![]() ![]() Once again, Luc’s wit and sarcasm were unparalleled. Hall uses this medium to explore different types of relationships and the complications that can still arise regarding marriage as a queer couple. In this sequel, the theme is Four Weddings and a Funeral. ![]() Getting to see after the happily ever after was a refreshing change of pace, too! That said, you definitely want to read Boyfriend Material before you read this one. I loved that this was a continuation of the same characters’ stories, rather than a book about another couple in the same universe. ![]() Luc and Oliver are two of my favorite protagonists ever. I adored Boyfriend Material, so this was one of my most highly anticipated reads this year. This Summer 2022, you’re invited to the event(s) of the season. Good thing Oliver is such perfect HUSBAND MATERIAL. But it’ll take more than four weddings, a funeral, and a bowl full of special curry to get these two from I don’t know what I’m doing to I do. Now it seems like everyone around them is getting married, and Luc’s feeling the social pressure to propose. In BOYFRIEND MATERIAL, Luc and Oliver met, pretended to fall in love, fell in love for real, dealt with heartbreak and disappointment and family and friends…and somehow figured out a way to make it work. Nowhere near perfect but desperately trying his best ![]() ![]() ![]() But Austin can't move on until Momma moves on, too-and lets the grief of losing Austin's daddy several years before out into the open. If only her momma would stop overprotecting her, and start letting Austin live her own life. Austin will do almost anything to become Sweetheart, and has the support of her oldest friend, Maribel, her new FFA friends (including the reigning Sweetheart, and a quiet, cute cowboy), an evangelical Elvis impersonator, a mysterious Cajun outcast, and a rooster named Charles Dickens. But far from simply being a beauty contest, becoming Sweetheart involves participation in the Future Farmers of America (FFA), raising an animal, and hunting or fishing. She decides this is the year she'll ride on the hood of a shiny pickup truck in the annual parade, waving to the crowd and finally showing the town bully that she's got what it takes to be the Sweetheart of Prosper County. ![]() ![]() Almost-15-year-old Austin Gray is tired of standing at the curb and watching the parade pass her by. ![]() ![]() ![]() Further out in the desert, the company discovers the bodies of their missing scouts, skewered and hanging from a tree. Glanton confesses to the judge that he hates seeing white men lose their minds. As the company moves on, the hermit yells after them, still not fully aware that his brother is dead. ![]() The judge determines that this hermit is the dead man's brother, and observes that both men have lost their minds out in the wilderness. The hermit speaks German, so only the judge can communicate with him. The first man dies and the gang waits outside the church while John Jackson locates the other hermit. The men follow the judge into the church, where a dying man lies on the floor.Ĭompany member John Prewett reveals that he shot the man, and he tells the others that there is another hermit hiding in the church. The judge lectures Glanton’s men on the history and architecture of the mission, but most of them doubt that he's ever been there before. After that, Glanton’s company rides on, following the Santa Cruz River until they pass the old mission at San Jose de Tumacacori. One of the bulls impales James Miller’s horse with its horns, and Miller shoots the bull in the head. ![]() Glanton's company continues through the freezing cold past the ruins of the old hacienda at San Bernardino, where they kill some old bulls that charge at them. ![]() |
