Book Review — The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose

"The Perfect Marriage" by Jeneva Rose is a thriller that fails to leave a lasting impression. The story follows successful attorney Sarah Morgan and her struggling writer husband Adam, whose marriage is on rocky terrain due to Adam's affair with Kelly Summers. When Kelly is murdered and Adam is accused, Sarah decides to defend him. The writing style is inconsistent, alternating between detailed descriptions and sloppiness, and the plot includes many twists and turns that are not always believable.

The book starts off with a slow and generic story that is not particularly engaging. The writing style is explanatory and quite detailed, which can be a bit tedious at times. The author's use of consistent descriptions of characters' movements and actions can also be a bit distracting and takes away from the story. As the story progresses, it does improve and becomes more complicated but the inconsistencies in the writing style and the generic nature of the story make it difficult to fully engage with the characters and the plot.

The book's main problem is that it is not a thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The twists and turns that are present in the story are not always believable and often feel forced. The story also lacks a sense of urgency and tension that is usually present in thrillers. The author's use of a "Oh boy, I did not see that happening" ending is also a common trope in thrillers and is not particularly original or satisfying.

As the story progresses, it becomes clear that the author had a strong idea but ultimately lost her way and didn't know how to proceed. The characters are not particularly well-developed and their actions and motivations are often not clear. The relationship between Sarah and Adam is also not well-explored, making it difficult to understand why Sarah is willing to defend her husband who has betrayed her.

One of the most irksome habits of the characters is the raising of an eyebrow, which is quite redundant and unnecessary. This is a small detail but it is used so often that it becomes distracting. It is not a realistic habit and it is hard to believe that people do that often in real life.

In conclusion, "The Perfect Marriage" is a book that is forgettable and average. It has its moments but ultimately fails to deliver a truly compelling and satisfying story that stays with the reader long after the book is finished. The author had a strong idea but ultimately lost her way, leaving the reader with a "meh" experience. If you are looking for a thrilling, nerve-racking read, this book may not be the best pick for you.
