galacticvampire 's review for:
Husband Material
by Alexis Hall
funny
lighthearted
Boyfriend Material is one of the silly and light-hearted contemporary romances I enjoyed the most reading, so I went into Husband Material skeptic that a sequel could do it justice.
Romance sequels are often underwhelming cash-grabs, adding unnecessary drama just to stir a plot for another book, and inadvertently cheapening the original conclusion. But while I still highly prefer the first instalment, this book works surprisingly well.
At that point in life where all friends, foes, and co-workers are getting married and having babies, Lucian finds himself facing his own future and decisions he needs to make. But there isn't always a straightforward, or easy, answer to that, specially with people as complicated as him and Oliver.
Oliver and Luc have completely believable issues, that don't stir from random misunderstandings or out-of-pocket decisions. They feel real, and touching, and it's one of the things that I enjoyed the most im the first book. Specially because it keeps me invested on the relationship instead of wondering why the hell they would stay together in the first place.
I will also say that the audiobook works extremely well, and the humour sky-rocketed with the delivery of Lucian's internal monologue. It was an incredible experience and I love how unique and complex their relationship is (and what a great ending!)
