I absolutely loved this book (and really, the entire trilogy). After the first two books, I wondered how in the world the authors could wrap up this trilogy in a way that provided closure and a happy ending for everyone, and Diana Says Yes did masterful work in providing that. The friendships, the romance, the tension—most importantly, the GROWTH. I had no idea I'd end up rooting for specific characters when this series began, but Jen and Shana accomplished just that.

Everything about this trilogy is A+. The 40-something MCs, the spice, the conflicts, the relatable themes. Messy, complex, imperfect humans just doing their best and I appreciated it so much.

Now I just need ALL the books in hardback!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy in exchange for my honest review. I thoroughly enjoyed this whole trilogy. Initially, I thought it was a little lame to have Diana get back with Oliver, but I loved how the authors played it all out. And that scene with both Oliver and Jasper?? My goodness.

I'm not a usual book series reader, but I thoroughly enjoyed this satisfying conclusion to the "Dirty Diana" series.

Unexpectedly in this last chapter of the series, Diana finds herself trying to work things out in therapy with Oliver, her estranged husband. Their therapist suggests dating-without sex. Diana and Oliver find themselves trying to get to know the new versions of each other through a gamut of activities and see if they can be compatible once again.

Meanwhile, Diana's art installation/website "Dirty Diana" is taking off and attracting Hollywood level attention. Diana needs to find the courage to be true to her vision and risk alienating Oliver and her wider community of family and friends when she loses her anonymity about the site.

Can a woman really have it all? Diana is about to find out.

Diana Says Yes is a larger exploration of issues so central to women's experiences that include balancing authenticity and personal and professional fulfillment while navigating the roles of wife, mother, daughter, and friend. Diana is trying to claim her life on her own terms and her journey might be different but the road she travels is so familiar to many of us as we attempt to find our own way. Authors Jen Besser and Shana Feste do such an amazing job capturing all of the nuances of this quest and articulating the very real struggles.

This is a thoughtful and heartfelt conclusion-with some serious STEAM en route. Definitely get this one on your radar!

This book was a delightful ending to the trilogy. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and how the books progressed. I think it takes a person with an open mind to really enjoy the book.

My favorite book in the series!!!
I can’t wait for the next book.

This book picks up write where the second one ended. The story of Diana and Oliver isn’t over. It’s interesting to see them come back together and grow as a couple. I couldn’t put this one down.

“Diana Says Yes” is the perfect conclusion to a series I’ve truly loved, and I’m so grateful to have received an advanced copy from NetGalley - waiting until August would’ve been impossible!

As the third installment in the series, this book delivers everything I was hoping for. Diana and Oliver’s journey in this final chapter feels sexy, honest, fulfilling, and full of growth. I especially loved how they both worked to expand their horizons and reach a new level of happiness, both individually and as a couple.

The trip to LA was a fun detour from their usual world, a chance to shake things up and explore new possibilities. I’ll admit, a part of me was rooting for them to make the move permanently, but in the end, staying in Texas felt like the right choice. The Hollywood lifestyle didn’t quite fit who they are at their core, and the decision to remain grounded in what makes them truly happy was satisfying and real.

Both Diana and Oliver choosing to leave their jobs in pursuit of something more fulfilling felt bold, freeing, and a bit enviable. Isn’t that what we all dream of?

The dynamics with their parents felt incredibly realistic and relatable. It was also great to see Diana’s friends support her while staying true to themselves.

And Jasper…so glad he returned as well. It wouldn’t have been a proper finale without more Jasper!

I really enjoyed this series and hope you do too!

Thank you again to NetGalley for the ARC!

I may end up being an outlier with this one but this was not the way I wanted the series to end. After reading this, I feel like the 2nd book should have been a tad longer to wrap things up and just avoided this installment all together. 

What I loved: Diana working things out with her husband. Her being able to be open about Dirty Diana and embracing her newfound success.

What I didn't like: the premise is very misleading because the issue is a non issue in the book. Meaning that it wraps up pretty quick. The story then goes off down a road that made me cringe. I kept hoping it just wouldn't go there but then it did. I won't give away spoilers but what was the point of it? I'm not a prude but it started to read like fanfiction and just evolved out of nowhere. Then after everyone is just okay and they go on their merry way. 

Bottom Line: The story should have stayed on the same path from the beginning that explored more of the Dirty Diana business and her marriage rehabilitation.

