Wanted:
One (very real) husband
Nowhere near perfect but desperately trying his best
In BOYFRIEND MATERIAL, Luc and Oliver met, pretended to fall in love, fell in love for real, dealt with heartbreak and disappointment and family and friends…and somehow figured out a way to make it work. Now it seems like everyone around them is getting married, and Luc’s feeling the social pressure to propose. But it’ll take more than four weddings, a funeral, and a bowl full of special curry to get these two from I don’t know what I’m doing to I do.
Good thing Oliver is such perfect HUSBAND MATERIAL. (Goodreads synopsis)
I hadn’t read an Alexis Hall novel prior to this one.
I found it hard to review this book, because I absolutely loved Luc and Oliver, but I also really hated the ending. No spoilers, but the novel shows how Luc and Oliver spend their time at multiple weddings with the same or similar unnecessary dramatics. My favorite person was probably Luc’s mom. I mean I literally laughed out loud and read random passages to my husband who also laughed. I also enjoyed Luc and Oliver’s friends (it was mainly Luc’s since the novel was in his POV). Though I was very confused with the James Royce-Royces and thought they should have been James Royce-Royce 1 and James Royce-Royce 2.
I only became disgruntled with the last 3 chapters, because I am not quite sure of what I read. I had really hoped the ending would have flowed better or made more sense, but sadly that wasn’t the case.
Overall I settled with rating this novel 4 out of 5 stars, because I really loved the majority of the novel and didn’t feel comfortable to lower the novel below 4 stars since it was only those last chapters that caused such unhappiness.
