Sinopsis. 

"Our favourite chaos demon & stern brunch daddy return in this delicious, ridiculous, and often poignant romcom about all the ways love can grow." —Talia Hibbert, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

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 hotly contested rainbow balloon arch to get these two from "I don't know what I'm doing" to "I do".

Good thing Oliver is such perfect HUSBAND MATERIAL.

Review 

I've been waiting for this book for a long time and I finally got to read it.

For those who don't know “Husband material” is the next part of “Boyfriend material” a book that I read last year and that I really liked. The story takes place two years after the first part, with Luc and Oliver already established as a couple.

This story is perfect for fans of rom-coms, as it has many themes in common with the romantic movies of the 90s, although with a more current approach. The characters still have very wacky personalities, always arguing with each other over the strangest things. There is a lot of chaotic energy in this book.

I liked the way the family problems of both are approached. It's nice to see a story that deals with family problems without romanticizing them. Above all, I liked that a large part of the book was dedicated to Oliver, who was somewhat forgotten in “Boyfriend Material”.

However, while I quite liked the book, I feel like the final story arc was too rushed. Despite the fact that there was a previous development, the climax is in the last 2% of the book and then it ends. I think the conversation about marriage was interesting enough to drag on a bit in the last few pages.

In general, it is a fun sequel that preserves the soul of the first part, but I would have liked to be a little more satisfied with the ending.
