Bad boys are unreliable, uncaring, arrogant, immature, disrespectful players with no care for laws, rules, guidelines or girls’ feelings, according to Jacey Collins.
Good girls are condescending, conceited, stuck-up, vain b*****s who stay inside the boundaries and don’t know how to live life, according to Colton Shaw.
So what happens when you put Jacey Collins, a good girl, with Colton Shaw, a bad boy in the same house for a year? Parties, alcohol, secret relationships, betrayal, fights, heart break, break-ups, hook-ups, one-night-stands, pain, tears, anger, revenge-seeking-enemies, and I'm only getting started.

Okay, no. I actually got annoyed with this book. Here's the thing: you have to connect with the characters!. In 'The Way He's Not', I did not connect at all. It felt like I was standing on the sideline watching everything happen, yet not feeling a shit. I didn't feel the laughter, the pain, the sorrow, the friendship, the love...nothing, I felt nothing... The characters: Jacey Collins, the supposed good girl, is actually a brat, a bitch and a hypocrite! I wanted to slap her soooo badly. The bad boy, Colton Shaw, didn't really feel like a bad boy, more like a annoying kid who gets cranky and angry when he doesn't like things. Liam, Jacey's boyfriend..is plain stupid! How can he not react when guys do that to Jacey? IDIOT! Their bantering back and forth between them felt unnecessary and too dragged out. If you know me, you know I love bantering and hate-love relationships, but this kind of bantering was a complete turn off and annoying as hell. I wanted to quit the book from the first couple of chapters, but I thought I'd just give it another shot, just finish it, you know? I mean, come on, it's like 81 pages! Of course I can get through it! But damn, what annoying 81 pages... :/ Perhaps I had a bad day...I was sick, maybe that's the reason.. This book did have lots of potential though. If the author had just, I don't know, put more emotions in it? And less...bitching in it, then perhaps I would have liked it more.. Or it was just simply not for me... But hey; At least I finished it (well I finished all that was published by the author, but the story never got finished)!! ;) That's something right? Well at least the author tried! Too bad she didn't finish the story, I hate leaving things unfinished, and I'd hope I got to finished the whole story, but in a way, I'm also glad she didn't finished it, since I was so damn close to quitting it.... Rate: 1.5 stars.
I actually started this book yesterday and finished it a couple of minutes ago! I really like it! I hope she updates! I need to know what happens next..........
I love this story so much but the author... What happened to her? She's not updating it anymore. Sigh* still, that doesn't change my love for this story. :)
