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, and I did not enjoy most of it. Yes, at times the characters were loveable and the storylines were interesting. But the series is riddled with bad writing, odd pacing, plot holes, repetitive storylines, etc. It's really not worth reading.

this is the WORST BOOK i have ever read. i started reading this series because i thought it would be hilariously bad, and the first two were. this one, however was so poorly written and overly long it canceled out any fun you could experience from reading it. i know that all of the books in the series follow the same formula and are almost carbon copies of each other, but at least the other two had some differences .
Spoiler
and didn’t both end with the same twistGraphic: Addiction, Toxic relationship, Sexual content, Sexism, and Misogyny
