So, a while back, I bought a copy to Alexis Hall's Husband Material, since I enjoyed his previous volume a bit.
We're back to listening to Lucian whine, although at this point, he and Oliver have been dating 2 years, so none of it is particularly high angst. We do, however, deal with Luc proposing and Oliver accepting, and then a mad dash through 3 weddings, a funeral, and Luc and Oliver's nuptials to round out the event.
We start with best friend Bridge's wedding, which ends up being a trainwreck, as the venue burns down a week beforehand, which requires relocating to a friend of Luc's mom's estate.
Then we get the gay wedding of Luc's ex, the one who sold him to the tabloids for a tidy sum.
And the wedding of Luc's coworker, where we get a view of CoE wedding rites.
Luc and Oliver have dinner with Oliver's parents, wherein Oliver finally tells his father what he can do to himself. Oliver's father responds by dying.
Which leads to the funeral portion.
And then we have Luc and Oliver's wedding, which doesn't quite go as planned.
Honestly, while I didn't love this one, and indeed, got kind of annoyed with the finale, it was readable, and there were some rather cathartic moments tucked in with the bad rom-com set up. It's not perfect by any means, but it provided what I needed in a moment.
