The Bad Girl and The Good Boy
“I’m Evelyn. Evelyn Jo. How about you, handsome?”
A girl in her underwear introduced herself to the clean-cut four-eyed Zavier Coin, grabbing his hand and making him blush - and life, as he knew it, would never be the same.
Dark hair, black ensembles, badass tattoos, and sporting the perpetual smirk – Evelyn Jo is the ultimate bad girl. She does what she wants, whenever and wherever, and relishes defying authority. A real badass chick.
Zavier Coin, on the other hand, is the perfect good boy. He's nice, loves his mom, gets really good grades, a teacher's pet, and a member of the Mathletes club.
They are polar opposites and would probably have never met but for a wrecked car, a school fire, a vindictive authority figure, and a funny twist of fate which landed Evelyn in the Coin home.
But do opposites really attract? And will friendship and love really beat all odds when faced with psycho bad boys, clueless buzzkill adults, and other seemingly insurmountable odds?
Will the bad girl and the good boy get along, become good friends, and perhaps… become something more?

I read this book on Wattpad and honestly this is one of my favorites. Sure it sounds like a reverse cliche but its more than just that. The characters have many layers to them. I suggest you give this book a try.

I read this book on Wattpad a little while ago and I'm going to be honest, at first I thought I wasn't going to like it. Before I started reading it I thought it would be sickeningly cliché, and it was cliché, but it was a twist on a cliché if that makes sense O_o :) It was different and it really made me laugh (thanks to this book my family think I'm weirder than I am) and I was crying so much at some points. I loved Evelyn, she didn't really change for her man, she just got her act together. Hey, who doesn't love a badass? Awww, her teddy bear as well :') I highly recommend this book and I'd like to congratulate the author on getting it published :) peace out motherf*ckers ✌

Este libro fue una decepción, tenia muy buenas reseñas y al parecer todo el mundo lo había amado pero no, conmigo no paso.
Sé que esto fue publicado por una persona aficionada o que se dedica a escribir historias para pasar el rato y que por su popularidad se expandió, la verdad no tenia ningún problema con ello.
Los personajes eran buenos, es decir la idea de ellos, me gusto el caso de que se hiciera lo contrario al cliché de chico malo y chica buena, eso me encanto y creo que fue una de las razones por las cuales decidi comenzarlo a leer, mi problema fue que era demasiado. Mucho drama, tengo cero tolerancia a las historias donde los personajes no pasan ni un momento feliz sino que le sigue tragedia a tragedia.
La narración con cosas que ya sabias, cosas obvias, o repetición de las mismas confesiones o pensamientos de los personajes en cada capítulo.
Tenia alrededor de 450 paginas que para mi fueron innecesarias, no había tanta historia para ello. Otro punto que realmente odie con toda mi alma es la repetición de palabras y frases, con ello también el titulo, ej "chico bueno no debería..." "una chica mala hace..." "porque el es un chico bueno..." las veces que fue repetido a lo largo de la historia era molesto y cansaba un montón, ya se conocía que no era un cliché pero termino aburriendome casi al punto de dejarlo.
¿Por que dos estrellas? En cierto punto me gusto lo que se planteó hacer con la historia, y por otro lado me gustaba Evelyn (algunas partes de su personaje, no todo) de resto fue un mal rato. Lo siento.

"¿Quien habría pensado que estar en ropa interior causaría una gran primara impresión?"
Oh dios mio, oh dios mio es un libro tan tierno y emocionante. Simplemente ame a Zavier Coin, para ser sincera estoy enamorada... Pero eso es normal con personajes tan perfectos.
Todos y cada uno de los personajes los llegas amar Jesse, Ian, Darrel, Drake puedo decir que todos me sacaron carcajadas con sus ocurrencias.
Es un libro simplemente perfecto, en mi punto de vista no calló en capítulos cliché que es muy común que pasa cuando está el tema de chicos malos y buenos aunque aquí es lo opuesto, ella, Evelyn Jo, es la chica mala y el, Zavier Coin, el chico bueno.
No quiero profundizar mucho en el libro porque se disfruta más no sabiendo nada de el, yo me lo encontré de casualidad en un blog y como diría Evelyn, estoy "jodidamente" agradecida de a verlo hecho.
Espero que todas algún día encontremos a nuestro "osito de peluche" que no solo nos haga querer ser mejores personas, sino que nos ayude hacer este un lugar mejor y nos inspire a ser mejores no solo para nosotros mismos, sino para nuestro mundo.

