About the book
A brand-new, gripping thriller from Freida McFadden, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid! What is a happily ever after really worth? Naomi was living the quintessential love story. Boy meets girl. They fall in love, get married, buy a dream house, start a family... Then--he kicks her out, hires the city's best divorce lawyers, drains their accounts, and takes up with a 20-something. It's a brutal end to the story. Naomi should accept defeat: move into a dingy apartment, get back into the workforce, and piece together the shattered remains of her life. Except, why should she? Instead, Naomi fixates on her husband's new girlfriend. What begins as cynical curiosity soon twists into obsession--and then into something far darker. As Naomi uncovers secrets she never imagined, she realizes her own life may be in danger. But if it keeps her perfect family intact, isn't it worth it? In The Divorce, #1 New York Times and internationally bestselling author Freida McFadden delivers a razor-sharp, subversive thriller where love curdles into vengeance, and survival becomes the most dangerous game of all.

“ My first read by this author. The first part of this book made me want to DNF so badly. I absolutely could not stand Naomi. So full of self-pity, wallowing, and just straight cringey behavior. I kept thinking to myself “Ugh this writing style is horrid, can the main character get ahold of herself and her reality??!”. I stuck it out because I was really hoping for some sort of twist and I’m glad I got it. Once the POV switched from Naomi to Veronica, everything fell into place for me, and suddenly I was interested in the book for the first time since the first 2 chapters. Naomi is literally …”
“I really enjoyed this! I guessed a few of the twists, but was still pleasantly surprised with others. Quick read!”
