The Lying Hours (How to Date a Douchebag, #5)

by Sara Ney

ABRAHAM DAVIS—Honest Abe to his friends—IS IN OVER HIS HEAD...

He’s a fixer and a do good-er. The all-knowing, resident "grandfather" on the wrestling team who everyone relies on to fix their problems. His teammates go to him for everything; advice, homework, or when they need a sober driver at three in the morning--whether he likes it or not.

Abe’s current mission is easy: mend his roommates broken heart by helping him find a girlfriend on the LoveU app--without getting caught in the lie...

SKYLAR GABRIEL. IS. OVER. IT.

Over her bad grades. Over her meddling older brother and his two best friends. And over dating douchebags. What she wants to know is: where have all the nice guys gone?

She longs for a handsome, sweet, and honest guy who can make her laugh. In one last ditch effort to prove that he exists—Skylar turns to LoveU.

On her worst day, Skylar has no filter (it’s a miracle she hasn’t been ditched mid-date).
On her best, she’s as wholesome, and sweet, as pie.
On Thursday? She matches with Abraham Davis’s roommate.

Skylar Gabriel is falling for the wrong guy—she just doesn’t realize it yet.

Why?

BECAUSE ABE DAVIS IS A LIAR.

He is a Douchebag after all...

I liked The Lying Hours and finished the story with a smile on my face. If I take too long to write this review, there's a good chance that my smile will turn to a frown. I could overanalyse the characters, the despicable behaviour and the disrespect shown to females. This Douchebag acts in a despicable way and doesn't even initially acknowledge that it was, in fact, a horrible, dishonest and morally wrong thing to do. The heroine of the story forgives him and gives him a second chance...which he then blows. Again, she forgives him, which, while I'm reading I'm all for, but if I think about this too long...

I ended this story on a high after going on an emotional journey with the characters to get to the happy, happy, joy, joy. Would I really want this to be someone's happy ever after? No. This story did not convince me that ANY of the characters learned their lesson and will be better for it. I see a bad path for the boy who gets away with having someone constantly clean up his messes. I see a bad path for the other boy who enables and lets things slide when a "friend" is doing wrong. I see a bad path for the girl who allows herself to be mistreated and dishonoured and goes back for more.

A high while reading but left with a bad taste when I finished writing this review. I guess my smile did turn into a frown after all.

Maybe I missed the memo or something, but I had no idea that Sara was going to keep writing more for this beloved series! You'll get zero complaints from me because this was the series that had me absolutely falling in love with Sara's work.

Let me start with the fact that I wouldn't say that Abe is a douchebag, he's actually far from it. And he's not the first nice guy that we've seen in this series. But I will say he's a bit of an idiot and I just wanted to say whyyyyyyyyy did you think Skylar would be okay with everything?, once the truth was revealed. The texting conversations were absolutely hilarious!
