Dear god, Jane Austen and Emily Bronte would be apoplectic if they knew that their novels were being used as comparisons to this loathsome couple. Hardin Scott is a violent, disgusting predator. Tessa is a naive, dull hypocrite. Boring, repetitive and unbelievable characters. This book glamorizes emotional abuse and toxic behavior and lacked the melodramatic thrill of the first installment. It ended on a cliffhanger intended to stir up excitement for the next book, but I need a break from this series.

I really really really hate Hardin. What the hell is wrong with this guy?? Terrible book honestly. I have so many angry feelings I can't even write them down it's really that bad.

This read was a little slower for me (as I have already read the Wattpad version), but it was good just the same. Its an addicting story of up and down. You’re just eager to know what is going to happen to these guys next! Who will screw up? Who will be irrational?-Because at this point it’s really hard to say, between the two of them, they both could use some work.
Tessa and Hardin, have an all-consuming love. ALL-CONSUMING doesn’t mean healthy. He say's he can't be without her...a lot.
Like this....
These two are incredibly dysfunctional and CO-DEPENDENT as all hell!!, and I am fine with that. I can read this story, get sucked in and see if for what it is. …. the impulsive, possessive and manipulative way these two treat each other is wrong and unhealthy, but entertaining as hell to watch unfold. It’s no doubt they love one another and are devoted to a fault. I just hope they can pull it together before the end of this monster series.
**I am really hoping the published ending has changed for Hardin & Tessa, as I found the original rushed and somewhat ambiguous. For all this suffering through page after page, I’d like a little more closure than that. To see more of what the future may hold for them. Wish me luck!!
NO spoiler, just a rant-

The only thing that really worries me is the 12-16 years olds who are devouring this book as some great torrid love story that they can’t wait to try and replicate. I worry this is something that they will strive for or see as “normal”. Passion is good, crazy isn’t.
hi everyone this book made me intensely suicidal

“How do you know we’ll fight?” “Because it’s us.”
My opinion : I will not be reading anything else by Anna Todd because her writing is excessively horrible. I could notice multiple grammar mistakes in both “After” and “After We Collided”. I’m so confused how this book got published because of these little errors and how it’s only focus is on a toxic relationship. I have two friends who are obsessed with this book series and say “After We Collided” is their favorite book of all time, well... maybe it’s time for me to give them some book recommendations back. In “After We Collided” we meet Hardins mom, a sweet woman who has gone through her own trauma. She blatantly said that she tried to put Hardin in therapy because he’s always been damaged but he refused to talk. We also learn that as a teenager Hardin did underage drinking and drugs which I wasn’t surprised by because of his party nature in book one. But, I got so disgusted and almost dnf-ed while reading about how Hardin videotaped without consent his sexual encounters with one girl and shared it around his school getting him in big trouble. He even admitted that he didn’t feel that guilty about it but only realized it was bad when thinking how angry he would be if somebody did that to Tessa. At the end of the book Hardin beats up Tessa’s friend Zed who she went on a few dates with while broken up with Hardin. Hardin almost killed Zed but Tessa made Zed promise not to do criminal charges. I’m just disgusted with this book and how it romanticizes toxic behavior, victim blaming and hurting others.
I could continue ranting about how I don’t get how anybody likes this book forever but, I’ll stop and say I do not recommend this.
