Before by Anna Todd
5.0

And I'm officially done with the After series!


This whole series was a roller coaster of emotions. I knew it was going to be, as I had heard about this series when it was all anyone could talk about when it was a fanfiction. I just didn't expect to get as emotionally invested in this series as I did. I was constantly wondering what was going to happen and what Tessa or Hardin were going to do next and when Zed or her mom was randomly going to show up or another obstacle was going to get in their way.

When I first started After, I didn't realize that Before was even a thing and kept thinking I would like to see Hardin's perspective so I was extremely happy when I found out that there was in fact a book in Hardin's POV.

I was slightly disappointed because it wasn't the whole book so I could see what he was doing at certain times, and what he was thinking during the whole book instead of just little snippets. I actually wouldn't mind the whole series in just Hardin's POV, to be honest just because I want the series to continue (I love it that much, lol).

I really liked the snippets of what I'm assuming is Hardin's After and learning a bit more about each of the other characters in the series. I especially liked Smith's point of view. Besides Hardin, he was probably my favorite character (and Tessa, of course).

Overall, I loved being able to see how the events of After started up and when the whole thing was made up between the group of friends and I really enjoyed getting a different view of the events of the story.

The series was long but is a quick read and if you don't mind quite a bit of R rated scenes, I highly recommend this series!
