"Book Three of the After series--now newly revised and expanded, Anna Todd's After fanfiction racked up 1 billion reads online and captivated readers across the globe. Experience the Internet's most talked-about book for yourself! Tessa and Hardin's love was complicated before. Now it's more confusing than ever. AFTER WE FELL...Life will never be the same. #HESSA Just as Tessa makes the biggest decision of her life, everything changes. Revelations about first her family, and then Hardin's, throw everything they knew before in doubt and makes their hard-won future together more difficult to claim. Tessa's life begins to come unglued. Nothing is what she thought it was. Not her friends. Not her family. The one person she should be able to rely on, Hardin, is furious when he discovers the massive secret she's been keeping. And rather than being understanding, he turns to sabotage. Tessa knows Hardin loves her and will do anything to protect her, but there's a difference between loving someone and being able to have them in your life. This cycle of jealousy, unpredictable anger, and forgiveness is exhausting. She's never felt so intensely for anyone, so exhilarated by someone's kiss--but is the irrepressible heat between her and Hardin worth all the drama? Love used to be enough to hold them together. But if Tessa follows her heart now, will it be...the end?"--

I don't have words to describe any of this mess.
This is not a romance, this is a dysfunctional, disturbing, romanticized abusive relationship. It's toxic and unhealthy.
600 pages of no character development, zero character growth, no plot and choppy writing.
Don't recommend and won't continue this series.
2.5 stars
The lowest rating I've given any of the after books. This book could've been half the size of what it is, with all the meaningless drama between Hardin and Tessa. Hardin was so infuriating in this book and annoying. He did get his redmption arc, in the last 100 pages of the book.
I'm glad Tessa is standing up for herself this time around.
Probably won't write a full review. I read this because my sister in law recommended it and I wanted to have something in common with her before she left for boot-camp, so I pushed through this out-of-my-ordinary-genre book, and I did finish it! The story is good and frankly, I really liked Tessa (Hardin, not so much) and would have loved a story that focused on HER growing her career in the publishing industry rather than her party and love life with an angry college boy. There's just WAY too many sex scenes and explicit content for my taste. I think I skipped over more pages than I actually read... It's a lot. But the characters and the story was good, and like I said, I really liked Tessa, I just don't think she made the wisest decisions here.
