I was so excited for this sequel after loving Boyfriend Material, but this one fell flat. It was too long-winded for what was happening and very Four Weddings and a Funeral-ish with the constant weddings. There was very little chemistry between Luc and Oliver this go-around and I feel STRONGLY that Luc really needs to go to therapy because a lot of the issues in their relationship stem from Luc's anxiety and spontaneity and insecurities. And rather than seek help for that, he basically tells Oliver that's who he is and he has to just accept that, which isn't fair to the relationship. 

I'm hoping the third book brings back the charm of the first because this one was really lacking it.
