Much of the book's humor comes across as forced, from Luc's disastrous cooking to a running gag about a photocopier. A work colleague's wedding comes third, and feels the least integral to the plot. It also inspires Luc to first accidentally, then properly, propose to Oliver. Next, Luc gets invited to his ex's wedding, which fuels his anxiety but provides an opportunity for closure. The first nuptials belong to Luc's BFF, Bridget, and strained comedy ensues when she fears her fianc, Tom, is cheating on her. Set two years after rom-com sensation Boyfriend Material, Hall's unnecessary sequel sends reformed wild child Luc O'Donnell and his straitlaced boyfriend, Oliver Blackwood, to four weddings and a funeral.

"FAKE DATING, REAL FEELINGS, BEST JOKES."-Olivia Waite, award-winning author, for Boyfriend Material I'm screaming, people!"-Sonali Dev, award-winning author, for Boyfriend Material "Every once in a while you read a book that you want to SCREAM FROM ROOFTOPS about. "The apotheosis of the rom-com."- Entertainment Weekly, A+ Review, for Boyfriend Material "Brilliance on every single page."-Christina Lauren, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, for Boyfriend Material Good thing Oliver is such perfect HUSBAND MATERIAL. But it'll take more than four weddings, a funeral, and a hotly contested rainbow balloon arch to get these two from "I don't know what I'm doing" to "I do".
Now it seems like everyone around them is getting married, and Luc's feeling the social pressure to propose. In BOYFRIEND MATERIAL, Luc and Oliver met, pretended to fall in love, fell in love for real, dealt with heartbreak and disappointment and family and friends…and somehow figured out a way to make it work. WANTED: One (very real) husband, nowhere near perfect but desperately trying his best "Our favourite chaos demon & stern brunch daddy return in this delicious, ridiculous, and often poignant romcom about all the ways love can grow." -Talia Hibbert, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author
