After Ever Happy by Anna Todd
3.0

Finally…finally Tessa realizes her relationship is toxic. It took too many second chances and tragic events to come to this realization but she did. She is struggling with her love for Hardin and her dreams to find her own identity. She moves to NYC and they spend years apart, for the better. It definitely has a different feel then the other books and I liked the way the series ended and I am glad it ended years after a time apart. Also Hardin writing a book, did not see that happening.

Fav Quotes:
“Seriously, it's okay to be sad, but if you let sadness control your life, you'll never have one.”
“After everything, we made it. Whatever the hell our souls are made of, they are the same.”
“You won’t know how lucky you are to be able to spend your life with the other half of your soul until you have to spend your life without them.”
“You shouldn’t date someone if your heart is owned by someone else. It doesn’t work, trust me.”
“I saw the empty, sad girl smile for the sad boy who loves her with all of his broken soul.”

“We needed to be able to stand alone before we could stand together, and I'm so thankful that we made it through the darkness, the fighting, the pain, and emerged hand in hand, stronger than ever.”

“It’s not so easy to walk away from someone when he has made his way into every cell, when he has taken over every thought, and he has been responsible for the best and worst feelings I’ve ever had. No one, not even the doubting part of me, can make me feel bad for loving passionately and hoping desperately that I could have that great love that I’ve read about in novels.”
