The first five chapters reassure me that Husband material is going to be an elegant witty follow-up to the first book.

Thank you to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca for giving me a copy of this five-chapter preview in exchange for my honest review!

While this preview may only show us Chapters 1–5 of Husband Material, it doesn’t mean I’m any less eager to devour the rest of Alexis Hall’s follow-up to the outrageously witty and heartfelt contemporary romance Boyfriend Material. Just these five chapters are already getting me geared up for the exploration of the next phase in Luc and Oliver’s relationship. Plus, it piles on the droll humor that was a signature of Boyfriend Material, even bringing back the running gag of Alex Twaddle, a dense coworker of Luc’s, being incapable of getting any of the jokes that Luc throws his way. I can’t wait to read the rest of Husband Material!

I just finished the preview of Husband Material and let me tell you, it was absolutely amazing. I was dying for more Luc and Oliver content. And this felt like a glass of water after years of drought.
I loved seeing Luc's friends again and the progess Luc made. It's not so much as to be unrealistic but he is in a much better place than the last book.
This first chapters already prepera a few plotlines that i know are going to be amazing. I was already laughing out loud, giddy and full of dread.
If they break up at any point i'm going to loose it.
Bye now, i'll go re-read Boyfriend Material a dozen times to satisfy my need of Oliver and Luc content while waiting for this book to come out.

I immediately preordered this book after reading the preview. I can't wait to hear more about the shenanigans going on at C.R.A.P.P. - and obviously Luc and Oliver.

Thanks to Sourcebooks Casablanca for sending a preview of this book to me.

This book starts with Luc and Oliver attending a non-gender-specific bird do (Bridge's hen do) which I know nothing about and even after reading this preview still have no idea what it actually about expect that it is vagina theme or something like that. Honestly, I did not enjoy this preview, the conversations felt a tad bit too long, the characters felt a bit too much and I continued to forget who was who. The characters I was interested in (Luc and Oliver) who by the way are still so very sweet and adorable, get a bit backburned in this preview and I almost forgot that they were the main characters.

Considering that I was only able to read chapter 1-5, I cannot totally say I was confused or that I didn't enjoy it because I can tell it was going somewhere but I was turned off by the first chapter, which is really bad. There were so many non-dictionary words that were similar to twitter lingo and nuanced lingo that I just could not keep up and that is not to say I didn't understand them, it was just too much in every paragraph or dialogue.

I will however be reading the whole book once it is out because I really love Luc and Oliver but the cast was quite confusing and a bit more description would be great

Having been a huge fan of Boyfriend Material, I became immediately excited upon hearing about the sequel, Husband Material. This preview of the first few chapters gives us a taste of what we’re getting and it’s made me even more thrilled for the release of the full book. All of the humor, charm, wit, and heart of the first book are present in this snippet of the sequel and I can’t wait to see what else is in store!

Argh I absolutely NEED to read the whole book! So unbelievably excited for this to come out! Or for the publisher to grant my advanced copy wish ;)

I thoroughly enjoyed these first few chapters and I can't wait to get the rest of the book once it's published!

I can't wait to read the full novel! Oliver and Lucien have been living in my head since Boyfriend Material.

I would read anything that Alexis Hall writes. Boyfriend Material was my favorite romance that I read last year, and I was delighted to read this! I can’t wait to get further into this book and follow these two men and their story more. They have the best chemistry and dialogue and this series is just perfect!

A great teaser…. I fell in love with Luc and Oliver's love story, and the palpable love is felt in just these first five chapters. I'm excited to see how these two fumble around their relationship during wedding season. I'm also excited about the storylines for Bridge and Tom, and anxiously waiting for Odile to make an appearance! Need more please!

Absolutely loved the preview of this!! Got left on a cliffhanger so need to know what happens to our favorite boys!! The banter between Luc and Oliver is unmatched and Alexis Hall does a great job of creating really thorough characters, relationships, and dynamics in his novel that suck the readers in! So excited to read the whole thing!

I sometimes get scared with sequels because often, they never live up to the magic of the first. But I knew the first few sentences of HUSBAND MATERIAL that Alexis had again captured the perfection of the first book and *more.* The classic characters, the quintessential humor--it remained as funny and tender as one can expect from Alexis, and specifically, from the BOYFRIEND MATERIAL universe. I devoured the preview and cannot WAIT to read the full book. 5 shiny stars!

A big thank you to Sourcebooks Casablanca and NetGalley for the early preview in exchange for my honest, unbiased review!

I am in shambles at the idea of waiting until August to find out what happens next in Oliver & Luc's story. As soon as I picked up this preview, I was cackling along to the entire world's antics; joyful to once again follow along with all of Luc's shenanigan & mishaps! Honestly, these characters are just the most outrageous & loveable group of idiots and I can't wait to find out everything the happens next in each of their stories!

The first 5 chapters of this book promise everyone's fave British boyfriend, Luc and the buttoned-up emotional maelstrom of Oliver are still the adorable grumpy-sunshine, opposites-attract couple we love to love. Hall nails Luc's wry, quirky, delightfully self-serving voice once again. Can't wait to read the rest!

This sneak peak at the first 5 chapters of Husband Material was a delightful window into where Luc & Oliver’s story (from Boyfriend Material) is 2 years into their relationship.
Lucien bumps into his life derailing ex, who is getting married and now Luc has to make the decision about if he wants to attend the event and prove that be really is over it and very happy with his extremely handsome barrister boyfriend.

Alexis Hall has a unique talent of making all the side character voices unique and interesting and often leaving me interested enough to read whole book of their story.

Can’t wait for the rest!

I am very excited to read about these characters again! I can not wait to read the book in it's entirety. This was such a tease, I don't know how long I can wait for the whole book.

Ugh! This preview pulled me RIGHT BACK into Luc's helter-skelter narration of absolutely adorable run-on sentences, and inconceivable coincidences. Luc is the most mannered man I've had the delight to read, which is why it came as no surprise that his money-grubbing ex slithers in to create more drama on the eve of what seems to be Luc's grown adulthood. He's FINALLY in a long-term stable relationship, and helping his bestie celebrate a wedding.

So, obviously, the time is ripe for Luc's complete world to go pear-shaped.

My only frustration was it being a preview. I want the ENTIRE BOOK. But, I'll wait patiently. Because. Well, everything I've ever read from this author--including his live-tweets of Moby Dick--has been delightful and worth the wait.

There are only 5 chapters in the preview, but Alexis Hall has managed to make me laugh, and almost cry already. It was honestly so enjoyable to return to these characters, and it felt like nothing had changed - I love them now, just as much as ever. The first 5 chapters set up the rest of the story very nicely, introducing a few different potential plotlines and bringing in the "antagonist" of the story. Even though this was only a preview, it has me gripped. I don't know if I will manage to wait until August to read the rest of the book! I need to find out what happens next ASAP!

I can already tell that this is going to be better than Boyfriend Material.

Super fun few chapters of a previous! I'm so happy to be back with one pf my fav British couples and I'm excited for thr full release to see what shenanigans these two get into!
