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.

This book was honestly one of the best ones in the series, yes it was long but it was definitely worth it. The plot twist had me shook. I wouldn’t recommend if you don’t like reading sexual content because there’s a lot of it.
