A brilliant teaser to what is sure to be a book I’ll adore. I loved Boyfriend Material, and from these first few chapters I can tell I will feel much the same about Husband Material. I love the tone Alexis Hall sets across all his novels and i’m delighted that its no different for this upcoming release. Alexis Hall knows how to create characters very well. Luc, to me, is a perfect protagonist because he’s so easy to like and root for, but he’s flawed and can be unbelievably stupid - it gives layers to him and makes him all the more relatable. I love how this book (and the first one) makes subtle nods to some great british rom-coms, it makes me, a british person, fall all the more in love with it. I can’t wait to read this in full when it’s released and spend more time with characters and a relationship I have adored for a long time.

I love this! I cannot wait for the full preview to be released. I hope to get another early copy! I love Alexis Hall and Red, White and Royal Blue so I cannot wait for this one.

I loved getting to catch up again with Oliver and Luc - I was such a fan on Boyfriend Material & Alexis Hall's other books since then. It's so lovely to see how much they've both grown and I'm already hooked. I can't wait to read the rest!

If you loved the first book, and for what i’ve read so far, i’m sure you won’t be disappointed with this one! It looks like the perfect sequel for the story of these two 🥺 Can’t wait to get my hands on this!!

How delightful! I forget how incredible Hall's writing is, the characters are so loveable and the scenarios and inner diologue is just hilarious. I cant wait for the full book, and this hint of the conflict already has me excited for more.

I really enjoyed the first few chapters and would be interested in reading the rest! I didn't realize this was a sequel. Maybe I've been hiding under a rock and gave myself spoilers for the first book, but I will definitely be picking up the first before this book is published and I can get my hands on the rest of this book!

<i>Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the earc!</i>

Even though this preview was only the first 5 chapters of Husband Material, it made me even more excited to read the full book! I can't wait to see where the fake relationship between Luc and Oliver will go.....

I discovered the writing of Alexis Hal through Boyfriend material and since then have laughed my through three other novels by this author plus occasionally got a little bit emotional. I can tell from the few chapters available that I'm also going to love Husband material. I cannot wait to be able to read the full book.

The first five chapters of Husband Material have me excited and honestly a little scared to read the whole book in August. I know Alexis is going to ripped my heart out and then put it back together in the best way possible. I love the cast of characters in this story. Luc and Oliver are perfection. Their friends provide a hilarious backdrop. I really cannot wait to have the finished copy in my hands.

I am so incredibly excited to read this whole book!!! I just love the whole cast of characters and how richly they're all written. I can feel my own anxieties and insecurities mirrored on the page in different ways amongst Luc and Oliver. I love how realistic they are!! But my heart squeezes in happiness when I read this. Boyfriend Material was so beautiful in how it had me feeling nostalgic for the rom coms of the 90s and 00s. Husband Material is no different.

I loved this preview! I'm so excited for the full book!! The interactions between the characters had me screaming already. I missed them so much and the first few chapters didn't disapoint!

Yes, I can’t wait to read the whole book! My favorite couple back again! Really really looking forward to this one!

Thank you, NetGalley for the preview ARC in exchange for an honest review. The book is set to publish on August 2, 2022.

This preview of 'Husband Material' features the first five chapters of the novel. It's been two years since what has happened in 'Boyfriend Material' and coincidentally I read that book two years ago in 2020. It had become a favorite of mine, balancing drama and humor in a way I love to see it, and it seems like this book is going to be the same! Yay! Although it's been a hot minute since I read that book, within the beginning of 'Husband Material' I was flooded with memory and recollection of the book's content and what I loved about it.

As a sequel, it does a great job reminding the reader of the characters and their antics very naturally in the beginning chapters if one hasn't read the first book recently. I love Luc and Oliver's relationship, I love Alex so much and I hope we see Miffy again soon! The humor in context and dialogue is laugh-out-loud funny, and I'm so glad to continue on with Luc's mad life and where this will take us. I need more, more, more of everything this series can give! I'm so excited for this when it comes out!

This is an honest review of a 5-chapter preview given to me through NetGalley.

In Boyfriend Material, Luc and Oliver went from fake dating to real falling in love, and after two years of dating, they are still going strong in Husband Material. They’re on top of the world, but for every up there’s a down.

(03/13/2022): I love how, while the characters of Luc and Oliver are still the same boys we know and love, their development and maturation as individuals and as a couple is clearly shown. The humor is still just as on point as it was in the first book, and despite being only five chapters, this book is already so engaging (I live for drama). I’m very excited to get my hands on a full-length copy of this book when it comes out, and I will update this partial review when that happens!

I just read a preview of the first four chapters of Husband Material and loved every word. It took me right back to the world of Luc and Oliver as if time never passed. How am I going to wait for the August release?! Preordered.

So disappointed..... that this was just a sample and not the entire book! Can't wait to see what comes next for Luc and Oliver!

I need more!! I loved Boyfriend Material and now the first five chapters of Husband Material are so good I can’t wait for the rest!!!

WOWOWOWOW!!
I C ANT WAIITTTTTTT IM DYING HERE!
The minute I finished book one i KNEW I needed a second book!!!!

Incredibly excited to read the rest of this- the first book is one of my all-time favorites and I can't wait to be swept up in Lucien and Oliver again.

I loved Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall so when I saw this I had to download it immediately! The release date for this book has already been marked in my calender and I'm really excited. The writing so far is great and just like I expected it to be. I fell into the story instantly and I was really disappointed when the 5 chapters were over.
I can't wait to read the whole book and dive back into Oliver and Luciens Love Story! :)
