Absolutely loved the humor in this book, it was so good.  Having said that the overall book was kinda meh.  I liked some parts better than others.  It was slow to start and I actually forgot I was reading this book about 30% through.  There were a lot of weddings which are kinda boring to read in my opinion, but the ending was the kicker.  Like I went through all of that only for it to end the way it did??  I loved reading more of Oliver and Luc but seriously all that build up and dragging out an ending only to leave it there was disappointing.

 “I am yours, more truly than I have ever been anyone’s. Because when I’m with you, I’m me. Not someone I think I should be. And I’ll be with you, however you want, for as long as you’ll have me.”

So, I really liked Boyfriend Material. It was a cute rom-com. And because I liked it, I decided to read Husband Material, which continues the story of Luc and Oliver. And I liked it. It's another cute rom-com. However, I didn't like it as much as the first book. 

What won me over Boyfriend Material, was the character development. Although I didn't like Luc at first, I kept rooting for him and Oliver. And, with time, I started to like him. But when I started reading this book, I already know Luc and his character development. And, although this book also has strong character development, it wasn't as impactful as the character development of the first book. So, the book ended up falling a bit short, for me. However, on a positive point, this book was able to surprise me since some plot twists were completely unexpected. 

Overall, this is a cute rom-com that I would recommend to fans of Luc and Oliver.

seeing that a lot of people dislike the ending when the ending is what saved the book for me. a great & needed subversion of the romance genre, which often forces queerness into a normative timeline driving towards romantic monogamy and state-sanctioned marriage.
