Anna Todd

"Book one of the After series--the Internet sensation with millions of readers. Tessa didn't plan on meeting Hardin during her freshman year of college. But now that she has, her life will never be the same"--

After

“ But when I look over at him and his dark mood, I remember all too well.”

“I love this damaged, selt-loathing asshole so much that I'm afraid it will crush me.” 

“It's you you’re the person that I love most in the world." 

“The worst ideas are often the best ideas.” 

“He consumnes my thoughts and invades my dreams.” 

“And yeah, I have girls that I fuck, but why would that concern you friend?” 

“All that I'm certain of is that my life and my heart will never be the same…”

"You are maddening, absolutely maddening Theresa."

"I don't have a choice. I haven't since the day I met you."

"I bring out the worst in you and you bring out the best in me."

"I am a moth to his flame, and he never hesitates to burn me."

"I feel as though I am ice and he is fire. We are so completely different, yet the same."

"Just because he can't love you the way you want him to doesn't mean he does't love you with everything he has."

“Don’t say too, it sounds like you’re just agreeing with me."

"You make me want to be good for you...I want to be good for you, Tess"

Extremely long and uninteresting especially after watching the movies

I read the book when it was on wattpad and that was it. there was no talk about a movie or it being published. When I first started reading it, I loved it.. but near the end of the whole story, (which this book won't have since it's a trilogy) I HATED it. Of course I finished it to see what happened with the idiots, but I could barely do that! I don't know why anyone liked it. The relationship was based on/started by a bet that is such shit and then the whole relationship is emotionally abusive. It is also a Harry Styles fanfic on wattpad (I am a fan of One Direction) and so many young girls read this because they love him so much and I don't want anyone else reading this because I don't want girls thinking this is the way a relationship should be. This whole story shows everything a relationship should NOT be actually.I hated all the constant back and forth between the two because once again, this story is emotionally abusive. I HATE that Anna Todd is getting paid by everyone buying her book and then if the movie does good.

I never write out reviews on here. I usually just rate them, but hopefully you can see just how much I hate this series since I typed out a freaking paragraph.

Este livro arruinou qualquer vontade de pegar outros, mudei de ideias dou uma estrela quanto mais penso no livro mais odeio 


*** o fim salvou. Nao que eu esperasse isto, mas passei o livro todo a rolar os olhos, odeio traições, e a ciumeira esagerada, acho que era escusado 580 e tal páginas com tanta repetição demorei mais a ler o livro porque obriguei me a acaba-lo, confesso que ve lo mudar por ela melhorou o meu mood, mas jesus crist. Rowling eyes. Agora tenho pena dela unf

Well if ever an ending could shock you beyond belief this book did it.
I got so caught up in this book that I finished it in one day! I'll admit the constant back and forth was annoying at times but what type of story would it be if it was easy? My hated for Molly grew with just about every other chapter but other then that I really liked most of the characters and how they developed.

           comecei a ler por conta do trailer do filme e imaginei que seria aquele tipo de romance clichê extremamente problemático e por diversas vezes machista. De vez em quando sucumbo a esse tipo pelo famoso guilty pleasure. Mas esse livro não é simplesmente problemático, é DOENTIO! Eu fiquei com nojo do personagem o tempo todo mas no final eu queria rasgar o livro de tanto ódio. Foi tudo levado pra um nivel absurdo e não acho que esteja bem abordado. A questão nao é escrever sobre um homem horrível e nojento, até porque sabemos que isso é o que mais tem mesmo, o problema foi justificar todas as atitudes dele no que ele sofreu no passado. E a maior besteira de todas não foi feita no começo, antes da menina supostamente mudá-lo. O Hardin estava fazendo juras de amor pra Tessa e no minuto seguinte a humilhando da pior maneira possível. Nojo. Tenho vontade de ler o próximo pq to sinceramente curiosa pra ver como a autora vai consertar essa cagada, se é que vai.

I never post reviews but I need to get this off my chest. Sorry for any typos. 
I had my « bad boy »,romanticizing abusive relationships phase when I was 12 because that’s when I started reading on Wattpad, and After was just one of the many books that portrayed such a bad exemple. This app alone played such a big part in how I viewed every relationship, sex in general etc for so many years. 
I’m now over this but with the movie adaptation now out it’s influencing new people. My best friend can’t stop recommending it to me telling me that : « my hormones’ll go crazy ». In a way I’m glad I got through that phase early in my life while the only boyfriend I had was the one I was reading about. But sadly the popularization of books like that just makes more innocent souls that never opened wattpad think this garbage is hot.

I thought that this book was okay when I read it

In my honest opinion I love this series so much! It’s so addictive and I’m obsessed with the relationship between Hardin and Tessa. The way the author describes everything

Geraldine Alatriste López

Honestly a great book but I think it would be way bettee if it didnt had such graphic and explicit scenes

Abby Champion

Okay this is my very first book review I have ever written. I read them consistently but never write them. TBH The After Series is one of my very favorite. I know people have mixed feelings about this book because of the way Hardin treats everyone. But honestly I am a sucker for a bad boy falling for a good girl. That sounds super cheesy but it's true. One thing I love about this book is that it is relatable and its realistic. Its not one of those books that is full of cliches and super cheesy lines. I LOVE the way Anna Todd writes and I love this series regardless of all the negative feelings people have towards Hardin. 

I love this book and I recommend everyone to read it :)

Mara Rose

It was good! I did not expect to like it as much as I did can’t wait to start book 2

Jacqueline Gonzalez

Sometimes a little bit to long dreading but ugh everyone is a sucker for Hardin right? Still very emotional book though! Bawling my eyes out for way to long after this book and I don't cry fast while reading. Loved the spicy scenes in this one.

I fell in love with this series from the first chapter and I have had the pleasure of getting to know Anna a little bit through twitter and she's like the big sister I've never had. I'm honestly so very happy for her. She deserves it all. Absolutely amazing.

Pior série de livros alguma vez publicada. Deveria ter ficado no wattpad. A personagem principal Tessa é insuportável. Este livro promove abuso emocional e romantiza relações abusivas. E o pior é que raparigas de 13-16 anos leem isto e pensam que é normal..
Não sei como é que alguem publicou este lixo.

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?

           This book just ruined me. There were so many emotions throughout. I laughed, I cried and I screamed. This book made me mad and then it made me squeal with joy. I loved this book so so much. This book was so good however I wish it ended differently. I was left furious and emotional. I read this book so quickly because I could not physically put it down. I was obsessed with the characters and everything about it. I couldn’t stop thinking about it and I’m so excited for the movie. I recommend this book but just remember it’s an emotional rollarcoaster and will effect you in so many ways ughhh...... the ending. I can’t get over it.

Re-Read 13/9/2021:
Is this book problematic as hell? Uh yeh. 
Does it still hold a special place in my heart? Also yes. 
I have no idea why I love this book so much. It’s a comfort read for sure. And if you hate this book I understand, but I love it…

That's not how sex works. That's not how sexual debuts work. That's not how healthy relationships work. That's not how plot works. That's not how the English language works. Real person fanfiction is a particular kind of disgusting, and the rise of the After series is a particular kind of despicable.

Kathleen Tom

This Series is the First Series Ever that made me fall in love with Romance or Young-Adult. 

I can’t say no to Anna Todd! I really can’t.

Sometimes you read a story that strikes you hard where you're drifting in the haze left from characters who clenched every part of you. This is that story. This is that book.
