This wasn't bad per se... It just felt like After fanfiction. And we really didn't need a full book. Hardin's backstory was interesting but we already new most of it. The parts we know from Tessa's point of view were boring and repetitive. And the ending was brilliant but it could have been an epilogue of After Ever Happy. Not bad but not necessary...