Maybe rounding up from 2.5? I’m not sure why I’m so disappointed, but this book does wrap the series up. The first book was just so phenomenal and I devoured it. With every installment I felt like it kept chipping away at the magic until we were left with this. Was I let down by my own expectations?

I thought this was an amazing end to the Dirty Diana trilogy. This has become one of my favorite series I have read this year! The growth of the characters and the road they take to finding themselves and putting themselves first was done really well and I thought wrapped up nicely. I loved the way she was able to re connect with her husband and integrate their new lives together after all that happened in the first two books. You could definitely feel the difference in chemistry between them in this book compared to the beginning of the series when their marriage was falling apart. I think I preferred Oliver over Jasper but I thought the closure between Jasper and Diana was done well also.

Thank you Net Galley and Random House/Dial Press Publishing for the ARC!

I didn't like how the series ended. I was fine with her ending back with her husband, but I felt the 3some was too much.

Enjoyable, but felt rushed. There were a few typos and grammar mistakes throughout. The longest scene was the threesome, and it felt noticeably out of place given how sparse and rushed the writing was everywhere else. Thank you for the copy!

This has been a series that I really enjoyed. I am happy that I was approved to read all three books. In this third book about Diana, Jasper and Oliver, I didn't know really what to expect, not sure how it would all end. The second book's ending left me with a newfound interest in Oliver. I enjoyed how Oliver and Diana reconnected in this story. The only thing I did not enjoy was all of the LA storyline. I cared more about Oliver and Diana's relationship than whether or not Diana got ahead in her career. I guess it had to be in there to conclude things, but I found myself skimming most of those sections. Jasper's return was a shock, especially how he made his way into both Oliver and DIana's experiences on their journey back to one another. The newfound chemistry between Oliver and Diana was palpable and the spicy scenes were so well written. I am sad to see this series end. 4 stars, and only one knocked off because of the whole LA storyline.

3.5 stars rounded up.
the third book in the dirty diana series, diana says yes, was just as much of a peek behind the curtain of marriage and desire as the other two were. this book was set more in the present day and explored diana’s current options in life, in love, in her career, in her art, etc.
i thought the final 20% of the book wrapped up a bit quickly but i finished the series thankful to have met these characters and gone in this journey with them. this series is the perfect vacation read. highly recommend if you need an escape into someone else’s life.

Obsessed!!! This series is the best thing I’ve ever gotten from NetGalley! Unexpected and so authentic. The writing is descriptive and would make an amazing tv show. It’s hot but also raw and realistic. I love Diana’s journey with her business and her husband.

This trilogy (tho it reads more like a serial) has me in a chokehold. Never heard of the podcast until Dirty Diana book, and now I can’t get enough!
Can there be more? Please publish more!
Hope to see other novels from this duo!

WOW! That was what I needed to end this series. I didn’t quite know how things were going to go for Diana, but it was perfect.

I am in awe of this story. From the first book I have been fully invested in this story. I think I can connect on so many levels of the way your life can feel so predictable after marriage and children. You sort of lose yourself and then lose parts of your relationship with your partner as well. This book seriously gives the perspective of how things can be.

All the stars in the sky for this amazingly erotic but emotionally gripping story!

A beautiful, satisfying end to a series full of heart. Diana Says Yes is all about claiming your joy and choosing yourself — and Besser and Feste capture that journey with warmth, honesty, and just the right touch of romance. Diana’s growth, both personally and as an artist, feels real and hard-won, and her commitment to staying true to herself makes the ending powerful. Annnnd I knew Catalina was coming… !!!

A few moments felt a bit rushed, but overall, this finale is a perfect sendoff for fans who’ve loved Diana from the start.

Thank you to the publisher for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!

And that’s how you end a series, folks! This was definitely my favorite book of the three. I’ve been obsessed with this series from the start and for good reason. Holy moly, this one was so hot, and in my opinion, Diana got her perfect ending. I love how relatable it is while also being incredibly erotic and spicy without ever feeling cringey. I especially appreciated that some of the steamy scenes weren’t overly verbalized or spelled out. It left just enough room for imagination. I don’t know how many Olivers exist in real life, but he was absolutely the MVP of this book. Huge thanks for the wild and fun ride, @jenandshana. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next!

🙏 Thank you @thedialpress, and @jenandshana for this eARC and for the gifted physical book!

I didn’t like this book as much as the other two. It was still good but not as good. The “scene” towards the end of the book gave me the ick. But I did like how it ended.

This was an incredible conclusion to Diana's story and I love where she ended up as she came full circle. Great ending!
