I absolutely, positively adored this sneak peek into Husband Material. I was completely smitten with it and cannot wait for the full story.

At the end I just placed my hand to my chest and sighed a sweet, contented sigh.

I adore the writing style Hall has, it is witty and full of intellectual banter. The banter in this book is not less amazing. The absolutely insane and always comical situations our characters find themselves in leads to such enjoyment of their stories. I left this preview very invested in what will happen in Oliver and Luc's story!

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for this preview copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

So so good! I have been waiting for Husband Material for so long, and these 5 chapters just made me want to read the whole book even more!

I had a chance to read this while waiting for an appointment, and this preview was perfect. It was so nice to revisit familiar characters from Boyfriend Material and see what they've been up to. I am pleased to report that personalities are the same, which led to several zany mishaps within the first 5 chapters. Luc and Oliver have a strong relationship and work well together, but there's still plenty of "opposites attract" energy. I am so excited to read Husband Material!

Sequel to beloved Boyfriend Material. The rhythm of the previous book and characters were immediately familiar in this 5 chapter preview. Grabs the reader right away and looking forward to the full book in August.

I really loved “Boyfriend Material” so when I found out there was going to be a sequel, I knew I would love it too. I’ve missed the characters soo much, it was amazing to be able to read aboyt then again, even if it was just a glimpse. I was certain the author wouldn’t dissapoint and I was right! I was so caught up in the reading that I forgot I only could read the first 5 chapters!!

If you loved Boyfriend Material, you're going to adore Husband Material. From the first page, I was already grinning like an idiot because of how utterly delighted I was to be back with Lucien and his ridiculous self - I mean this in the most loving way possible. Five chapters are way too few, I read them as soon as I could and I cannot wait for the entire book. Getting to see Lucien and Oliver again two years later when they're in a very different place to most of the previous book is wonderful, and I'm really excited to see where they're going to go.

Husband material is one of my most anticipated reads of 2022, as boyfriend material is one of my favourite romances. These first 5 chapters show that Husband Material will surely live up to the amazing work Alexis Hall has created so far. I can’t wait to get my hands onto the full version.

This preview is such a tease and makes me want so much more! I love Luc and Oliver's relationship and find them to perfectly balance each other. I absolutely loved the first book and cannot wait to get my hands on the full sequel.

So excited to be back with these characters. I can't wait for the full book! Luc and Oliver are the perfect couple and ready for their next step. It's always a fun ride with Alexis Hall.

It was so nice to come back to this amazing world of Luc's disasters. I love the first book with all of my heart so reading this excerpt was like coming home from a long day at work, it was just splendid. Alexis Hall's writing is absolutely incredible as usual, full of wit and magic. Some people really dislike pop culture references in books, but I appreciate them, especially when something I know and love is mentioned.
I think that the first five chapters are nicely paced to make us excited and impatient for what's to come. At least I personally can't wait to get my hands on this book in August, because I already know it is going to be a hell of a ride, with the theme of Four Weddings and a Funeral theme we've got going on.
I'm really grateful I was able to read this in advance because now I know that I don't have to worry about the lower quality of the sequel (I feel like it's a common trend that the sequels are often disappointing).

I loved Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall, so I was thrilled with the chance to review the first 5 chapters of Husband Material. This story picks up two years after the end of Boyfriend Material with Luc and Oliver still happily together. But drama ensues when Luc's ex, who sold their life together to the press, returns inviting them to his wedding!
Luc and Oliver, despite having matured and built a stable happy life, are still the fun, neurotic characters they were in the first story. Reading the first five chapters felt like I was returning to a favorite vacation spot, fun and familiar, but a little different and exciting.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, and the preview of the sequel has me PUMPED! It has all the characters I loved in the first book, and it's full of my secret favorite thing... weddings! :)

It goes without saying that I'm jumping up and down in my room to get my hands on this book! August cannot come soon enough.

I feel like I was one of the only people in the world who wasn't absolutely blown away by Boyfriend Material, so I came into this preview for Husband Material without any sort of bias.

I loved the distinct and engaging voice used by Alexis Hall. It's a lovely LGBTQ novel for adults without feeling like, well, a boring adult novel. I feel like a lot of LGBTQ novels are for teens/young adults, and as someone who's older, having a novel aimed at my age-range is a relief.

Charming and entertaining!

I need this book and I need it now. I simply adored the first book, so I was ecstatic when I found out that there was going to be a sequel. And now, after reading this little preview, I am desperate to have the full book in my hands or on my e-reader. The tone, the characters, the dialogue, argh, everything was just perfect.

Truly, fully devastated to not have the rest of this book yet. The first five chapters had no right to make me so invested.
