You have to finish the first 4 books before you read this one.

I for some reason find myself liking very much these books I have read them all by now and I really like them. This book is Hardin's point of view of chapter 1 and it has some spoilers about the other books, I like it because it takes you back to see who and how Hardin was feeling at the beginning of the saga. I am not going to talk about Tessa because I kinda dislike the character in the movie so I'm just going to keep my thoughts to myself, but this book is great and won't bore you.

They are so easy to read and after watching the movie After on Netflix I like Hardin even more...
I am currently waiting for movie #2...

Fight me.
I truly liked the way Anna showed us Hardin's mind. Both before and after the things the books showed us.
I'll provably write s longer version of this review after. but it's 12:14am in Christmas eve and I'm sleepy.

Edit:
Hardin's side of the story it's the typical 'I know it's wrong but I'm going to try and justifying it anyways'. So it wasn't really a great explanation or a fantastical redemption tale. But it was great.

We got side stories for both Molly and Steph, and now I totally understand a few things.

The ending. I just adore reading of that Hardin, it's simply magnificent.
I liked it very much.

Loved it. It was nice to see POVs of other characters and more of Hardin’s POV. Don’t expect anything different or new because this is literally supposed to be only Hardin’s POV on things that happened so things will repeat a little bit. That’s how these books work so if you’re mad about it, simply don’t read it, no one’s forcing you into this
