5/5

THIS WAS SO GOOD 😭

I've owned this book since I came out and I'm kicking myself over how long it's taken me to read it because I FUCKING LOVED IT. Ugh. 

It's been a long time since I've read a book that genuinely made me laugh out loud. This book was delightfully hilarious and witty and banter-y. It was glorious. 

That's not to say the romance wasn't top-notch because IT WAS. Oliver and Luc are an unlikely pair but they are just so perfect together. I loved how they balanced each other out and cared for one another and reassured each other (even during the parts where the relationship was "fake"). This book made me so soft and I loved the slow build because it just made everything else feel so worth it. 

Now, excuse me, while I go cry in a corner about how every book I read isn't like this one. *Sigh*

3.75

3,75/ maybe 3,5 but it WOULD have been a 4 but then that stupid third act breakup had to come in and take too long. Anyway I really enjoyed the first three quarters of the book and it was so cute and sweet and just adorable AAAAKDJFHSKDNSHSB. 

I loved Oliver and even though I’m not that much like him his problems were relatable. Luc was also relatable just more-so in the beginning and the opposite with Oliver. 
I dog-eared way too many pages. 

I thought the having two friends with the same name and who are married was kinda annoying. Also the Bridget and Tom thing was weird.

Priya was annoying too as were Alex and Miffy. I think the parts I didn’t like about this were the very ‘millennial’ parts.

So I guess apart from that, Luc’s dad, and the third act breakup I already mentioned I really enjoyed this book.

 

I for sure swooned at some of the things they said to each other (mostly Oliver though). AND (I was excited to say something but I completely forgot what it was)

OMFG OKAY SO IT WASNT THIS BUT HOT DAMN OLIVER CARRIED LUC and then be dropped him but it’s okay it’s the thought that counts.

AND OMFFG I ALSO JUST REMEMBERED WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY: I loved how Oliver said Luc’s full name, I don’t know why but I don’t like nicknames (for me) or the people I like so that was a small detail that made me love Oliver. Maybe I liked this book more than I’m letting on.

Why the hell did I wait so long to read this book?? It was so fantastic that I’m having a hard time putting my love for this book into words, but I’ll try. Just know that I’m fangirling really hard over this book right now.

Boyfriend Material had me laughing, it had me crying, it had my heart melting, and it had my heart breaking. But most of all, this book was fucking relatable. Luc and Oliver are probably some of the most relatable characters out there. They’re both anxious and stressed out, but in completely different ways. There were more than a few scenes that I felt all the way to my core. And I think this book will be sticking with me for a long time.

All in all I loved this book to pieces. I wish the next one was coming out sooner, because I just need more of Luc and Oliver and their quirky friends. Boyfriend Material is probably one of my favorite books of the year and is getting a solid five stars!

The ending was rushed but I enjoyed the rest. I liked that most characters were fleshed out and used for more than one chapter.
