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.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Funny, cute and concerningly accurate to how anxiety causes one's brain to act. Luc and Oliver are adorable and I found the whole thing really pleasant. The fake dating trope down well.

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 stars5/5Absolutely 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: 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: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A delightful read filled with laugh out loud funny moments.
- 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 stars5/5Un 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: 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 stars5/5Absolutely love the characters. The story, the progression, the angst. One of those up there with the best. Love the narration too.
- 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!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was very cute and made me feel happy feelings about people and stuff
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Witty and realistic are the two words I'd use to describe this book.
There might be a few minor imperfections, but this is definitely among the best books I've read so far. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed listening to the narrator of this book. The story was Luc's perspective was really well done. I enjoyed how messy and real the characters were. Cozy read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5couldn't stop listening to this. absolutely loved it. Obsessed. You know. In a totally healthy way
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Reminded me so much of Red White and Royal blue. However, Boyfriend Material is charming in its own way.
A delightful read with a handful of funny bits. I enjoyed when the protagonist spoke directly to the reader for comedic relief.
As an audiobook, I loved it. The voicing was perfect. Sincerely wished this voice actor had done RWRB — that audiobook is a travesty, an absolute crime.
