Boyfriend Material

By Alexis Hall
Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A feel-good queer romantic comedy that New York Times and USA Today bestselling author CHRISTINA LAUREN calls "hilarious, witty, tender, and stunning."

Luc needs a fake boyfriend. Oliver needs a date. It's the perfect plan… until real feelings get involved.

Luc O'Donnell is a certified disaster. Tabloid drama, a wayward rock-star dad, and a trail of messy relationships have left his public image in ruins. The fix? A staged romance with the most respectable man he knows: Oliver Blackwood—uptight, principled, and infuriatingly perfect.

It's supposed to be fake. Neither of them expects the awkward photo ops and staged brunches to turn into something that feels real. But as the lines blur, and secrets slip through carefully built walls, Luc must face the question he's always avoided: what if someone could love him—exactly as he is?

You'll love its brilliantly British rom-com voice, full of sharp humor and emotional vulnerability and authentic LGBTQIA+ representation. It's perfect for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue and The Charm Offensive, with its grumpy/sunshine dynamics and slow-burn chemistry.

"It's a fun, frothy quintessentially British romcom about a certified chaos demon and a stern brunch daddy with a heart of gold faking a relationship."—New York Times bestselling author Talia Hibbert

Boyfriend Material Reviews

3.5
“I did really like this book when I first started it. First half was amazingggg and definitely kept me anticipating and excited for what was next, however, after the annoying and unnecessary up and downs within the relationship it became a real slew to finish and just lost my interest. Characters are relatable and likable. Setting is nice and makes sense within the context of the story.”
“It was cute and had some fun. Nothing crazy.”
“This book made reading a chore. The characters were so deeply unlikable with very little redeemable qualities. The plot was so far fetched that even I couldn’t fully get behind it and I read omegaverse on ao3. Save yourself the time and mental fatigue.”
