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.

I am so glad I was blessed with a preview of Husband Material by Alexis Hall. I look forward to reading the full novel in August. A job well done by Alexis Hall. 🙌🏼

I loved this preview! It had been a while since I read the previous book and I was worried that I wouldn't remember the characters, but as soon as I started reading everything came back to me and it was fun to be back in this world with these people. I'm interested to see how the story continues.

I should learn that these previews are the worst! I just want the rest of the book and am so mad I have to stop!
I love Oliver and Luc and having to wait for the rest of the book must violate the Geneva convention or something serious that Oliver could explain to Luc.

Thank you NetGalley for the preview of this book in return for an honest review. Husband Material promises to take things up a notch from what Boyfriend Material prepared us for. I can't wait for old favorites to return to the page and break my heart once again. The preview is also incredibly funny and calls back the best of BM.

Husband Material starts off with a bang, or rather with a crocheted vulva hat and a quick reintroduction of many favorite characters from the previous book, Boyfriend Material. The book is again written in first person from Luc’s perspective, and the voice and persona are entirely consistent with the Luc we know and love. Likewise, Oliver is so perfectly Oliver, from the first articulate and anxious chain of texts. Within these first five chapters, we’ve got top-notch banter, a spectacular joke-misfire with Alex Twaddle and the evolution of Rhys Jones Bowen as the world’s most out of touch social media influencer; kitchen misadventures and an “I like you” that is beyond sexy; drama brewing for Bridget that for once doesn’t involve a publishing disaster; and a realistic picture of a healthy, well-developed relationship that is two years along, with main characters who have grown and matured but are still carrying some unresolved baggage from loose ends familiar from the first book. This was such a delight, and I can’t wait for the book to release in August – definitely going to be a “stock up on favorite snacks and take the day off work because ain’t nothing else happening today” kind of release day.

Sequels make me nervous, especially to books that are strong stand-alones. I've been burned way too many times. So when Alexis announced Husband Material I was terrified. Boyfriend Material is up in my top 5 favorite books of all time and I didn't want that story to be tainted by a bad sequel.
I am absolutely thrilled the preview of Husband Material was made available for everyone to read. It took away all of my anxieties and fears of Husband Material not living up to the hype. The only disappointment is how long I have to wait to read the rest of it.

I’ve previously read and enjoyed Boyfriend Material and am excited to read Husband Material, but it doesn’t come out until August! So rude, but this 5 chapter preview might tide me over. Luc’s funny, self-deprecating internal monologue is hilarious, and I love his banter with Oliver. Come faster August!

I loved this preview of Husband Material and am eagerly awaiting the book’s release in August! I can’t wait to see more of Oliver and Luc’s relationship.

This is just a preview, but man does it set us up to be GREEDY for the entire book! I have been anxiously awaiting the sequel to Boyfriend Material for over a year, and Alexis Hall is not going to disappoint! I'm really excited to see how the rest of this book plays out, especially since it's supposedly modeled on "Four Weddings & a Funeral." Hall has definitely kept the spark alive in this book - the characters, banter, and pacing at all 110% on point.

Loved meeting Luc and Oliver in Boyfriend Material, and I could not wait for Husband Material! The first 5 chapters were such a tease and I can't wait for more! The quirky friends and co-workers that I loved from the first book are back in full force, and the banter between Luc and Oliver is perfection, as always. Luc's current dilemma is one I think many readers will relate to and I can't wait to see how things turn out for Luc and our favorite barrister!

I read Boyfriend Material last year and really liked it, so I was excited for the sequel. However I often find that romance sequels can be very hit or miss. Sometimes there is not enough of a story to tell in the sequel and it becomes mostly fan-service and a way to share a very extended epilogue.
I’ve read the first 5 chapters now from NetGalley and can say that is definitely not the case with Husband Material. In the first chapter we are introduced to several points of conflict that I expect will be the focus of the book, so right from the start there is something driving the story.
We do get reunited with all of the characters from book one and the writing is just as laugh-out-loud hilarious as the first book. I have reread these chapters several times and chapter 2 in particular never fails to make me laugh out loud.
After reading this I’m even more excited for the book and will definitely pick it up when it releases!

I can not believe I have to wait until August for the book in its entirety! It’s sheer perfection. Luc and Oliver having table breaking sex all around the house? Yes, I’m here for it, as well as the drama that is sure to commence.

The preview of this was great, am looking forward to reading the rest when it releases! Note for readers: definitely not a stand alone - will need to have read previous book, “Boyfriend Material” as the book immediately continues with all of the characters from that book. Am looking forward to reading all about Oliver and Luc finding their HEA!
Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the early sneak peak of “Husband Material.”
