About this listen

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?

Engaging from the start

A story that starts well and finishes strong. The characters are well developed and the story keeps moving well.

teenager fifty Shades

After is the teenage version of fifty Shades of Grey. The chapter lengths are very annoying- too short

Thank you Anna Todd x

I loved this book so much as it was so different from other love stories that I had read before. I’m not normally a book person but Anna Todd really got me hooked and I read all of the series in less than a month. Between watching the movies, reading the books, rereading the books and following the cast and Anna herself, it is a thing that brings great joy to my life and has gotten me through a lot of bad times where I just needed to escape. Feeling all of the feelings to a great extent I never ever get bored of this series. I suggest it to all of my friends when I can get the chance! Definitely for an older audience as there are some pretty hot and heavy scenes. If you’re not a hopeless romantic who loves a good love story with a twist this series is not for you.

narration

even tho this is a story about a young man and woman and is read by only one woman, she still manages to deliver the feels and expression of all the characters voices, 100% loved it, I watched the movies first then decided to listen to the audio book and I'm so glad, such a wonderful, beautiful and heartbreaking story, I look forward to listen to the rest 🩷

Being abusive is not a quirky character trait.

Louder for the people in the back!
!BEING ABUSIVE IS NOT A QUIRKY CHARACTER TRAIT!

Are you looking for a book that includes slut shaming, abusive relationships, judgemental attitudes, romanticising underage alcoholism and sex whilst only one person is under the influence (cough, rape, abuse of power cough) than this book is for you.

Spoiler alert:
I was hoping he would kill her in the end or at least try to and this story would be a moral to all people to pick up the signs of abuse but it sadly wasn’t.

Hardin isn’t romantic, this is not a healthy relationship to idolise and it makes me physically ill.

I am sick of the “boy is mean to me so I love him” story line. This is not real life. This is pathetic.

Good enough to pass the time

If you don't mind stories about naive young girls allowing moron boys to treat them like dirt this is the book for you. That said, I listened all they way through the cringey, eye-rolling, smh moments to the end.
The story moves at a very slow pace, and seems to stroll until the wedding, then sprints to the finish line.
Dissatisfied that the advertised bonus material (read by Anna Todd & Hero Fiennes-Tiffin) did not download so I feel slightly ripped off. Waiting for a reply from Audible and/or tech support.
