About this ebook

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes...what was that, exactly?

Luc and Oliver have been through it all: fake dating to save Luc's career, I-guess-this-is-actually-for-real dating when all of that blew up spectacularly, (briefly) breaking up over irreconcilable differences, (definitively) getting back together over perfectly reconcilable everything else, (almost) getting married, (finally) moving in together, and ultimately celebrating years of perfect domestic bliss.

But as all their very grown-up-now friends begin reaching new life milestones, advancing careers and having babies, Luc and Oliver decide it's time to open their hearts and lives to something new: a tiny, squirming, adorable bundle of furry joy named Spud.

And maybe now that hearts-and-lives are already open, there's room for someone else. Something more. Something that may require them to find in themselves a little father material.

We may have waited a looooong time for this final book in the trilogy but it does not disappoint. Luc may be older but if he's wiser he's keeping it very quiet. And we may just have found something that Oliver isn't innately good at. We laugh, we cry, they swear a lot (despite the children), there's wanton violence, and a poo book (a log log if you will). I adored every page.

Alexis Hall reminds us again that life is messy, but anything is possible when you're with your forever person. Love is multifaceted and gives us the strength to do/go through hard things. It's sad to say goodbye to these characters. But how this final book ends gave me the courage to carry on and to be grateful for having gone on this journey.

Alexis Hall's Father Material is the final book in the London Calling series. You have to read these books in order as it follows the couple's relationship. I love the casual way these books read - I kept thinking the whole way through that Luc is giving Bridget Jones vibes lol, which is great for me bc I love that series. Father Material touches on some important topics and Alexis Hall weaves them beautifully into Luc and Oliver's story, Luc's mother, his work, and their friends as well.
