After We Fell by Anna Todd

4.0

So.....just see my review of After....honestly. And, again, maybe this is filled with spoilers.

This continues the saga of Tessa and Hardin in all their abusive, dysfunctional glory. Still the red flags. Still the up and down. Still the emotional abuse, gaslighting behavior.

And still my warning: DO NOT read this book and glorify a relationship that is unhealthy. This is not OKAY in anyway. I don't really care what the high looks like if it is paired with a low that devastates, destroys and shatters a person over and over again.

And - no I won't say "Poor Tessa" or "Poor Hardin" although I do feel for Landon and Trevor and others who stood by sharing warnings.

My response to Hardin - Put on your big boy unders and build a bridge and get over it. There is nothing revealed in his past that a hundred others have not walked through and out of. It is NEVER okay to use your trauma and past to abuse and hurt others. You choose to be a gentle rain in the lives of others (nourishing and bringing life) or a hurricane that brings destruction. Choose carefully. When you love something you treasure it and take care of it.
