Boyfriend Material (London Calling #1) by Alexis Hall @quicunquevult






Synopsis: When tangentially ― and reluctantly ― famous Luc O'Donnell is forced back into the spotlight in the worst possible way, he has to think fast if he wants to save his floundering reputation. Enter Oliver Blackwood. Stunningly handsome and effortlessly put together, Oliver is successful, an ethical vegetarian, and has never appeared in a scandal mag evenonce. In other words, he's perfect boyfriend material and exactly what Luc needs to appear respectable again. But when their fake relationship starts to feel like real romance, Luc and Oliver might have to consider whether they're willing to fight for the truth of their new relationship…scandal, and consequences, be damned.

My Review: This was an adorable romcom with LGBT themes.  I loved the characters and the story and all of the romance.  I so need book two! I laughed so hard at some parts and cried at others.  This is a wonderful story for those who want a sweet story that you won't be able to put down. 











Review

"How? How was this book written? My vote is witchcraft. What a study in character development. It’s a how-to without even trying. I’m going to treat this novel like I do my favorite cardigan and buy 5 copies for when one wears out. Everyone needs to read this. Brilliance on every single page. Hilarious, witty, tender, and stunning. I LOVE THIS BOOK." ― Christina Lauren, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

"Alexis Hall is the undisputed master of romantic comedy." ― 
Jenny Holiday, USA Today bestselling author of Mermaid Inn

"Every once in a while you read a book that you want to SCREAM FROM ROOFTOPS about. I'm screaming, people!" ― 
Sonali Dev, award-winning author of Pride, Prejudice and Other Flavors

"Alexis Hall's 
Boyfriend Material perfectly balances laugh-out-loud-while-reading-alone-in-an-empty-room with those-aren't-tears-in-my-eyes-just-allergies." ― Kris Ripper, author of the Scientific Method Universe

"FAKE DATING, REAL FEELINGS, BEST JOKES." ― 
Olivia Waite, author of The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics

"
Boyfriend Material is the joyfully queer British romcom escape book I didn't know I needed. It's absurdly funny and swoonily romantic, with a sharp edge of wit and observation that keeps the story bounding along. An unbridled 'one-more-chapter-oh-no-it's-3am' delight." ― KJ Charles

"This is a triumph." ― 
Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review

"Downright hilarious...Hall achieves a true balance between romance and comedy, delightfully succeeding at both. " ― 
Booklist, STARRED Review

"I’m in awe of Alexis Hall’s talent. I don’t want the book to end." ―
