About this eBook
Experience the internet's most talked-about book, now a major motion picture, from Anna Todd, the writer Cosmopolitan called “the biggest literary phenomenon of her generation.”
There was the time before Tessa met Hardin, and then there’s everything AFTER...Life will never be the same. #Hessa
Tessa is a good girl with a sweet, reliable boyfriend back home. She’s got direction, ambition, and a mother who’s intent on keeping her that way.
But she’s barely moved into her freshman dorm when she runs into Hardin. With his tousled brown hair, cocky British accent, and tattoos, Hardin is cute and different from what she’s used to.
But he’s also rude—to the point of cruelty, even. For all his attitude, Tessa should hate Hardin. And she does—until she finds herself alone with him in his room. Something about his dark mood grabs her, and when they kiss it ignites within her a passion she’s never known before.
He'll call her beautiful, then insist he isn’t the one for her and disappear again and again. Despite the reckless way he treats her, Tessa is compelled to dig deeper and find the real Hardin beneath all his lies. He pushes her away again and again, yet every time she pushes back, he only pulls her in deeper.
Tessa already has the perfect boyfriend. So why is she trying so hard to overcome her own hurt pride and Hardin's prejudice about nice girls like her?
Unless...could this be love?

This is the best love book I have ever read. And I've read a lot and I thought Crossfire was my favorite, but no... This story made me feel sad for them, made me suffer while they were suffering, made me feel all the feelings they felt... It so amazing, so real, you can almost say you know them... And I have started now read it for the third time and I usually don't re-read books. I'm just soooo in their world.

This was a fantastic book, I however made the mistake of watching the films before reading this. So there I was thinking that I knew what was coming next, when in reality I knew nothing! The films are great, but the books are so much better. I have brought all 5 books, so I will review each one, once I have read them. Currently I am near the end of book 2, as I do not get to read as much as I'd like. I'm giving book one a 5 star rating and I recommend this series to anyone that enjoys a bad boy, that is only good for her 😉

I love this series so much. I started reading because I'm patiently waiting for the movie (After we collided) to appear on Netflix 😂. I don't know how much sleep I got during the times I've over read these books but the sleep deprivation was totally worth it.