I peered over my friend's shoulder as she was on her phone in order to see what had captured her attention so tightly one day. On her screen was this book, off of Wattpad, and when I asked her what she was reading, she wouldn't answer me. Honestly, I don't think she even knew anyone was talking to her, she was so engrossed. She was reading this book, and then I ended up reading and falling in love with it as well. The title made is sound slightly cliché at first, but it was a good kind of cliché, if you know what I mean. I highly recommend you read this book, it makes me smile every time I think about it.

Seriously, this was terrible. I don't even know how to describe it's badness. I have no idea where all the amazing reviews are coming from, but it feels like this book is written by a giggling 13 year old. The constant repeated words, ridiculous nicknames, and the blushing OMG it was like "thoughtless" all over again, except it's longer! Yes imagine that, it's longer. Thoughtless is also well written as annoying as it was, this "work of art" isn't anywhere that good. It may be appearing to other 13 year old girls, but I couldn't handle it. I don't have that much time to waste.

It was absolutely beautiful.
With the mediocre cover, I didn't expect much. But boy, was I surprised. It is very rare for a long book to keep me interested, so I normally opt for the shorter ones however despite having around 690 pages it truly kept me captivated and hooked.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants endless laughs, risks and romance.

absolutely amazing. the contrast of the 2 main characters are perfect. Zavier's nerd personality is so cute compared to Eveleyn's badass one. I freaking love it. So many plot twists. Just absolutely great. So original.

I read this on Wattpad and I can just say, it was and still is one of the best books I've read in my entire life. And that's a lot of books. It's so compelling and such a page turner. I've read it before yet I'm still going to buy the book, that's how good it is.

I love this book it so good and cute

I really enjoyed the simplicity in her writing although I felt like something more could've happen. I can't wait to read The Good Boy's Weeding!!!

Another high school romance
Yeah, I said it. But don't misunderstand me, I really enjoy this read! Ms. Luna's enthralling storytelling had me turning page after page. The title drew me in considering, it's always bad boy, good girl that gets center stage lately. The central characters and their counterpart s as well as really good plot and the ease with which Ms. Luna "speaks" to her audience. If you are looking for a good and a lovely story to get lost in, The bad Girl and Good Boy is a treat.

Mi opinión.
De que trata.
Dos jóvenes que son lo opuesto, usualmente el malo del libro (por así decirlo) es el joven pero en este caso es la chica. Me pareció interesante esta dinámica nueva, hay ocasiones en las que no me llama la atención los libros de los cuales no he leído la temática. Pero quise darle una oportunidad a esta lectura que tenía pendiente por hacer, de uno de los tantos que tengo por hacer.

It was amazing it was so refreshing to read a story that wasnt a bad boy good girl story. Even though you knew that they would end up together there was still aome parts of the story that made me think that they wouldnt be together and that made me want to punch a wall or something.Over all the book was amazing and I would definitely read it again!!!!

Ok
Mispronounced around too much for me. And I did not care for her writing style. Like how a character would talk. It just didn't sound like stuff people would say.

21 procent gelezen. Het was nogal langdradig. En blijkbaar is het een leestijd van ongeveer 5u? Wow! Kwam dit van Wattpad ofzo? Geen zin meer in. En hij was niet schattig, maar ongemakkelijk...

Love and miss you. Keep writing. Never forget how magical you are! Thank you for the dedication. I hope you write 15373939487547 more books.

