Bad Boy's Game
He lit his cigarette, I lit nothing.
He drank alcohol, I drank water.
He smirked, I smiled.
He didn't love me, I didn't love him.
He and I together wouldn't last a day.
And then the game started...
He said he found me intriguing, unique, interesting because I didn't swoon over him.
"You and me Grey, let's play a game. We'll date and in three months time I promise you will fall for me. When you fall in love with me between that time span, I win. If in any way you were to win I'll give up all the alcohol, cigarettes, and player ways."
It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.

I read this on Wattpad a few years ago and I loved this story from start to finish. This was the first story that made me fall in love with the idea of the bad boy meeting the good girl. It may sound cliche but the concept of being able to turn negative characteristics into positive by falling in love is something that seems so pure.
The sterotype of a bad boy is almost always them being soft and caring one way or another. Throughout the book, Archer and Elliot begins to go with the flow of hanging out and spending time together rather than treating this as a game. Archer being charming and flirty towards Elliot throughout the book and Elliot having the best comebacks when he say something egotistical was actually really cute. I loved this story and would definetly read again.

This was one of the cutest pieces I've ever read. Although it was cliché it was still very cute. The characters were flawed and this made them relatable, they were imperfectly perfect. :)

⚫No es tan "Bad boy" el pibe considerando que la novela fue escrita en 2015, más bien el pibe es re soft jajajajajja
⚫No me gusta que los nombres son re normales tipo: ellie, Liam, archer, zac. La autora no se gasto mucho en elegir los nombres
⚫Es la primera novela que leo en inglés y el libro número 100 que leí
⚫Pq mierda Zac me pegó a Archer cuando Archer discutió con Ellie? Osea esa parte es re wtf no da hermano
⚫Los personajes son re vacíos, no tienen personalidad (algo se nota, pero falta mucho desarrollo en ese aspecto)
⚫Está buenísimo que te da la opción de leer en audiolibro, yo lo que hacía era poner los audios e ir siguiendo la lectura con la vista
⚫Parece que el papá de ella es re fantasma, nunca apareció hasta que se gradúa en el penúltimo cap jajajajja
⚫Había partes que eran muy acarameladas y no me gustaban jajajajja tipo de una relación normal entre adolescentes cursis y enamorados
⚫No describen nada. Una sola vez describieron lo que ella tenía puesto y su aspecto y su auto y nunca más nada. Me ponía un toque nerviosa
⚫No le agarre cariño a ningún personaje
⚫Se lee rápido pero no te engancha el libro, es como que no hay nada que te dé esa sensación de que tenés que seguir leyendo
⭐1/5⭐

Lol I honestly can't remember the story
I mean one moment the 'bad boy' wants to fake date to help take revenge on HER ex for cheating on HER then next you find out that he played a role in helping her ex cheat on her because be needed cash and the next they start real dating. So yea 🤷♀️
Their relationship was kinda cute tho

this book was really good because something was made form nothing. what started as a game grew into more and i felt that the author captured that beautifully. And even when you loose you can also when that's a message i got out of this. Archer and Elli go through quite a bit but they still make it through even when betrail, lies, and hurt.

In the book “The Bad Boy’s Game” by beautifultragedies, Elliot a young beautiful nice girl falls in love and gets her heartbroken when her now ex boyfriend (Ryder) cheated on her. What does she do? What anyone who gets cheated on possibly wishes to do. Revenge. Archer, the bad boy wanna be of the school also hates Elliots and ex and also wants revenge. One day Archer goes into Elliots work and sit down and tells her he wants to help her get revenge by playing a game. What do they do? “.. When you fall in love with me between that time span, I win. If in anyway you were to win, I’ll give up all the alcohol, cigarettes and player ways”. This an incredible short story about love and hate. What happened to Elliot? Did she fall for Archer? Did They get revenge? Read “The Bad Boy’s Game” to find out!
I personally love this book, I don’t like reading very much but I just can’t stop reading this and I’m sure you’ll feel the same way. The writer use very good details throughout the story. She explains everything clearly. You know how you’re reading something and you have this little movie playing in your head? Well the author does perfect making sure that’ll happen. The author writes this book in ways young readers and adults will love. She uses great words choice and very good scenery. I love her work especially this book. I would recommend this book to people who love teenage love type of stories because that pretty much explains this book perfectly.

This was such a cute story and I cannot wait to read the sequel. Archer and Ellie were so perfect for each other.
This is kind of PG-13/14, if you want teens to read it, there's no problem.
