![]() ![]() The banter between them is strong as ever, and fans of book one will be glad to see them again, but the frothy, episodic plot contains so much filler that it’s difficult to invest in. And the heart of the story is Luc and Oliver’s debate about their own wedding, which stems from their differing styles of expressing love. But there is real drama as both Luc and Oliver grapple with their complicated relationships with their respective fathers, one of whom unexpectedly dies. Much of the book’s humor comes across as forced, from Luc’s disastrous cooking to a running gag about a photocopier. A work colleague’s wedding comes third, and feels the least integral to the plot. It also inspires Luc to first accidentally, then properly, propose to Oliver. Next, Luc gets invited to his ex’s wedding, which fuels his anxiety but provides an opportunity for closure. The first nuptials belong to Luc’s BFF, Bridget, and strained comedy ensues when she fears her fiancé, Tom, is cheating on her. Set two years after rom-com sensation Boyfriend Material, Hall’s unnecessary sequel sends reformed wild child Luc O’Donnell and his straitlaced boyfriend, Oliver Blackwood, to four weddings and a funeral. ![]() ![]() ![]() Known as the host of the annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, Caras was a veteran of network television programs including "Nightline," "ABC News Tonight" and "2020" before devoting himself to work as president of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals 5.

The novel – “one of the finest thrillers ever written,” declared the Telegraph – was serialised in Blackwood’s Magazine during the summer of 1915 and published as a book that October. The discovery gets Scudder “a long knife through his heart”. Lazing around in his Fitzrovia flat, he’s spurred into action when his neighbour Scudder uncovers a German plot to steal Britain’s naval plans – “the most finished piece of blackguardism since the Borgias”. Richard Hannay, his resourceful hero, is also restless. “During the first months of war and compelled to keep my mind off too tragic realities, I gave myself to stories of adventure,” Buchan wrote in his memoir. In earshot of the lapping waters of the Kent coast, Buchan conjured up a barrelling tale of doppelgangers and assassins. It has been filmed by Alfred Hitchcock, adapted for TV, stage and radio, and never once been out of print. When his Edwardian spy novel was first published, 100 years ago this month, it created a blueprint for the modern thriller – or, to use Buchan’s term, “shocker”. John Buchan penned it at a Broadstairs nursing home in 1914 as he recovered from a duodenal ulcer.
