As much as I enjoyed this, I wish there was more.

I loved reading other character’s POV, as it made things become clearer and made much more sense, especially with Steph and Molly. Reading Vance’s POV was a bit strange as I didn’t personally see the need for it. However, Hardin OBVIOUSLY stole the show.

I’m a sucker for this fictional man, but damn, do I wish we could see more of his POV during other scenes from After. Things seemed to be going in order, and then BAM! It started skipping scenes. Like, they go from staying at Ken’s house to saying “I love you” to each other as if there was nothing in between? With how many times it was mentioned in the other books that he wanted to back out of the Bet, I feel like we didn’t get any of that.

However, I absolutely loved reading Hardin’s POV and watching him fall in love with Tessa. Seeing him already slowly become a different person with her was so cute. The way he treats Smith? I was balling my eyes out. The ending was absolutely precious.

I’m happy, yet sad, to have finally finished this series. I already feel myself having a book hangover, and I need to go lie down. ❤️❤️
