By Anna Todd

Book Overview

Experience Anna Todd's million-copy-selling story that started it all.

Tessa goes off to college with a dependable boyfriend waiting at home and her life and career neatly planned out. On her first day on campus, everything shifts when she encounters Hardin. With his disheveled brown locks, cocky British charm, and a canvas of tattoos, he's a stark departure from her familiar world.

But Hardin's rudeness borders on cruelty, and Tessa resolves to hate him. At least until they share a charged moment alone--and suddenly, Tessa is questioning everything she's ever known about herself.

Despite his hot-and-cold attitude, Tessa is drawn to uncover the hidden layers within Hardin. In the midst of her newfound independence and electrifying uncertainty, Tessa's connection with Hardin feels like the passionate love she's been looking for. With her carefully laid plans forever disrupted, what comes after?

Horrible

The book I ordered stated it was in very good condition yet it was not

Love with a bad boy

This one threw me. Had to watch the movie after. As a reader, I was just as hung up on whether to love or hate Hardin the entire time. Ordered the next two books, too. Page turner.

A soap opera series

At first I wasn’t sure how to rate this book. The characters can be... unlikable at times but I found myself really enjoying it. This definitely isn’t relationship goals but it’s a fun, dramatic read that keeps me wanting more. I’m currently waiting to read the fourth book and can’t wait!

Loved the whole series!

A bit racy but really great love story. I read all 7 books in the series.

just read it on wattpad

good book but just read it free online

So much drama!!!

This book got me so hooked! It gave me a young adult version of 50 shades of Grey. It is the good girl and bad boy plot but is kept realistic in a way that can be relatable.

Great Series

I read this book after seeing the movie and it was so worth it! It's been awhile since I read a good series and I would recommend reading this one if you like romance tinged with reality.

Amazing Book! A Must Read!!!!

This book is amazing, the best I've ever read, even better than 50 Shades of grey! Definitely a must read if you enjoy love stories, complicated love, passionate, & lots of erotic content. I fell in love with Hardin & Tessa from this series! I could have very easily read more books from this series, though it had many pages & 4 books to the series I was left wanting more of Hardin & Tessa's love story just because I loved it so much! I binge read these books, I don't mean I liked it & couldn't wait to find time in my schedule to read more of this book series I mean I was addicted & found the time one way or another even staying up way late at night to read as much as I could because I couldn't get enough! If you like 50 Shades of Grey you will like this book. It is not about dominatrix as 50 Shades is, but does have the same type of complicated love story with lots of erotic content. This book has a HUGE fan base & the books are being made into movies! Can't wait for them all!! The first movie was lacking as the person who designed the movie wrecked the story line from the book, left too many important details out, but read the book you can fill in the blanks the movie left. I did enjoy the first movie though, but was a bit all over the place & left out important details & scenes, still enjoyable. The second movie has been promised to be MUCH BETTER & closer to the book. So can't wait! The whole book series is of 4 books, the book Before is a recap from Hardin's perspective, like the book Grey is from 50 Shades. Was a bummer, because would to have LOVED to have a actual continuation 5th book of this series & not a recap from a different perspective. The first book After the one I'm reviewing here is from Tessa'a perspective, but the other 3 books is from both of their perspectives which I love! The After series is definitely a must read & watch! The books are as followed After, After we collided, After we fell & After ever happy. A Must read!!!

The best series so far

This is an amazing series I loved the way she writes this book gave me all the feels and kept me guessing tell the end love this book
