“After” By Anna Todd Review

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. 

I am very surprised over the fact how much I love this book. There is really something about it which made me love this book. 

The size of this book have animated me before I started reading it. Because this book has around 580 pages depending on what version of this book you get. Which really makes it to a big book. However after reading this book, I was left with the feeling that this book was too short. 

The plot in this book is very unique but at the same time very generic in a way. But I loved it. There is something very unique about the plot in this book. The best way to describe it is the plot in this book uses the generic plot for YA and romance and then presents us it in a very unique way.

The main characters in this book are Tessa and Hardin. And to be honest they both are super relatable however they are the polar opposites of each other. Tessa is the ultimate good girl and Hardin is the ultimate bad boy. And the process of seeing them change each other slowly really makes this whole book so much better.

The side characters are also so incredible, because they feel like real human beings with their unique personalities and something which set them apart from each other. 

The writing style here so incredible, its almost like the author knows what words to use to fully grab you and not let you go until you finish the book. Which I personally love when it happens. Because it feels like the author tells the story just for you to like it.

The most annoying thing about this book for me personally, was the huge cliffhanger this book leaves us with. After I finished this book I was angry in a way that it would leave us with the biggest cliffhanger ever, but at the same time it made me want to grab the second book in this series to find out what will happen next. 

To be honest that’s my whole dynamics with this book, I hate it but at the same time I love it.

I Give This Book 5 / 5
