After We Fell | 
pickThis was my favorite book in the series so far. The writing was slightly better and there was more of a plot going on throughout instead of constant Hessa toxicity, though there was that as well! What annoyed me the most was Hardin‘s constant need to fight moving to Seattle, without giving anyone a clear reason. (And I‘m sorry.. but “because she‘ll thrive there” is bullshit!) Also to note, the world NEEDS the Lillian and Riley story! 💕
so-soI‘m not sure why I‘m still reading this series, but I can‘t seem to stop. There are moments when I‘m physically cringing but also times I can‘t put it down. I think it‘s the constant tension between the characters. I actually didn‘t enjoy this one as much as the previous one. The closer either of them get to “normal” just highlights how messed up their idea of healthy is.
pickWhy do I continue to read this series? I think its because of the satisfaction of observing character development. Although I find myself patiently waiting and waiting for a healthier relationship between the 2, I found myself noticing that in many cases, emotions and the mind works differently. To problem solve, do you shut one down and listen to the other or should we instead find balance by creating a bridge that links the emotion and the mind?
pickAnother major cliff hanger ending! This is book 3/5 in the After series. I love the story arc in this novel more then the others and I feel like I finally started to like the main characters Tessa and Hardin. ❤❤
I've never been big on reading series but this one has me hooooooooooked. I'm already loving book 4, After Ever Happy.
In other good news, movie #2 After we Collided is released in the US on Oct 23rd!! I'm stoked.
so-soThe only reason I am continuing to read this series is because I want and need to see how it ends. It‘s obviously fan fiction and the writing isn‘t great, but I am attached to the story. It has taken me awhile to get through it because the characters are melodramatic and annoying at times, so I put the book down. I will finish the series once I receive the library ebook.
panThis was trash that I have decided to read. With that being said I enjoyed the first book I understood why the the second book was written but this one annoyed me to the core. Tessa is so whiny and indecisive. Her I cant take this I cant do this anymore and then the next moment she is back with Hardin. They were NEVER apart long enough to see how it is to be without each other.
pickThere‘s just something so addictive about these books and these characters, I can‘t stop reading 😫
3.5 🌟
After suffering from a migraine for the last 3-4 days, I‘m finally feeling better! Sitting in the sun with Riley and catching up on the pages missed over the weekend 📖 #dogsoflitsy
pickI'm hooked. This book has some issues. A lot happens to Tessa that's too convenient. I also have the opinion that Landon & Tessa are good for each other. It's so obvious they don't end up together since the back of every book promotes #hessa so I guess I'll try Landon and Tessa fanfic. However I am obsessed with Tessa's journey with Hardin, even if I have no opinion if they end up together. Great story overall. I'm obsessed & ready to start book 4
pickI don‘t know how Anna does it, but she really knows how to keep you hooked to find out more. I feel like this book is the most drama packed in the series and I definitely had some emotions as I was reading. You get a lot of twists and turns with this one!
Try not to judge me...at this point (book 3) there is no turning back. I'm not proud of myself. I have much deeper & meaningful works I could be reading right now. I liken this series to a soap opera of the days of old. (Yes, I was hooked on Days of Our Lives) for whatever reason I can't look away from this toxic love 👀 & the steamy chemistry that is Hessa.
Tackling this beast today! I‘m off work, my kiddo is off school, it‘s a beautiful snowy day in PA today! This book always takes me forever to get through, but I‘m so thankful for reading it after it‘s gone. I love me some Hardin and Tessa!
I love seeing my progress, but seeing the amount left is still terrifying 😂 #afterwefell #annatodd #romance #newadult
so-soOh my gosh! The weirdest thing happened in the last few chapters of this, the third book in a series of ridiculously, pointlessly long poorly written books: an actual plot line emerged! 😲
I mean, other than the usual plot points of juvenile behavior, sex, whining, sex, stupid arguments, sex (and repeat).
I'm so impressed I'm giving this one 2 1/2 stars. Downloading the last one on audio now.
Shane East's narration continues to be 👌😍
I'm a few hours in to the audio of book 3. You know that thing that characters sometimes do where they develop and grow over time?
Yeah. That doesn't happen with these books. 🙄😒
So, I went to B&N today to spend my Christmas gift card, I happened upon this display... I thought it might be right up your alley @steverogers & @BookishFeminist It has the whole series!! 😂😂😂
It may just be a few hours that Christmas has pasted, but Christmas will always be with me. Happy Post #Christmas!
It's that time of day to reorganize the #bookshelves, since I've gotten mostly #books.
So I went to Ollie's Bargain Barn to exchange a coloring book from my parents, and they have an extensive book collection, most of it good and hardback. Seriously, check it out if there's one in your area!
And then they had this book...which is a really under appreciated piece of literature, right @BookishFeminist and @steverogers ?!? 😉😉 I mean, the Library of Congress has it.
Everytime this Series keeps getting hard to read...something happens and sucks me back in. Its good but in each book the same thing happens...
bailedFinished the first book, couldn't even force myself to continue in the series. Returning all I had requested from the library with no regrets. I have a tbr pile that will never end and I'd rather spend time reading things that bring me joy. Anna Todd gets props in my book for writing all this fairly original content, but it's just too melodramatic for my taste.
On to the next! Easy summer read.
