read

📖 Name of the Book: The Perfect Divorce

📄 Plot: the book follows Sarah Morgan as she navigates a messy divorce with her second husband, Bob, while being drawn back into the past when her first husband's murder case is reopened.

📖 Genre: psychological thriller and domestic suspense

💭 My Thoughts: the book picks up 11 years after the events of the first book so if you haven’t read it in a while I suggest you do a re-read because I at first had trouble remembering certain characters but she does to good on little reminders of her the people are.

⭐ Star Rating: so far ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2025/5/5 Edited to

... Read moreOkay, so I just shared my initial thoughts on Jeneva Rose's "The Perfect Divorce," but I wanted to dive a little deeper into why this book, and specifically its stunning cover, has completely hooked me from the first few pages! You know how sometimes a book cover just speaks to you? For "The Perfect Divorce," that torn cover design with its dark red hues immediately screamed 'domestic suspense' and 'psychological turmoil.' It perfectly sets the stage for the kind of story you're about to read – something fractured, perhaps violent, and definitely unsettling. It makes you wonder what's been ripped apart, and what secrets are hiding beneath the surface. If you're like me and you're drawn to books that mess with your head a little, this one is a must-read. Jeneva Rose is an absolute master at crafting these intricate psychological thrillers. While the original article gives you the plot – Sarah Morgan navigating a messy divorce while her first husband's murder case is reopened – what it doesn't fully convey is the sheer tension she builds. Every page leaves you questioning motives, doubting characters, and piecing together fragments of the past. It’s not just a story you read; it’s a puzzle you're actively trying to solve alongside the protagonist. A quick note for those who might be new to Jeneva Rose or this series: "The Perfect Divorce" picks up 11 years after the events of her first book. I totally get it if you haven't read it in a while, or ever! I initially had a tiny bit of trouble remembering some characters, but Rose does an excellent job of weaving in subtle reminders and context clues without bogging down the current narrative. You don't necessarily need to re-read the first book to enjoy this one, but knowing the backstory definitely adds layers to Sarah's character and her current dilemmas. I'd definitely recommend refreshing your memory if you have the time! What I find truly captivating about Rose's writing is her ability to create characters who are deeply flawed yet entirely relatable. You empathize with Sarah even as she makes questionable decisions, and you feel the weight of her past pressing down on her present. The themes of trust, betrayal, and the lingering shadows of past relationships are explored with such intensity. It’s more than just a whodunit; it's a deep dive into the psychology of someone trying to rebuild her life while being dragged back into her darkest chapters. So far, my five-star rating stands strong. If you love a good thriller that keeps you guessing until the very end, and appreciate a cover that perfectly encapsulates the mood of the story, then seriously consider picking up "The Perfect Divorce." I'm eager to see where Sarah's journey takes her and what other twists Jeneva Rose has in store. Have you read this book or other thrillers by Jeneva Rose? Which covers have caught your eye recently and why? Let me know your thoughts!

Started reading this book on Thursday and so far I’m obsessed it’s an amazing read. I want to get more out of ritual work. I feel like for the most part I’m copying what others do and trying to make it my own. Which feels forced and like I’m not connecting to my craft in the way in which I should.

things I did when I first started reading and reviewing books that I will never do again 1️⃣ buying a bunch of books WITHOUT reading the back. simply went off vibes and called it good. to be fair they were all thrillers, so basically you know what you get HAHA 2️⃣ refusing to try other genres
