tense
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated

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, so I wouldn't advise anybody to read it just for funsies. It's really not worth it. Even now after rereading them, I will say that I could not, would not read more than a couple of chapters a week. I would put it down for weeks or even months, because I couldn't handle how bad it was. And this is coming from someone who used to be such a huge fan of the book, I was reading chapters as soon as they came out. I'm just going to say that this is plain old bad writing, and I would not waste my time reading this book series if I were you.
