Where to start?

First, thank you to the publisher, Random House and NetGalley for this eARC for an honest review.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I found it incredibly engaging and interesting. There are similarities between this book and the Netflix show, Sex/Life, but not so much to where it feels redundant. Diana and Oliver seem like the perfect couple, but they are going through it—their biggest issue is lack of communication and being honest about the lack of desire in their marriage on Diana’s side. The unfortunate thing is Diana can’t help but be reminded of her former self and the vivid and sensual relationship she had with the mysterious, Jasper.

I loved reading about Diana and Jasper. I could see their situationship play out vividly in my head for the beautiful disaster that it was inevitably going to be.

However, reading about Oliver and Diana post strip club was rough. I hated the lack of honesty and the games that Diana was playing with him that seemingly backfired in her face at the end.

The only thing missing for me, which I know this is about uplifting the feminine perspective, but Oliver’s motivation in the end didn’t really make sense to me—to go immediately to the nice apartment, hanging out with Raleigh, and turning his back on his wife without asking for a divorce first. It just didn’t seem in line with his character, so a chapter from his POV would have cleared things up a bit.

I would definitely read the next book to see how things unfold with Jasper and Diana OR with Diana and Oliver.
