Publisher’s Summary

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.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying

4/5 stars — “It took a bit of listening…”
The story started out fine, and then as it went on, I became more and more irritated with the main character. As with most of McFadden‘s stories, there’s always a twist. So although you may feel like giving up part of the way through, listen to the whole thing. It’s worth it. An interesting ending, though I would’ve liked a bit more of the story. The last part seemed a bit rushed for all of the buildup. Overall decent though.

— Rebecca Benston, Audible listener

5/5 stars — “Loved The Suspense!”
The ending kinda left you on a cliffhanger. I would love to know more about what happened after everything was over with. They did an epilogue but it didn’t give many answer.
