After By Anna Todd

I want to start off by saying that this book is not for everyone. The reason I say this is because this book is real. The issues the couple faces and the way that the characters interact are very real. I say this because as a young adult I relate to this book a lot. It’s not a sugar coated story where everything is happy and bright. The characters struggle and to me that was the best thing about this series. Even as a fan of the book I could totally understand why someone wouldn’t enjoy reading it, but I enjoyed the book because of how raw it was. Hardin clearly loves Tessa but as the books progress it’s obvious he’s scared.

I enjoyed seeing how the characters grew from the first book to the last book. When reading this book, I think people forget that Tessa and Hardin are very young. They are both at a confusing time in their lives, college. They both struggle with finding their way along with family issues.

Tessa SEEMS like the perfect girl. It appears as though she has her whole life planned out, but it’s not really the life she wants. She sees college as an opportunity to find herself and eventually she does at the end of the series. Yes she makes mistakes, but what college student doesn’t? Same thing goes for Hardin and though what he did is unforgivable at times, it’s important to know that he KNOWS that he messed. He feels remorse and does try to make up for it. Hardin’s character growth was the best to me because the truth is, the world is full of Hardin’s who just never got their story told. The way he matures and the way that Tessa’s love changed him into a better man is what makes the story so good. Yes there is a HEA at the end of the series, but it’s a long journey. This is not a happy romance where the couple faces one or two problems and then gets married. There are a lot of hurdles but to me it just makes for a more interesting story.

Lastly, as a reader you can take away a lot from this story. Personally what stuck with me was that love is not always easy. Realistically, a couple will grow through a lot of problems. Will they be as extreme as Tessa’s? Probably not. But what’s important is that they make it through with more love for each other. They end up in a happy, non-toxic relationship. There are more important lessons but I would prefer not to spoil the books.

I related to this book a lot because quite honestly the characters were lost. I’m at a point in my life where I have that same sort of feeling. Tessa and Hardin have some major problems but they over come them. This book showed me that sometimes being lost isn’t always bad because the end results can be worth it. I don’t mean that in a romantic way but more in a general way.

Also, many people do think that Tessa was a toxic relationship. I personally don’t because Tessa was lost before Hardin and Hardin was lost before Tessa. Many think that’s Tessa was better off without him, but I don’t think she was really herself. She was the person the people around her wanted her to be, not the person she wanted to be. Hardin showed her who she was and she did the same for him. I don’t think Hardin was really living before he met Tessa and Tessa wasn’t truly happy until she met Hardin. This is my interpretation but everyone views things differently.
