Sourcebooks Casablanca Husband Material Paperback – Picture Book, 2 August 2022

I loved boyfriend material, after the first time I read it it quickly became my favorite read of the year, so when I found out there was a sequel coming out I immediately added to to my wishlist to buy it as soon as it dropped. Husband material was so worth the wait, I loved it just as much as BM and read it in 3 days because I just couldn’t put it down

It has been rare for me to come across a well written sequel of an amazing book, but Alexis Hall simply nails this one by staying true to showcasing real human feelings and thoughts, without compromising on being witty and skillfully weird. Another amazing read from the author.

It was a great read. It wasn't as good as the first part, it just didn't move me the same way, but it was amazing nonetheless. Just as the first part it was hillarious and explored human nature and needs in an extraordinary way. It also surprised me in a lot of different ways. I was laughing, I was crying, I was feeling it all the way through. I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to all, that need a little humor and bitter-sweetness (with the focus on sweetness) in their lifes. ❤

I was looking forward to reading it for so long, but the closer it got to its release date the more anxious I got I wouldn't like it. Because, ya know, I usually aren't a huge fan of sequels to romcoms. And I read reviews about people not liking it at all...BUT I LOVED IT.I loved everything about it. From the hilarious way some events are written to Luc's sarcasm/ silly jokes to Oliver's speech and obsessive cleaning (can he come to my house please), and from their sweet moments together to their perfectly unperfect relationship, which makes it absolutely perfect. I also love that they are each their own person, that they are different, but also support each other through everything.I read some reviews in which people said they (still) didn't like Luc because he supposedly treats Oliver badly. I honestly don't know where that's coming from. I have loved him since the beginning of Boyfriend Material, but I also think he's grown so much since then. And yes, he's still struggling and yes, he can still react badly at times (so does Oliver and the rest of the world), but he does take responsibility for his actions (mostly) and makes things right (and it usually doesn't even take him that long to realise he has too). Same with Oliver. So yep, I feel like I just jumped into PROTECT LUC AND OLIVER AT ALL COST mode, so I should probably skip to the end.That reminds me... THE ENDING... oh my goodness, the ending. I won't spoil anything, but I think it was perfect. And there's a certain moment very close to the ending where Oliver says something (I can't say what bc huge spoiler) and it made me feel so understood I kind of cried and smiled at the same time (think perfect 'one single film worthy tear slides down cheek while smiling like a fool' moment).I think the message of the book (or at least that's what I got from it) is that everyone is different, and it is OKAY to do things your own way, even if that means you are doing the exact opposite of what everyone else is doing. I think it came exactly at the right time, not so much because I didn't know this already, but because I've been thinking about stuff a lot lately, realising some things about myself, and it's so nice to somehow get that validation from one of your fav authors through two of your fav characters.So, to now really end my review, I loved Husband Material to bits and it made me so incredibly happy.

It was amazing and super awesome to read
