Husband Material

An Instant USA Today Bestseller!

"Our favourite chaos demon & stern brunch daddy return in this delicious, ridiculous, and often poignant romcom about all the ways love can grow." —Talia Hibbert, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

They fake-dated their way into love. Now it’s time to face the one thing scarier than falling for someone—figuring out how to stay in love.

From Alexis Hall, the USA Today and Washington Post bestselling author of Boyfriend Material, comes a hilariously heartfelt sequel about love, identity, and the absolute madness of wedding season.

Husband Material reunites readers with Luc O’Donnell and Oliver Blackwood as they navigate the next chapter in their beautifully chaotic relationship. They're committed. They're happy. But when everyone around them starts tying the knot—often in extravagant, anxiety-inducing fashion—Luc begins to question whether "forever" needs a formal dress code.

This isn’t a story about falling in love. It’s about everything that comes after: the growing pains, the missteps, the tender, terrifying truth of building a life together in a world full of expectations.

You’ll love its brilliantly British rom-com voice; full of sharp humor, emotional vulnerability, and authentic LGBTQIA+ representation. It’s perfect for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue and The Charm Offensive.
