ten things that never happened alexis hall

I spoke with Hall about his latest book, the time-management (or lack thereof) that goes into writing, and Queer representation in his work. However, the true love story is found between Valentine and Bonny on their journey to find Belle and it’s their simmering dynamic, hysterical misadventures, and Belle’s spirited and theatrical characterization that give the story its addictive kick. In his latest novel, Something Fabulous, released in January this year, we follow a handsome, reserved Duke, Valentine, as he searches for his strong-willed, runaway betrothed, Belle, with the help of her twin brother, the romantic Bonny. Luckily for me, those only scratch the surface of what he’s released and, in this year alone, has three upcoming novels due to be published. I read Boyfriend Material, Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake, and Something Fabulous all in a day and, with each, regretted doing so rather than slowing down to spend more time with them. From Regency era romps to romantic comedies that positively yank at your heartstrings, to a British Bake Off riff, there are few genres Hall has yet to explore and, in each, he manages to craft such lovely pockets of escapism that makes saying goodbye to any of his characters seem like a considerable loss.

With the release of the immensely popular Boyfriend Material in 2020, author Alexis Hall received new name recognition, despite having been publishing novels already for years.
