This book, like the prior, is longer than your average rom-com, but the pages seem to just fly by. This is all sounding very negative! Let me be clear: I think that Hall has done it again, created two vivid, lovely, queer as rainbows (but not only rainbows, of course) protagonists whose travails I am deeply invested in. I went back and forth on whether I should–full disclosure, I did not end up doing so–but having now done so, I think I’d have been a bit kinder in my assessment of this book, and Luc/Oliver in general. I would also recommend anyone who hasn’t re-(re-)read Boyfriend Material since it came out to re-read it before plunging into this novel. I don’t mean to knock this book at all, but I will say that reading it (and wanting to give it a four) made me realize that Boyfriend Materialshould have been a five (that has been rectified, even before my re-read) (re-re-read, I should say).
