Boyfriend Material (London Calling) By Alexis Hall Cover Image

Boyfriend Material (London Calling) (Paperback)

By Alexis Hall
$14.99

One of my very favorite romances!! There’s not a lot of books that cause me to physically laugh out loud, but this is one of those books. With its snort-inducing, razor-sharp wit, it had me smiling the whole time. This romance features our favorite trope, fake dating, with wonderfully weird characters, hilarious and heartfelt scenes, and a truly memorable relationship. Endlessly charming, and also delightfully British!

Perfect for folks who love a fade-to-black style romance, I can’t recommend this queer love story enough :)

(Don't miss the sequel, Husband Material!)
