After (Media Tie-In) | Anna Todd
199 posts | 349 read | 5 reading | 76 to read
Experience the internet's most talked-about book, now a major motion picture, from Anna Todd, the writer Cosmopolitan called "the biggest literary phenomenon of her generation." Now with new exclusive material! There was the time before Tessa met Hardin, and then there's everything 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, and tattoos, 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 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.

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!

chasjjlee I agree. Everyone hates on this book but this is the series that got me into reading 🤷‍♀️ and I like the movies too. 3y

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.

Deifio Why can't she make up her mind? That would drive me nuts too 3y
ItsAnotherJen @Deifio ..because she's young, naive, and neither one of them communicates well. So they constantly assume things about the other that aren't true. I had high hopes for this book, but it just aggravated me. 3y
aa_guer2021 That‘s usually the plot for books when there is such a couple on the cover. So I found anyway. I call them afternoon fluff. Because I can finish them in an afternoon, if I try really hard and the back-and-forth isn‘t **that** annoying and it isn‘t usually very memorable. The ones that are are an exception. It is a generalization, but really. 🤔 (edited) 3y

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...

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

LoverOfLearning 😂😂😂 it takes a LONG time for them to become less dysfunctional but you become invested in Tessa and Hardin in the long run. I'm 1/4 of the way done with book 4. For whatever reason I got hooked! 4y
Koffeejazzandbooks @LoverOfLearning im glad you said that because I wanted to know what someone thought about the rest of the series because im pretty sure ill end up reading the rest of them because I think im getting hooked too lol 4y
LoverOfLearning @Koffeejazzandbooks this will be one of the few series I will have read all the way through. Each book ends on a major cliff hanger so it definitely keeps you hooked. I also felt that book 1 was not that original but the rest of the book are so they do get more enjoyable. 4y

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!!

Chab256 I think I watched this movie on Netflix. 4y
LoverOfLearning Yeah I watched the movie first not know it was a series that started as a 1 direction fanfiction on Wattpad. So crazy. The book and movie are so different. But I loved the movie I watched it 2x in a few days. This book was darker and less creative than I expected it to be after watching the movie. But I'm reading book 2 now and I'm obsessedddddd. I only put it down bc my computer died. 4y

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.

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.

bookaholic1 It was like reading SHADES OF GREY but in teenage form, I couldn't even finish the first one 5y
olivia.ferz @bookaholic1 Yes!! That's exactly what i thought! 5y

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 !!

⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.

brit91 One of my favorite reads this year!💖📚 5y
bookmom921 @brit91 I bought it at B&N's Bookhaul sale. I had the 2nd book on hold at the library but there were 3 other people ahead of me. My fiance went out and bought the 2nd one so I didnt have to wait to read it :p 5y

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⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

shaguffi Have you read the 2nd and the 3rd part?... actually I am stuck at part 3 from a long time...guess more than six months due to my studies...but it's amazing 😍😍 5y
BookNightOwl @shaguffi yes I downloaded the second part right after I finished this first one. I have a book I need to finish first but after that one I will be back engrossed in this messed up relationship lol. 5y

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 😂

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.

There is enough teenage angst and melodrama to make Dawson's Creek look like serious t.v. And yet I am hooked because I have to see where this train wreck leads
