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.

Alexis Hall does not disappoint in this preview of his sequel to Boyfriend Material.. I fell in love with Luc and Oliver's love story, and the palpable love is felt in just these first five chapters. I'm excited to see how these two fumble around their relationship during wedding season. I'm also excited about the storylines for Bridge and Tom, and anxiously waiting for Odile to make an appearance!

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.

The first five chapters of 'Husband Material' reminded me of all the reasons why I loved 'Boyfriend Material' so, so much. All my favourite characters are back, funny and loveable as ever. Alexis Hall's wonderfully light and humourous writing shines through those first few chapters.
I was eager for August 2nd, but now, I'm desperate. I need this book, and I need it right now.

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.

Since this is just a preview, I don't have much to say. I really liked it, but I felt like there was just a lot of unneeded repetition (like the "ungendered" words and stuff like that). Besides that, I am forever a fan of Oliver and Luc. I think I am liking this plot so far, especially with this revisitation to Miles and the past! Excited to see what is to come.

A bit difficult to review a preview, but this taste sure was tantalizing! I loved seeing these characters a bit later in time. They're all on the edge of caricature, like a '90s rom com, and I'm so fond of them. I definitely want Bridget to be okay, and I'm curious to see what the central difficulty will be for Luc and Oliver. An auto-buy for sure!

I don't really know how to review a preview except to say YES, THANK YOU, MORE PLEASE. Can't wait to read the rest of this book in August!

I can’t wait to read the whole book ! It’s always a gamble to like a sequel but this one is so promising
