After We Collided by Anna Todd

1.0

---

Yeah-hell no. This was horrible for so many different reasons. So many. The abuse of different natures, the writing, the fact that it's bland as if expecting me to know the ins and outs like a mind reader like details to certain, important parts were basic. This is a prime example of a toxic relationship that verges on an abusive one. He's gaslighted her, thrown her out, shoved her, blamed her for his own mistakes, stalked her, nearly had her uproot her future. That's terrifying. I've read books that are high-key smut and intense, but they haven't crossed this line. This is a dangerous line that is scary. He may be fictional, but Hardin doesn't need a relationship. He needs psychological help. Still, I've heard people say the books get better and I'm not sure if I believe that, but I do hate leaving a series only halfway finished.

P.S. It took so much effort not to edit this entire book myself. Whoever did it did a bad job. This easily could be condensed while extended in certain places by at least 200 pages.
