4.0

Hall's wonderfully-flawed characters and true-to-life feelings make up for the complete and utter lack of a plot. Husband Material's sole driving force is the thought of a wedding, and Luc and Oliver spend the majority of the book in fights that are both silly and extremely sociopolitically relevant. The ending was cute, but I wish it hadn't come out of pretty much nowhere. I honestly think the book would have been much stronger if it had had Oliver's perspective. 
Still a cute read, and I enjoyed the additional look into Luc and Oliver's lives.
