Luc and Oliver are BACK!
I have been waiting very impatiently for another book about one of my favorite romcom couples. I sat down and read it all in one fell swoop. At 2am, I came out of this binge read with a book hangover and sore cheeks from grinning at my kindle.
Is this just as good as Boyfriend Material? Well, no, but sequels so rarely are. However, it's a great continuation of their story. All your favorite friends are present and accounted for with all their little quirks. Oliver is still adorably overly-serious and Luc is still adorably overly-anxious.
The pacing was a bit off for me at places - some scenes seemed unnecessarily detailed and others seemed to get skipped over rather quickly. Regardless, I am so happy to have read this book and I'll probably read it again when my pre-ordered copy turns up in the mail. Crossing my fingers for a third Luc & Oliver book.
A HUGE THANK YOU to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for this e-ARC.
