Although I enjoyed Boyfriend Material, I was not in the majority of folks that loved it. I adored Oliver, however, and was very excited to read some more with him. I really like that Husband Material shows how much Luc and Oliver have grown as both people and as a couple, and it was fun to see some of our old friends from the first book!
I've read a few other reviews with people saying the first half didn't feel like Luc and Oliver but the last half did and I disagree, haha. I really loved the first half of this book, and I was so glad to be connecting more with this book than the first. Then, the last 15% or so switched it up on me and I just wasn't enjoying myself anymore.
If you liked Boyfriend Material, I do think you'll enjoy this as well. Luc and Oliver are still Luc and Oliver, getting into crazy scenarios and squabbling and being in love. There's still some of the most frustrating joke banter (Come on, Twaddle!), and it does have a lot of the same feels as the first book. For me, though, the ending just dampened my enjoyment of it.
