The After series is certainly not one to write home about unless you’re writing to tell how annoying, long, and terribly written it is. I hardly ever say a book is bad, but I can’t not with this one. I read the first completely absorbed and able to get past the terrible relationship and Fifty Shades wannabe writing. With the second I literally yelled out loud multiple times and wanted to throw my phone across the room. Thank goodness I didn’t actually pay to read this.
The characters are contradictory in every thought and action. The book endorsed abusive and toxic relationships. None of the behavior Hardin or even Tessa displays is ok. This was written by a teen that magically made arguments and abuse ok. It’s not. Don’t think the relationship is how love should be.

I had this feeling that this was going to get worse but I gave it a second chance. Sometimes second chances change my opinion about a series. Not the case.
If I was fed up with all the I love you-we split up-we come back thing at the beginning, when I finished this book I swear I wanted to throw my phone out of the window. In addition, this book had inconsistencies on the plot. They introduce new problems that dissapear for 300 pages or never appear again.
And I'm sure this is the first time I hate more than one character at a time. I just can't stand Tessa. I can't stand Hardin. I can't stand Ken. They are all so egocentric, stupid characters! But Tessa is the worst. I mean, she does nothing but cry and get revenge in the whole book, and then she comes back crying that after all she's done for the relationship it keeps falling apart? Oh, come on. She's such a victimist. If anything, it was Hardin the one who made the effort, in spite of his obsessive behaviour.
And I think I have nothing else to say. I'll probably keep reading this series until I finish but only because I still wonder HOW ON EARTH DID SHE MANAGE TO FILL ANOTHER 1200 PAGES?! You'll see me around here soon comenting the other two. Not that I expect anything from them though.

I knew Hardin was something else from the first book, but this is ridiculous

2.5⭐️ (several scenes but not too descriptive IMO)
