Lucien (Luc) O’Donnell is an absolute hot mess. I read it in a day, absolutely captivated from start to finish, and enjoyed every moment! Oh, I loved this book! A witty, intelligent, delightfully entertaining m/m opposites-attract romantic comedy with a fake relationship setup and a fantastic duo of flawed but fabulous heroes that you cannot help but cheer for. If you liked Red White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston or Heart Stopperby Alice Oseman, I say pick this up.5 hilarious and wonderfully entertaining stars! I found it just grounded enough in serious issues, but light enough to escape into. I gave Boyfriend Material 5/5 stars on Goodreads. ” Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall My Rating And Overall Thoughts: The one thing that brings me the deepest joy. I’m conscious this could be rather burdensome to hear, but you remain the thing I have most chosen for myself. Not a super tear jerker, but I liked that it ended well. Thankfully the chapters were really short, so it didn’t take a super long time to get into the plot. Luc has a very different narration style which took some getting used to. The book took about 5 or 6 chapters to get into. (Oliver is a lawyer, which is looked down on for some reason by his parents. They have belittled Oliver for years for not being like his older brother Christopher, who is a doctor. Oliver’s father calls him a gay slur at a party in front of everyone. Oliver’s parents (who are very rich and stuck up) are incredibly homo-phobic. I want a short story or novella about her and her best friend Judy (along with Judy’s many dogs) watching Rupaul’s Drag Race on a Tuesday evening. Fairclough, Luc’s boss, is an anti-social dung beetle scientist who is utterly wacky. (My favorite character of that group was Bridget, who was the lone straight friend who worked in publishing, who always seemed to be on the brink of being fired.) Dr. Luc also has a band of friends that are queer that support him and understand him. There’s a running gag in the book where Luc tries to tell Alex jokes and Alex doesn’t understand the joke. Alex Twaddle, one of Luc’s coworkers, is a bit ditzy and hoity-toity. The side characters made me laugh until I cried. They didn’t like each other at first and so they are initially very snarky toward each other.
The only problem is it that it starts to not feel fake. To repair his image, Luc enlists a friend of a friend to be his fake boyfriend.
Luc O’Donnell is the son of 80’s pop-stars, one day after leaving a club he is pictured sprawled out on the ground outside a club.
