This is a pretty intriguing cover in a simple-creepy sort of way. The title itself could belong to a self-help book. But the bloody slash through the word “Perfect” puts that to rest, big time. There’s blood spattered across the front and running ominously down the side. It looks like someone took a knife to the book itself—and it’s bleeding. (Not a phrase we thought we’d write today.)
The tagline—“Till death do us part. Yours. Not mine.”—is jarring, and the choice to write it in first person makes it even more disturbing. The implication is loud and clear: this divorce is going to be messy. Fatal, even.
At the bottom, we learn that Jeneva Rose also wrote The Perfect Marriage—again, with “perfect” slashed out. This woman has a whole brand built on marital collapse. And we kind of love that for her.
Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
Based on the Cover, We Think This Book Is About…
It’s not a love story. Let’s just say that. We’re guessing one of the divorcing parties hires a hitman to expedite the paperwork… or takes matters into their own hands.
Eleven years after defending her ex-husband in a high-profile murder trial, Sarah Morgan’s life seems back on track—until she catches her current husband cheating and files for divorce. But as their split turns nasty, new evidence reopens the old murder case, dragging Sarah back into the spotlight. When the woman her husband slept with disappears, secrets unravel and both spouses go to war. The question becomes: Can they pull off the perfect divorce—or will it end in murder?
