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: 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 stars5/5Un 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: 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 stars5/5I 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: 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: 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. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5couldn't stop listening to this. absolutely loved it. Obsessed. You know. In a totally healthy way
- 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 stars5/5Delightfully charming and laugh out loud funny. Could not put it down.
