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, so I wouldn't advise anybody to read it just for funsies. It's really not worth it. Even now after rereading them, I will say that I could not, would not read more than a couple of chapters a week. I would put it down for weeks or even months, because I couldn't handle how bad it was. And this is coming from someone who used to be such a huge fan of the book, I was reading chapters as soon as they came out. I'm just going to say that this is plain old bad writing, and I would not waste my time reading this book series if I were you.

I read this after watching the movie and again it did not disappoint. It took me longer to get into this book but honestly if you like the movies it’s worth the read. I wouldn’t recommend if you don’t like to read sexual content because there’s quite a bit of it.
