Overview

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?

  • Red Flag Romance (Trigger Warning)

    Arden K. - 5 years 7 months ago

    Trigger Warning: emotional abuse/toxic/abusive relationship Originally written as a One Direction fanfic on Wattpad, "After" is a good book if you're looking to read about a portrayal of an emotionally abusive and toxic relationship without the accountability, label, or resources. Hardin and Tessa's back-and-forth romance fulfills the trope of innocent-good-girl meets tortured-bad-boy and it seems that Hardin's sex appeal and Tessa's lack of truly romantic relationships and sexual experiences are really the only thing bringing them back together for most of the book. Hardin can be controlling, often insults Tessa, grabs her a few times, breaks things throughout most of the series when he gets angry, and uses sex to manipulate her on at least one occasion. There is also a major power imbalance due to the connections Hardin has at their school. If you're looking for a cute (and healthy!) college romance, look somewhere else. Otherwise, keep in mind that most of "Hessa's" relationship in this book can be defined by its red flags and has been accused of romanticizing toxic/abusive behavior. It is also written for a mature audience and features multiple sex/sexual scenes, so don't pick it up if that's not your thing. #RequiredReading

  • Sooooo good

    Karmen K. - 5 years 9 months ago

    This book is for anyone that loves a good life changing young love story. It's beautiful and heart breaking.

  • After I read After.

    Jordan W. - 5 years 10 months ago

    I was intrigued by the constant conflict. It had me on the edge of my seat. Will she keep putting up with it or will she leave? Wow. Definitely worth a read. #SummerReading

  • Love and Deception

    Elizabeth D. - 5 years 10 months ago

    It's like a college semi version of 50 shades of Grey meets Cruel Intentions meets She's All That! Absolutely love this book, definitely re-readable. Drama, love, heart break, and betrayal. 100 times better then Movie, which I saw first before reading, but still love the movie as well.

  • Now There's Just...After

    Emily S. - 5 years 10 months ago

    I absolutely LOVE Anna Todd's After series. I read the series a few years ago and have been rereading the books now that they are being made into movies. I definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in fiction, romance, angst, and who can relate to "the heart wants what it wants." #SummerReading