Okay let's just first say that it had been a while since I had read such a thick book.
I mean, normally I read books that has like 200 pages, this one though, was different.
And I was kind of afraid that I wouldn't be able to finish it.
But I read it in one day!
I simply loved it, it was a long story, but that didn't matter, I had a feeling that everything tat happened was necessary to happen. And I love those writers who can figure that out!
It was just awesome.
He's a nerd who can't look at a girl without turning into a tomato. She's the bad girl who isn't stupid but just hates school, and this, this is her last chance.
She needs to go living with a woman called Stomry. She has a son though, a son who could be an example for all the other boys. And that's the weird thing, he isn't the perfect son, they are both far away from perfect.
But they make each other perfect, even though that they know that they don't need to be perfect. She has a few (male) friends back home, so she's adjusted to being around boys. And she has no shame. She meets Zavier in her underwear. And yes, it made a good impression.
They go through a lot, but in the end;.. They fall in love, but they're still young. And that means that the grown-ups need to participate in the story, and Stormy kind of all messes it up.
It sucked, but it was awesome.
I give his book 5 deserved stars, can't wait to read the freebies!!

Can Evelyn leave all her troubles and finally fall in love with the shy but handsome Zavior Coin? Find out and read the exciting and thrilling book The Bad Girl And The Good Boy and find out!

I'm giving this book two stars only because of the potencial that it had and the idea of portraying a true shy, introvert and self conscious boy who took baby steps and time to become a more confident and outgoing person, without changing into another complete different person or going from the shy guy to a sex god in three chapters. Growing up doesn't mean becoming another person all at once but a better version of yourself with all the experience that sometimes only time can give you, I'm glad that it was what happened with Evelyn, and it's a powerfull message in the book. Overall I think this book could be a good one if rewriten with more care, with more plots and less repeated words, if it dived further into more complex definitions and explanations and were edited with more reflection.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ - 4 stars
This book was such a fun, and quick read.
Quick summary: Evelyn Jo is the ultimate bad girl, she’s broken major laws, played boys like a game, done plenty of drugs, and is covered in tattoos and piercings. Meanwhile, Zavier Coin is the classic good boy, he’s never broken a rule, has zero experience with girls, and hates anything to do with drugs or needles. When they’re forced to live together for a year sparks start flying.
I loved the dynamic between Evelyn and Zavier, their total opposites thing makes for some hilarious and intense moments. Evelyn’s rebellious attitude and Zavier’s sweet, cautious personality create so much tension that I was dying to see what would happen next.
I loved this book. I highly recommend
so pls read it

I first saw this book on wattpad I thought I wouldn't like this book, because it was the bad GIRL not the bad BOY. I thought this book was going to be so weird and awkward, but I love this book so much. It was different and Ioved it. It was so detailed and it was very well written. I read this book til the end and I still want to buy it. It is amazing and I recommend this book for people to get. This is one of my favorite books on wattpad and it makes me want to read more and I'm not a big fan of reading, so Karla if you ever read this congratulations on your book your work is amazing.

i read this book at wattpad and was half way in reading the book, even though the title of the books not very attractive, but the contents of the book really catching people's attention. at first i thought that the books will be boring because the title seems so cliche, but when i read the book, it really drew my attention and makes me fall in love with the book. even though there is still a little bit grammar mistake, but over all the content was okay and the story also very interesting to read. i suggest you read the book also, or you will regret.
January 4, 2015
I've read this book on Wattpad, and I have to say that I first thought it was very cheesy and cliché. I mean, there are enough books with complete opposites falling in love. But in this I was very pleasantly surprised. The book is full of action and I find it most important that the book is also about other things than only the romance. I absolutely loved this book and I can't wait to buy the paperback!
January 5, 2015
I have read this book on wattpad a little while back and I have to say one of the best books I have ever read and I can tell you now I read a shitload, it's in like my top 5 books and its #1. Anyways like 2 days ago I wanted to read it one last time and when I saw that it was published I was like 'fuck yeah!' I've always wanted to write books but u know that's obvs not gonna happens. Whoops back off track again so I say GET THE DAMN BOOK! It's amazing
January 7, 2015
I can't even with this book. When I was reading, I just wanted to jump inside the book, meet the characters and steal zavier with me when I climb back out of the book. #sorrynotsorry
You will love this book, it's written amazingly and it's like your right there watching everything happening everything, you will definitely not regret reading this. It's a lovable book haha. Thanks Karla for sharing this story with us.

I thought that this book was one of the most amazing ones i have ever read. I originally read this book on wattpad but i'm now waiting to get it in paperback. I would definitely recommend this book again to another person. It has great mix of humour, romance and action. A perfect read if you are into those genres. :)The Bad Girl and the Good Boy
