And as a result, Luc and Oliver’s story ended with both characters having a certain amount that they still needed to work on and so while I’m often very much an “I’ve told that story and it’s over now” writer, when I had the opportunity to work on a sequel for Luc and Oliver, I felt there was definitely more to tell. I have a tendency to write "Happy For Now" endings-it’s not a hard rule but I’m a big believer in the idea that a relationship doesn’t need to last literally forever to be important or meaningful. ![]() What prompted you to return to Luc and Oliver’s story in Husband Material?

The very specific kind of romantic comedy that Britain exported in the late 1990s and early 2000s. ![]() What was your inspiration for Boyfriend Material? His latest book, Husband Material, is a sequel to 2020’s Boyfriend Material, and he recently talked about both books with Daryl Maxwell for the LAPL Blog. Alexis Hall writes books in the southeast of England, where he lives entirely on a diet of tea and Jaffa Cakes. ![]()
