Well, I don't have much to said for 5 chapters, BUT I LOVE IT, I have been waiting for this sequel, and I am pretty sure I'm going to love it for what I read in the preview!!! I'm so excited! <3

Alexis Hall's 'Husband Material' is hands down one of my most anticipated releases, and this preview did not disappoint. We get a nice glance into how our favorite pair have been doing since the end of 'Boyfriend Matieral', along with a set up for what's presumably to come as the main conflict of this book. I'm so excited to read this book and I'm super glad that there was a preview on Netgalley!

This little preview sets up the novel wonderfully! Luc and Oliver are going strong but it seems like Bridge's relationship might be failing apart! Plus, Luc's backstabbing ex is back in the picture, asking Luc to attend his wedding so they can bury the hatchet. Luc is still super insecure and anxious and Oliver can be incredibly high strung. It's everything Boyfriend Material was and more, with what I can only hope is a happy ending.

This excerpt was a good taster for what was to come. It is nice to see the continuing dynamic of our two male leads as they continue on in their relationship asfter a period of time has passed.

Their dynamic was always one that I enjoyed, with relalistic themes portrayed in each individual whilst learning to coincide mentally. This small exceprt left much to desire, only in terms of content because I need more but in terms of knowing where the story is going.

So far I enjoyed the content delivered and hope their is further growth and development with our guys.

This preview made me both excited and anxious to read the rest of this book! I cannot wait for the full book! This felt like a continuation or Boyfriend Material and I adored that book so much. Cannot wait to read the rest of this book.

The excerpt I read was a lovely continuation of Boyfriend Material. The heart, the humor, the quirky cast of characters were all there. It was so difficult to start reading because I knew I only had 5 chapters and normally I would devour the whole book in one sitting. But it was completely worth getting a small taste of this delightful book. Can't wait to read the whole thing!


*Review on the first 5 Chapters of Husband Material provided by NetGalley

I'll go hide my head in shame
I didn't care for the writing in this it felt otp. Like omg by amazing barrister boyfriend. My barrister boyfriend ...why couldn't they just use their basic names instead of full blown descriptions every time.
Exerpt below
My amazing barrister boyfriend who still felt like an amazing barrister boyfriend after two whole years. My amazing barrister boyfriend who— on account of the amazing barrister part rather than the boyfriend part—was currently running late.
I just don't think the writing is for me I love a good mm but this was a no for me

Boyfriend Material was one of my top 3 favorite books that I read last year, so I was thrilled to learn a sequel is coming. Oh my goodness, this teaser did not disappoint! Hall's writing continues to be laugh out loud funny, the back and forth banter is still incredible, Luc's inner monologues are amazing and even further develops his character, and all of the supporting characters are back and better than ever. Not only does Luc have a great group of friends, but his work colleagues may be even more fun to read about. I just can't get enough of these characters!

I cannot recommend Boyfriend Material enough, and it seems like Husband Material may be on the same level - cannot wait to read the full book!

I was nervous that I wouldn’t remember enough about the cast of characters from Boyfriend Material to truly enjoy the sequel, but the five chapters in this preview thankfully seem crafted with this worry in mind. The glimpse of Husband Material did a great job of reminding me what I loved about the original book, as well as getting me invested in the plot of the sequel. The humor in particular was fantastic, and I can’t wait to read more of the witty writing when the full book is released.

This preview made me so nervous for this book! I've been looking forward to it, but the issues in the first few chapters between Luc and Oliver feel very false for a couple with their emotional intimacy or any couple who'd been together that long and Luc seems to have done a lot of reverting from the character growth he'd achieved by the end of Boyfriend Material. Hopefully the whole book will resolve everything gracefully but this preview really tempered my enthusiasm for the release of the full book.

Husband Material is a wonderful continuation of the story of Boyfriend Material. If you liked Boyfriend Material, you will like this one as well. It feels very much the same. Luc is very much the same disaster he has ever been, but happier and with slightly better coping mechanisms. And Oliver is still the same dream boyfriend who is quietly trying to deal with his problems. Of course, in these first five chapters, many more problems arise which feel very much like a continuation of Boyfriend Material. Especially the character arcs had room to be expanded after the first book and so far it very much looks like that is what is happening for this one.

When I first heard about a second part coming out I wasn't sure whether I needed a sequel. I was happy with the ending of Boyfriend Material. This preview, however, is making me question that. Some interesting arcs are being opened and I am curious to see how they will develop.

I just read the first five chapters (thanks NetGalley for the preview!) and I'm so eager to read this book. Just from these chapters, I can see how it brings in the best parts of Boyfriend Material while introducing equally silly but heavy obstacles for Luc and Oliver. Looking forward to August!

This preview had left me wanting more of the story and honestly I can’t wait to read the full story on these two characters and their adventures!

This just cemented my love for Boyfriend Material! It felt like I didn’t even take a break between the two! Hall had me laughing from the first page. I need more!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sending me the first 5 chapters of this book.
The first 5 chapters just leave you wanting more. I'm beyond excited for this release and already have it on pre order. New favorite couple? ✓
I can't wait to read what happens next.

Based on the first few chapters "Husband Material" will continue Luc and Oliver's love story in a way befitting to the first novel. I hope to see more of their personal development, and see more of thief relationship. I loved "Boyfriend Material" because it was a book about learning how to be loved, and it seems that the sequel will be a book about learning how to love. I look forward to reading the rest of the novel!

I really enjoyed the first 5 chapter preview. I can't wait to read the full book!

I'm really looking forward to seeing more from Luc and Oliver.

I was so excited to get a preview of the first five chapters of Husband Material, I recently finished reading Boyfriend Material, the fist book in the series, and loved it! So I was ready to find out what happened next with Luc and Oliver! So far, in this 5 chapter preview, a lot is going on in Luc’s life! I’m happy that Luc and Oliver are still together, and happy in a REAL relationship! The last chapter ended on a cliffhanger, so I am eagerly awaiting to read the rest of this book when it comes out! I need to find out about Bridge and Tom, and how Oliver is feeling with Luc being such a good friend to Bridge during her time of need!

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC preview!

A fantastic extension of Alexis Hall's Boyfriend Material (which if you haven't read yet, you absolutely should at your soonest convenience). The character development and humor is ever-present in these first five chapters, and I can't wait to see what's in store for Luc and Oliver. Counting down to the release of the full book.

It was so nice to get a sneak preview of this highly anticipated sequel. Luc and Oliver make an adorkable couple, and it's going to be fun to watch how they work through more mature relationship drama.
