 Book 5 of the After series—Anna Todd’s Wattpad fanfiction that racked up 1 billion reads online and captivated romance readers across the globe! Before explores Hardin Scott’s life before Tessa, reveals what happens after After, and gives new insights on their turbulent #Hessa romance.

Cosmopolitan called Anna Todd “the biggest literary phenom of her generation.” That’s Normal declared Hardin and Tessa “The Mr. Darcy and Lizzy Bennet of our time.” Revel in the awesome, messy power of true love.

BEFORE Hardin met Tessa he was a raging storm. DURING those first moments they met, he realized he needed to keep her for himself—his life depended on it. AFTER they got together, the world would never be the same.

Hardin and Tessa’s dramatic love affair became a vortex pulling in everyone around them. For the first time these others are given voice as they appear before, during, and after the events in original After novels. Alongside them, Hardin’s account of his first encounters with Tessa—which will change what you thought you knew about the brooding boy and the angel who loved him.

So awesome to get different views and background information from some of the bi-characters, as well as Hardin’s side of the story since it was only told from Tessas perspective in the first book!

I did find Molly’s story kinda boring and confusing (and her actress’s voice a bit il fitting) but other then that the whole story was quite comical and emotional at times. Great additional book!!

I thought this was one of the better books of the series. It was nice to hear things from Hardens point of view zed and even mollys. I just wish the ending wasn’t so rushed in the last book. I feel like the author owed us more after we read all the books.

Nice to see other perspectives

If you are an Anna Todd Novels fan you will love it.
I really enjoyed reading the books but listening to the audiobook was something else.
The main thing is, not always when you reading you realise all the small story details.

Great performance...
