I think this is was what I wished Red, White & Royal Blue would be. I know that book has a huge fandom, but it wasn't my favorite in the slightest. However, Boyfriend Material was absolutely adorable.

It had the fake dating trope (which I love), a little bit of grump and sunshine, and a whole lot of "aww" moments! I found myself hooked from the very beginning and desperate to know how the relationship would play out.

Yes, I gave it four stars even though it's not like the most memorable book ever or whatever. There were some really meaningful moments that had me a little teary-eyed, there were funny moments, and I totally loved the goofy jokes that the coworker never understood.

Basically, it was great and I can't wait for the sequel!
