Boyfriend Material

Named One of the Best Books of the Year!

Book Summary: 

Luc O’Donnell is tangentially—and reluctantly—famous. His rock star parents split when he was young, and the father he’s never met spent the next twenty years cruising in and out of rehab. Now that his dad’s making a comeback, Luc’s back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything.

To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice, normal relationship…and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He’s a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and he’s never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. In other words: perfect boyfriend material. Unfortunately, apart from being gay, single, and really, really in need of a date for a big event, Luc and Oliver have nothing in common. So they strike a deal to be publicity-friendly (fake) boyfriends until the dust has settled. Then they can go their separate ways and pretend it never happened.

But the thing about fake-dating is that it can feel a lot like real-dating. And that’s when you get used to someone. Start falling for them. Don’t ever want to let them go.

My Review:

Another incredible LGBTQ+ rom-com (again – consider this your warning/disclaimer if you take issue). This book really dives into how looks can be deceiving, second chances, and how we are all guilty of self sabotage (and that we are also capable of overcoming it). To be absolutely honest, the one thing that did bother me about this book was the juvenile behavior of Luc. I would forget his age because his reactions were those of someone in their late teens/early twenties versus someone who was (I believe) 28!
