The Divorce

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 realises her own life may be in danger.

But if it keeps her perfect family intact, isn't it worth it?

A razor-sharp thriller in which love curdles into vengeance, The Divorce deftly and chillingly portrays how the human mind can fray when survival becomes the most dangerous game of all.
