The After Series is one romance series that I do not at all enjoy. As far as I am concerned, the pair should have broken up a long time ago.

I have to admit; I read all of these books when they were still Harry Styles fanfiction on Wattpad. Embarrassing, I know! However, I did enjoy the refined books as well. I think Ana Todd was great at depicting a toxic relationship you know you shouldn't be in but can't help yourself.

I must say that even by the end of the books I didn't think Hardin and Tessa should be with each other. I think they would both be far better off without the other by their sides. Nevertheless, still a great read.

Hardin and Tessa are the true definition of Yin and Yang. The first time I read the book, it was kind of scary to see the lengths to which Hardin went. I remember that after book two, I stopped reading for a while. Later, I continued reading, starting over from book one. I got to see Hardin in a different light during my second reading. I also got to appreciate Tessa for having the courage to get out of the relationship. It's really hard for someone to get out of a toxic relationship, and no matter how much people tell you to leave, only you can realize that it's time to pack up and leave. I really respect Tessa for making that hard decision.

The amazing fan following and the hype is what led me to this series. I have read the entire series. Overall, I did not like the storyline. I like how both the lead characters' life slowly but drastically changes after they meet. Perhaps that is the only good thing in my opinion. For the most part, the relationship lacked naturality and felt very artificial, needless to say too toxic.

This book is absolutely moving, both mentally and physically. I am a good reader. but I don't know I came to read about this book a little late after my online friends did. I was too curious to more about hardships between Tessa and Hardin. My online book club friends couldn't believe how I completed the book much much earlier than expected.
Anna Todd is one amazing writer and I am beyond ecstatic to continue into the second book revealing more about Tessa and Hardin!

I have read the entire series and I must say that I did not like it. Do not get me wrong, I like romance. But this story, apart from the frequent depictions of sex, had nothing to keep a reader in it. The relationship of the leads were extremely toxic.

It seems that you were truly drawn into Tessa and Hardin's tumultuous journey, filled with passion and growth. Their complex relationship and personal struggles made for a gripping read. Thanks for the recommendation; it seems like a compelling series for fans of intense romance with depth.
I will look forward to reading it soon.
