Book 1 of the After series—newly revised and expanded, Anna Todd’s After fanfiction racked up one billion reads online and captivated readers across the globe. Experience the internet’s most talked-about book for yourself from the writer Cosmopolitan called “the biggest literary phenomenon of her generation.”
There was the time before Tessa met Hardin, and then there’s everything AFTER… Life … AFTER… Life will never be the same. #Hessa
Tessa is a good girl with a sweet, reliable boyfriend back home. She’s got direction, ambition, and a mother who’s intent on keeping her that way.
But she’s barely moved into her freshman dorm when she runs into Hardin. With his tousled brown hair, cocky British accent, tattoos and lip ring, Hardin is cute and different from what she’s used to.
But he’s also rude—to the point of cruelty, even. For all his attitude, Tessa should hate Hardin. And she does—until she finds herself alone with him in his room. Something about his dark mood grabs her, and when they kiss it ignites within her a passion she’s never known before.
He’ll call her beautiful, then insist he isn’t the one for her and disappear again and again. Despite the reckless way he treats her, Tessa is compelled to dig deeper and find the real Hardin beneath all his lies. He pushes her away again and again, yet every time she pushes back, he only pulls her in deeper.
Tessa already has the perfect boyfriend. So why is she trying so hard to overcome her own hurt pride and Hardin’s prejudice about nice girls like her?
Unless…could this be love?

I lost myself in this book. #Hessa forever!
So I watched the movie first which I loved. Now, that I’ve read the book I love them both for completely different reasons.
There will be times that you want to shake both Tessa and Hardin while reading this but at the end it will rip your heart out so get the tissues ready.
Tessa Young–is the definition of a good girl. She does exactly what is …
“‘It must be exhausting,’ he says.
‘What?! What must be exhausting?!’
‘Acting like you don’t want me when we both know you do.’” *Gags*
YESSSSSSSS!! GATHER ‘ROUND it’s time to review another garbage fire! I’m kinda proud of myself for making it through this whole book. I don’t know why I love rejoicing in terrible pop culture so much, but it …
I saw the movie first and needed to read the books! Loving it!
I have been really wanting to read this series forever…just never got to it.
Then the movie released and I freaking loved it…I kept telling myself if the movie was this good..then girl the book is always better.
That’s what everybody always says right?
Well it definitely is better..but y’all..I really really loved the movie so this …
You will fell in love with this book… end ip buying the entire series and then will also fall in luv with the movie…
AMAZINGGGGG BOOK! Just read it!!!! The movie is also great.
This was a good book. It was hard to put down and I was sad when it ended. I especially did not see the ending coming.
There was just nothing great about this at all.
There is four other books so if you read this one it’s just the beginning.
Loved it!
Honestly, this book was so toxic and tried to make abusive relationships look okay. I hated it.
After 4 days of being on the hot mess express, I finally had to pack up my popcorn and comfy pants at 70%. I just couldn’t take another minute of these two fighting, then breaking up or storming out then making up. It’s the same thing over and over and over and over again. It’s a big book and I really wanted to see how everything was going to …
Holy cliffhanger Scooby! Well, not so much of a cliffhanger, it close enough for me to scream out at the end and my son came in my room to ask what was wrong. There was so much angst in this book, and the two main characters, Hardin and Tessa, were fighting non stop.
They would get together then Hardin would be an Asshole and Tessa would say …
The series was AMAZING!!!!
I think that After at the beginning is very freaking Toxic like their relationship is completely based on sexual pleasure but at the same time you can really read their care for each other, I don’t wanna spoil anything but I will say that most of the book you get Tessa’s point of view and in the middle or far in you get the boy or Hardin’d POV… …
It was so good and if you love romance READ this book
This book is such an emotional roller-coaster, it’s so frustrating it is by far the best book series I have read and it’s made its way into my collection of favorite books at number 1. I love the characters in it and if you heve watched the movies, the books are way better by far.
This book is awesome. I loved everything. I’m in love with this book.
it supports toxic relationship. it is not ok to have a possessive and aggressive boyfriend.
