Editing to add that the dynamic between Luc and Alex reminds me of Nick and the sloths in Zootopia and Rhys is Pricilla in that exchange

So cute, and so funny! Too little spice for my liking, but still a good book.
Overall I enjoyed this book. It was fun and quirky. I liked seeing the profession of Oliver and luc’s relationship and how it went from being fake for PR (jumpscare from that term alone) to benefit their careers and reputations to being something real, and Oliver softening up. Also, seeing Luc’s character progression from having trust issues due to betrayal in past relationships. He still felt scared and made mistakes but decided to fix them and make things right rather than give up and let his anxieties take over completely.
However, the pacing felt a bit too slow and dragged on at some parts. Enough talking about beetles please. There was definitely too much time dedicated to that damn beetle charity. And I felt like so many of the characters personalities were merged into one and they all had the same traits and kookiness, especially luc’s friends. At times they annoyed me and it just felt unrealistic and reminded you that it was fiction. But despite this, Boyfriend Material was a still an enjoyable fake to real queer life story.

I imagine Luc gets better at some point but he's genuinely so unlikeable in the beginning that I can't keep reading
