Thank god it’s over!!!!!! These book have messed with my head!!! Don’t get me wrong, I have loved every second of them, but gees!!!! “Before” was a look at the whole story of the “After” series, through the eyes of the main male character. I always like these types of books as it gives you a little more understanding of the male. It also gave you closure to some of the other characters, which for me was awesome as I love closure!!! As a series the books hade me frustrated, irritated, infuriated, happy, sad, and relieved. What a whirl wind ride!!! I’m sure I’ll end up reading these again one day, probably not in the too distant future.

I actually enjoyed this book most of all. I worried that it would be pointless to read it because it I had read a few reviews that said it was the exact same as the previous books just from Hardin’s perspective but it’s much more than that.

For one thing, it has more people talking than just Hardin. He introduces each chapter, but we really get to hear from everyone, including Steph and Smith and Vance and literally everyone. It’s awesome.

The sexy stuff in this book is

At first I wasn’t to thrilled. I just wasn’t as fond of the “before” part. It was hard for me to go back to the “old” Hardin in the “during” part, but I got used to it. I loved the “after” part though.
I would still recommend everyone to read this book just to have the full circle. It does give some more insights to everything and somehow makes the whole Steph plot-twist more realistic.

I loved the after books and have read them so many times but this is one that I could only read once unfortunately I was so excited to read it from Hardins POV but the story would jump from different scenes and then bits were missing which annoyed me
