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.

In all honesty, I wasn't quite sure what the main conflict was until the last couple of chapters, and then the book ended. There wasn't really a lot of resolution, and while the last scene is adroable and romantic, it seemed like there should be more after that scene. It didn't feel like a satisfying ending to me, and I just felt like it left a lot hanging in the balance.
However, a lot of the side cast gets to shine in this book and it's fantastic. If there's anything that Alexis Hall is good at, it's writing great characters. And moments of humor. So while I still prefer the first book, I'll keep reading about Luc and Oliver just because Alexis Hall has made me care about them. Because I'd love to see what's next for them!
