A review by mysticforestcrafts
Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall

medium-paced

3.0

Pros:

I really like the realistic nature of the problems of the characters.  This is a really good exploration of self sabotage and the difficulty getting yourself to a stronger place.

I love that problems aren’t just solved to make for a happy ending.  Some of the characters are just assholes in here and we are left with that not them miraculously fixing themselves into less toxic people who regret their actions and do better.

Cons:

I struggled to get into this book at the beginning.  It wasn’t because of the relationship I just couldn’t seem to connect until things were a bit further in.  It took two solid attempts and somewhere between 20-30% of the book to be hooked.
