About this audiobook
Editor's Note
Entirely engrossing…
The slightly famous son of a rock star needs to repair his reputation in order to keep his job. He decides to get a fake boyfriend, one who will make him look nearly respectable. Misunderstandings, miscommunications, a panoply of annoying but helpful friends, and a slow-burn romance makes this book entirely engrossing.

I didn't dislike the book as a whole. It had some funny moments. The plot idea was nice but I just didn't connect with the characters all that much. I get that both Luc and Oliver were flawed but I just didn't like them. And I didn't get attached to any of the side characters either, mostly because they lacked substance. I mean some were a bit "quirky" but even that bothered me, because I got the feeling the real people they could have 'imitated' were being made fun of.
I guess I might have liked the book more if it didn't drag on for over 400 pages. It was way to long for to little that actually happened.1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It did drag on for a bit in a ping pong kinda way but it's well written, witty, insightfully and oh so funny. Worth it.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I am blown away by the quality and the surprising aspects of this book!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I loved the book but felt the ending was a little rushed. However! the narrator had a wonderful voice and the rest of the book made me laugh out loud multiple times. really good one to sleep to :)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved every part of it . It was so much of me there and so much of my true love finding. Can relate.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent character voices, both in the writing and voice acting sense. I felt like the author really understands the characters they created, they are all very real and getting to know each one is a joy. Luc’s personality in particular is nuisanced, I think his story is very engaging and full of wisdom for those who are open to it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The first time I listened to this I was not in the right mood and I thought, meh. But I came back and listened again and LOVED it
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Que librito!
Estuvo divertido, me encantaron los personajes, Luc (lo adore, fue cobarde, fue maduro, llego dijo verdades y se fue) 10/10 Oliver (me sacó canas los últimos caps, pero bueno, recapacitó)
Lo mejor de todo LA NARRACIÓN, ha sido una experiencia increíble, este audiobook se convirtió en mi novela y de verdad sentía que había más de un actor de voz, creo que parte de que me gustara este libro ha sido por la actuación de voz! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is SO good. It’s real and honest and so so so funny. It’s a story about two broken people putting each other back together without meaning to. The voice acting is top notch. It’s sweet and beautiful and human. I laughed and cried so hard. Highly recommend.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely lovely! Boyfriend Material is witty, thoughtful, and has great characters. Luc starts out a complete mess with terrible self esteem, but things slowly improve. He and Oliver are good for eachother, their friends and Luc’s mom are amazing, and there’s lots of satisfying emotional development. It has one of the best first kisses ever written, and the narrator is superb—distinctly different, believable voices for every character.
Definitely five stars. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A cosy lqbt listen. A nice book to listen too
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Fun book! Great voice actor and pretty funny dialogue. A little on the young adult side, but still a great lighthearted listen
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5YES YES YES 1000 TIMES YES! Omg omg omg omg
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Oh I loved this so much. I’m still reading, but I’ve laughed out loud several times already. I’m hooked! What great characters and wonderful narration.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Enjoy every minute of reading, I mean listening to this ebook. Makes the long boring morning run/walk past much faster and more enjoyable. Love the story and the narrator is funny as hell. Recommended highly is you’re a believer of impossible messy romantic endings.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5this story was so cute and tender ?? and the narrator did an amazing job
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Spectacular story! I couldn't put it down. Highly recommend to everyone
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Boring teenage drama with ever-brooding characters. I finished it only because I was on a plane with nothing better to do.
Oliver's voice and intonation were extremely unlikable. It reminded me of Bus Rodent (aka guy with crooked teeth) from Fleebag. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I mostly want to say, wonderful. Witty, sensitive, exciting and touching. In the moments when I had to stop listening I waited to go back and listen. And the narrator does a wonderful job. The women are a little weak with him, but the men are great. warmly recommended. I'll be back again.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Un libro increíblemente divertido, y a la vez crudo con muchos sentimientos. Me fascinó lo real que se sintió. El narrador hace un excelente trabajo, adaptando las voces distintas de los personajes, y me encantó que buscaran a alguien británico.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this book so much that might just have to read it again ?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was so cute. Funny and charming and full of sage life advice in comic, quotable sound bites. I loved Joe Jameson's voices and accents, a really animated performance!
