5 Laugh-Out-Loud Stars
How to Date a Douchebag...
From the title, I knew that this would be a book that would most definitely have me rolling on the floor laughing my butt off. It was definitely an attention grabber from me and I knew as soon as I saw the little advertisement on Facebook, I HAD TO HAVE IT! Reading definitely has its ups and downs and it's books like this one that add a little laughter to break up the seriousness of other novels.
This book is basically about misconceptions people make about other based on their appearances. Oz finds this out first hand when he makes some assumptions about the girl studying a couple tables away in the library. And yet the same could be said for James, although a lot of her misconceptions were pretty spot on about Oz, he just grew out of some of them throughout the novel. The phrase "don't judge a girl by her cardigan" definitely resonates through the characters and plot as they find out that not everyone behaves as they look and sometimes those that look like prudes might not be so inclined.
What was really great about this book was the relationships between the characters. Oz is the typical jock douchebag that everyone kind of expects, and no one more than himself. And yet once he starts to hang out with James, he finds that he doesn't quite fit the role he always has placed himself in. And the thing that drags Oz in is James's blunt yet witty humor as she finds herself in the path of Oz on several different occasions. These two come together with fireworks as their opposing personalities often end with one of the two upset or fired up.
This book was everything that it promised to be...
AND MORE!
I loved being able to sit down and just enjoy the witty comebacks and the interesting chapter dividers. Oh yes, a little extra special something is between every chapter ready to make you choke on the tea or coffee you are currently sipping (i know from experience, believe me).
Truly though, the author did a great job of writing a novel filled with hilarity and heart, a balance that doesn't always work but fit perfectly in How to Date a Douchebag. From the snippet at the end of the novel, I already am looking forward to the other books in the series and their own douchebags!!
Blurb
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 DOUCHBAG HAS HIS WEAKNESS.
He wants to be friends.
He wants to spend time with her.
He wants to drive her crazy.
He wants…
Her.
