Ok, many mean this is an unnecessary sequel to the wildly popular Boyfriend Material. But I love it! All the small stories within the story, the Four Weddings and a funeral and numerous other mobie references, the people working at CRAPP, and the relationship between Lucien and Oliver, their friends and families.

It’s not as fun as its predecessor and it kind of feels like Luc and Oliver haven’t grown at all since they got together. They still have frustrating fights because they don’t see eye to eye on some topics and readers get told how much they’ve grown without seeing the evidence. We find out that Oliver has been to therapy to deal with his eating disorder but honestly both of them should be in therapy so they can work through their insecurities and feelings of inadequacy. 

My favorite section was Oliver working through some of issues with his family. Maybe its the American in me but sometimes you just gotta fight it out with your sibling so you can understand the other’s point of view on your awful parents. If you’ve seen The Good Place, it reminds me of Tahani and Kamilah. 

Overall I’m not mad that I read it but it doesn’t live up to the first one so I’m a little disappointed.
