Graphic: Sexual assault

If you are someone who has been sexually assaulted, part of this book will be triggering. I’m ashamed that Anna Todd did not put a trigger warning at the beginning. The scene was also completely unnecessary to the plot, so it felt like she put it in for a shock value. As someone who has been sexually assaulted, it was not handled well and should never have been added.

This book had NO reason being 800+ pages. I think this is the book where I truly started to lose it when it comes to Hardin and Tessa's relationship. Like, the whole first part of the book is them fighting over Tessa moving to Seattle. Hardin refuses to go with her for basically no reason at all (he’s realizing he’s a loser with no life accomplishments, and can’t stand a woman having a brighter future than him) Then halfway through the book he just changes his mind, and decides to move to Seattle!?!?! So what the hell were the 400 pages for? God, just thinking about how Hardin was in this book makes my blood boil. This book truly shows how Anna Todd has actually no idea what to do with the characters and just creates the most dumb and unnecessary situations for plot material. Like, the fact that Tessa almost got raped by Stef?!?!? FUCK HESSA

I read this book series twice in my life: Once as a One-Direction-obsessed preteen and then again when the After movie came out and I wanted to remember what the original book series was like. I read them on Wattpad, so I'm talking ORIGINAL original (mainly because I would not spend my money on this trash). I have a million and one reasons why I don't like this book series, but I don't want to go through them all right now or this would be a very long review. 

I reread this series purely for the nostalgia, and I did not enjoy most of it. Yes, at times the characters were loveable and the storylines were interesting. But the series is riddled with bad writing, odd pacing, plot holes, repetitive storylines, etc. It's really not worth reading.
