3.25⭐ bc the ending was pretty lackluster and it's the part I remember the most.
At its core Boyfriend Material is a formulaic romance novel, down to the contract lovers to maybe lovers to fighting/breaking up and making up by dropping the L-word within the last 10 pages. I think the best thing it has going for it is the wit and humor that particularly shines in the middle of the book.
Unfortunately I didn't like Luc much, but he was pretty great in the middle of the book, the start and ending were a bit rough. Oliver could use more depth instead of just shoving a list of facts in at the end.
When the romance happened it was cute as hell. I'm glad this book and others like it are bringing more LGBTQ+ books into the mainstream book community.
