Welcome to Litsy!

I ate this up!
Is it well written? Nope.
Is it toxic as hell? Yep.
Could I stop? Absolutely, not.

Starting book 2 immediately. I have to know where this is going..

I liked this one for the most part. It was steamy in parts and a good story. I liked the characters, but I just didn‘t love the writing and it got a little repetitive at some points. But, I am definitely in it for the long haul to see what happens with Tessa and Hardin. Book 2, here I come.

Current Reading..

And…I finished Volume II! Book 56 of 2023! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is so in the line of fifty shades of grey. A quick love story

Excited to dive into this collection! The movies do not disappoint so I have high hopes for the books to be even better!

If you are looking for a well-written book with an engaging plot and likeable characters capable of development, KEEP LOOKING. If you want a book you can walk away from with new knowledge or a lesson about life, THIS AIN‘T IT! However, if you want a smutty, ridiculous, and addictive piece of garbage that you can‘t stop reading (a literary train wreck), LOOK NO FURTHER! This is my guilty pleasure, so no judgments! I know it‘s bad…. but so good!

Oh. My. Gosh.
This book annoyed me to no end.
She loves him. She hates him. She loves him. She hates him. He's the best thing. He's the worst thing. He's the most amazing person she's ever met. He's the most evil human on the planet. 🤦‍♀️🙄🙈🤔 Make up your damn mind.

I read these books back in high school when they were being posted on wattpad (lol yes as harry styles). I remember loving these books so i wanted to reread them. The first book of this trilogy is my favorite. I love the plot twist at the end and the story development.

I read this so quickly and was completely immersed in it, but did I like it? I don‘t know. There were some absolutely cringeworthy moments and Tessa and Hardin‘s relationship is definitely unhealthy but I couldn‘t stop reading and bought the next one, as you can see. It‘s like a car crash, I guess...

Not my thing. I just couldn‘t. So dysfunctional. And I was told after it was suppose to be based on Harry styles. I hope not.

❤️

Just got done watching this movie. I loved it, but wished there was more... at the end.

Loved this book! So emotional and a shocking end that keeps you wanting more. I‘ve read it at least 10 times!!

This book made me think about what I would define a good book. Plotline is cliché, messed up, repetitive. Regardless of the author‘s literary techniques, I found myself traveling into the book. When I get so caught up, I think that is how I would define a good book. No matter what the plotline is I love this type of travel, allowing me to be in someone else‘s shoes. Does this mean I loved this book? Not really. But did I get to travel? I sure did!

This relation can not get anymore dysfunctional

Im not too far into this book, and i really want to dislike Tessa for how she's treating poor Noah but we have all been there and if you haven't then you probably haven't lived long enough lol

This book was one I read as a fan-fiction and the movie version didn‘t disappoint. After is forever one of my favorite books. #after #harrystyles #fanfiction #ya

I read this book in 2 days! I devoured it even though I'm iffy on it.

I like the storyline and the characters. Tessa meets bad boy Hardin and his troubled friends her freshman year of college. I like the drama and the vulnerability but it has way too much toxicity too feel real.

I didn't like how many themes were identical to 50 Shades of Grey.. It didnt feel original or creative at times.

3.0 stars but I can't wait to start book 2 tonight!!

I watched this movie without knowing it was based on a book. I absolutely loved it and then I dove right into reading the book.

I have a love hate relationship with it. I love that the story is set at a college and Tessa is a freshman. I can connect with her

But too many major themes feel directly taken from 50 Shades of Grey: novels, publishing, and Hardin's dark mindset. Too many similarities but I'll finish the novel and give book 2 a shot.

ALL 👏🏻 MEN 👏🏻 NEED 👏🏻 TO 👏🏻 GO 👏🏻 TO 👏🏻 THERAPY 👏🏻

It was good. But didn‘t like how the plot was repetitive

So many books so not enough time to read them all!

This book was amazing.I don t no yet how to start this review, but the book was the most beautiful and lovely book that I ever read. This is a book about love ,but is something that make this book unique.
I m in love with this book.🥰

You ever select a random book and it hits a little too close to home...? Yeah...this is that book.

Quarantine book #5

Has anyone read it?

Gonna read this next by Anna Todd #annatodd

Fixe

Flight read!!!

These are just a few points that I wanted to specify after reading After. I wanted to like this book so so so much but I just felt it was very immature. Nobody can be that naive, can they? There were so many red flags after all. Or maybe it's just that love makes you blind.

still unsure about this book...

• The back and forth of Tessa and Hardin‘s relationship was repetitive, exhausting, and somewhat problematic. Very frustrating, and sad, to read.

• Parts of their relationships, some interactions they had didn‘t sit right with me.. yet I could not stop reading.

• I was also was not expecting how graphic this book would be!

But THE ENDING. Definitely need to read the sequel just because of that cliffhanger !!

Absolutely loved it!! Would read it again and again! Anna Todd is an amazing writer! ❤️

“It is remarkable that Hardin, who hates everyone except himself, and maybe his mother, has all these people who care about him yet refuses to let himself care for them.” Page 243

This books sucked me in and kept me reading all day and night. It was great!

The last read I tried wasn‘t working out for me at all. I needed to switch the genre for a minute anyway, and this one was recommended by a coworker!

Currently reading this book and I‘m so invested in these characters! I stayed up waaaaaay to late and I‘m up waaaaay to early and can‘t stop reading. 🤷‍♀️❤️📖 #AnnaTodd #After #TessaAndHardin

⭐⭐⭐⭐
I greatly enjoyed this book despite the very overused premise of good girl falls for bad boy. I will say that I wanted to smack BOTH Tessa and Hardin. Tessa, because she was giving into him way too easily after everything he did to her and Hardin, because....well he's Hardin and an absolute asshole. The way he treats Tessa made me fume about 89% of the book. Like what on Earth is WRONG with you??
That cliffhanger though is getting me.

I'm not really sure why I picked this up, I wish someone had forewarned me about what I was getting myself into. This is pure trash. Thankfully I only spent $3 on this book.

OMG!!!!! This book is such a guilty pleasure book. It was highly addictive with all its drama and the back and forth and the ending left me like WTHeck??? This book you will either like or hate yes it has its flaws like the bullying, manipulation, and all the drama but sometimes those kind of books is what gets me hooked and I can't put down. Now i want to dive into the second book please.
5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It was trashy and the typical ‘innocent girl falls for bad boy‘ trope but geez it had me sucked in. Obviously there could be improvements, but for a YA that doesn‘t require much attention, I loved it.

I‘m embarrassed to say it but I‘ll be reading the whole series 😂

3.5 🌟

It psychically pains me to even admit to the book loving world how freaking addicting this book was for me. I couldn‘t put it down. I just kept reading this toxic, trashy, steamy, train wreck of a romance. This is a book I never thought I‘d read in a million years. Anna Todd you know how hook your readers I‘ll give you that.
