From The Publisher:
A New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller about a good girl dangerously drawn to the ultimate bad boy.
The new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn't drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University's Walking One-Night Stand.
Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby wants-and needs-to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby's resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis's apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.

Everyone should read
3.5⭐️ I’ve read the book before the movie came out and for the first time I could say that the movie was better. I’m one of the readers who enjoy the book over the movie. But this time I liked the character in the movie more than in the book and maybe the condensed version of the storyline itself. As a suggestion, don’t read this book after seeing the movie.
I feel like the characters didn’t really have enough depth and I would call Abby’s and Travis’s relationship ‘passionate’ , I feel like overall they’d be married for a few years and then ultimately divorced
