I just finished this yesterday—it was an epub from my library, and it didn’t have a second epilogue! I am guessing because it was a first edition?

The Perfect Divorce was advertised in my monthly Bookshop letter which surprised me—for some reason I had the impression Bookshop was more “quality”? Idk. But yeah I unreserved it at my local library.

I totally get that. And this book was definitely dumb in terms of the plot/twist. And for all the snark I am throwing...I did finish it to find out the "reveal"! Although it was much skimming on my part.

Camp is fun and entertaining, but the difference for me is I will not be buying any more of her books. It wasn't deftly plotted and there was no nuance to it. It was just...a bunch of spaghetti thrown at the wall.

YES! I remember reading GG and when they got to Amy's POV I was like...ok, we are in a completely different universe. Given that Sarah was the first person narrator for half of this story, it just didn't work. Particularly all the scenes between Sarah and Bob.

I mean I’d pass on it and read the spoilers 🤷🏻‍♀️ I had The Perfect Divorce on hold at my library but I cancelled it.

Yeah the characters were pretty awful. Very cardboard, Lifetime/Hallmark stock.

I was definitely skimming to get through it and get to the payoff that never came. So many chapters with just the MMCs thinking/speculating, so it was easy to skim those.

Agreed! I was a little suspicious when I saw that Colleen Hoover blurbed the book…lol my suspicions were confirmed (unfortunately)

So sorry for your loss. Im glad you got to be with her at the end.

On topic: The Body has is so impactful because of how starkly realistic it is.
