This was a fantastic sequel to Diana in Love! I read this in one sitting and cannot wait for part 3! You'll fall in love with Diana - she is just so real and raw.

Loved book 2 in this series and continued to fly through the pages as Diana’s story unfolded! This spicy read continues to reminded me of the Netflix series Sex/Life, with the spice level, and also the love triangle between past lover and the marriage-on-the-rocks husband. Each cliffhanger ending makes you crave the next subsequent book. Can’t wait for Part 3!! Hoping to win an ARC of it ASAP. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity!!

DIANA IN LOVE is full of humor, emotional depth that's real and raw, and characters I genuinely love and care about... reminding me why I fell in the love with the first book in the series, DIRTY DIANA. Still getting used to living alone and being separated from her husband Olivier, Diana is navigating this new life of hers, which can be tricky since she doesn't really know what it is she wants. Olivier seems to be doing well (getting fit) and moving on, and even though Diana's first love Jasper is still as alluring and intoxicating as before, he is consistently leaving her, heading to another country for work, not knowing when she'll see him again. People bring out different parts of ourselves and for Diana, she feels free and fearless when around Jasper. And due to the history with Olivier, she feels blocked and it's hard to be truthful and vulnerable around him, for fear of either hurting his feelings or how Olivier will judge her. Diana and Oliver are both changing, but how much of them is still the same?

Diana and Oliver start therapy to learn how to better communicate for their daughter's sake and to understand why they ended up where they are (sitting on a therapist's couch). I so loved the vulnerability and realness in those moments... the realizations that unfold in their sessions and the love that's still between them was compelling to read. I admire how the this series highlights how normal, healthy and freeing sex and fantasies (and expression of any kind really) are. I also appreciated the reminder how important it is to do things that light ourselves up and how much I want to live a life that feels like I am exactly where I am supposed to be. I really loved getting to know Diana's friends more and seeing how they "clash."

This series has been a true joy and a privilege to read and I will wish for time to hurry up so the final book can come out while at the same time to slow down so that day never comes and this series will never officially come to an end.

Much gratitude to Random House Publishing Group/Dial Press Trade Paperback and NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.
