Publisher's Summary
Now newly revised and expanded, Anna Todd’s After fanfiction racked up 1 billion reads online and captivated audiences across the globe. Experience the Internet’s most talked-about book for yourself!
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, tattoos, and lip ring, 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?

Felt like an erotic novel for teens
Hear me out. The eroctic part was what actually made the book decent enough to listen to. It was hot and I quite enjoyed it. HOWEVER the main character, Tessa.... OMG she is the most judgemental, self-obsessed and naive character I have ever read for the following reasons:
1. She referred to almost every other female character other than herself as a skank, slut or whore. Every girl was "caked in makeup" or wearing incredibly revealing clothing. Way to shame other girls because they arent like you.
2. Calling the kettle black, guess who eventually starts wearing makeup and wearing tighter clothes? The main character, Tessa.
3. The worst part on top of her judging the other girls, *possible spoiler* SHE CHEATS ON HER BF. What kind of decent person does that? Especially one that constantly regards herself as better than everyone else.
4. There is such a double standard. Harden can sleep with every girl on campus but he isn't a slut by her terms? Instead he's experienced and sexy.
5. Tessa is completely unrelatable to most readers. She gets to go to college paid by her mom, she gets hit on by literally every guy in school, gets fought over, she is smart, gets the greatest job and the hottest guy in school? The author made her too perfect and it doesnt help that she puts down every other girl around her and even every other person that isnt like her. I hoped she would grow out of her view of the world, but she never does. She always sees herself as better, I couldn't stand it.

Incredibly immature + unhealthy relationship
I knew going into this that this book could be a DNF for me, but frankly I'm running out of good, smutty romance novels and was desperate. What a mistake. I made it 14 hours in, and regret every minute of it.
This book gave me (a mid-30s woman) flashbacks to all of the worst moments in my late teens/early 20s. It's 16 hours of drunken sobbing in a frat house bathroom after being treated like dogshit by some rich, white, teenage asshole, and then going back for more, ad nauseum, because your beliefs about your own self-worth are non-existent. This entire story is a viscerally traumatic experience.
Harden is an abuser, and the author is gaslighting us into believing that it's romance. My tolerance for garbage alpha male behaviour in romance books is pretty high, but this was something else. I couldn't even enjoy it for the smut. This story was irredeemably bad, and no one should ever consider Harden anything but an example of what not to tolerate from another human being.
