About this listen

Crude. Arrogant. A--hole.

No doubt about it, Sebastian "Oz" Osborne is the university's most celebrated student athlete - and possibly the biggest douchebag. A walking, talking cliché, he has a filthy mouth, a fantastic body, and doesn't give a sh-t about what you or anyone else thinks.

Smart. Classy. Conservative.

Make no mistake, Jameson Clarke may be the university's most diligent student - but she is no prude. Spending most of her time in the hallowed halls of the library, James is wary of pervs, jocks, and douchebags - and Oz Osborne is all three.

She's smart, sarcastic - and not what he expected....

Every douchebag has his weakness.

He wants to be friends. He wants to spend time with her. He wants to drive her crazy.

He wants...her.

Satisfyingly entertaining.

Light hearted but enough emotion that its not bland. Not OTT with angst or absurd situations. Narration is seamless.

The Studying Hours

I enjoyed these characters a lot but I found their story a bit flat and anticlimactic.

Falling in love with the Douchebags all over again!

I really enjoyed listening to Sara Ney’s first book from her How to Date a Douchebag series. Oz and James’ story was a great read and this time around it was definitely an enjoyable listen!

This was my first dual narration audiobook (as opposed to duet narration) and it took a little getting used to. I actually preferred Josh Goodman’s take on James in comparison to the “manly voice” that Muffy Newton puts on for Oz. And it was that which detracted from the story a bit for me.

In saying that, the storyline itself was a strong as ever in audio!! And I did thoroughly enjoy listening to the book. I’m looking forward to hearing the rest of the series.

He really is a douchbag but loveable all the same

Sara bring the fun out in the story everywhere in her books. This was a fun and interesting read with a twist here and there.

Immature sexual harrassment

I nearly threw this book away in disgust about 1/4 through. However, on the next page she told him what an absolute pig he was, so I fast forwarded through the rest. Their banter is not witty, there is no plot. Just non-stop sexual talk/thought. I want more from a novel than that. I will not be getting anything else from this author.

Regressive

There were funny lines but they were overshadowed by misogyny and dull plot. This would not necessarily appeal to women with life experience. It’s just not believable and the cliches are too obvious. The most glaring fault for me is that the male love interest is not a funny ‘douchebag’, he’s really unlikeable, unbelievable and nasty on occasion. He hates women and wants a mummy sex-doll for a partner. The female characters are thin representations - pathetic, shallow, comic in a way that makes them look dumb and with no hope of eliciting sympathy. This book is pretty misogynistic actually. Women (the presumed audience) deserve more credit.
