Up until about the 90% mark, I was having the same issues that I've had in the three previous books. What's another 500 pages at this point? I'm no quitter. Plus, after slogging through the 2,104 pages of the first three books.

But, like the book crack it is, it kept me just hooked enough to keep coming back for the next fix. This series finale gets 1 out of 5 stars.There were several times throughout this series when I thought, what am I doing? Why am I subjecting myself to this? Life is too short. But overall, it is just drama to pass the time.

Well, I am thankfully done with the series. I don’t mind the references that took place at the beginning of the series, but then it just became too much for me. This book should not be compared to those literary classics. Darcy and Elizabeth or Heathcliff and Catherine. The author compares #Hessa (insert eye-roll) to famous classic couples like Mr.

You have now reached the aspect that pissed me off the most. This book series is for those who just love the drama because the positive aspects probably make up 20 pages out of 2800 pages. It is so disorganized and just a really rushed ending. The ending jumps forward 2 years for a page or two, then jumps ahead another 2 years, then another 10 years. The last 1% is Hardin and Tessa in the future. 70% is Hardin and Tessa destroying themselves, each other, and everyone around them. Now, the whole series is about 2800 pages total, not including the Before book. That doesn’t happen and that is dangerous to tell teen and young adult women. One of the worst things about this series is that Tessa and Hardin take a little break and all of a sudden, Hardin is a semi-decent human. This should be an example of what should not happen in a relationship. It is abusive and toxic and this shouldn’t be romanticized in the slightest. The “problems” that Tessa and Hardin get into just revolve around jealousy and them trying to hurt each other. Everyone else is selfish, self-destructive…and idiotic. Except for Landon…he is the only decent human being in the series. One of the problems with the book is that I absolutely hate every single character with a passion. That is the one thing about this series…it is addicting. Yep, that is it.Īt least I know how the series ends now. Hey, at least this book isn’t 800 pages like the last couple of books in the series. They go back and forth for about 400 pages. He soon finds out that she is grieving a family member’s death, (trying to avoid spoilers) so he all of a sudden decides that he needs to be there for her. Then he decides to destroy his relationship with Tessa. The book begins with Hardin throwing a tantrum and destroying a bar. I would write a detailed synopsis, but what is the point? If you have read the first three books then there is nothing new. After Ever Happy by Anna Todd is the last book in the After Series.
