Before (Volume 5) (The After Series)

Product Information

Hardin and Molly are incredibly similar in how they deal with what life has made of them and I really appreciated seeing the parallels between the two. We already knew that Molly is a flawed character, but her brief narrative shows us a softer, more vulnerable and hurt side of her than we could have imagined, and I loved it. That’s why I want to see more of her: we see her as a real person and not just the original series version of the character.

Tessa and Hardin were certain they could make things work, but that was before a revelation shook Tessa’s world. Now she isn’t so certain that she knows Hardin. The boy hated the taste the cigarettes left, but loved the way the smoke filled his lungs, stealing his breath. He found himself smoking every single one, and then he bought more. He made friends, if you could call a group of rebels and delinquents who caused more trouble than they were worth friends. He began to stay out late, and the little white lies and harmless pranks the group of angry boys would play began turning into more serious crimes. They turned into something darker, something that they all knew was wrong—the deepest level of wrong—but they thought they were just having fun. They were entitled and couldn’t deny the adrenaline rush that came with the power they felt. After each innocence they stole, their veins pulsed with more arrogance, more hunger, fewer boundaries.

Anna Todd is an American author best known for her ‘After’ series which, interestingly enough began as fanfiction about the band One Direction.

When he met the blue-eyed girl with dark hair, he knew she was there to test him in new ways. She was kind, the gentlest spirit he had met so far . . . and she was infatuated with him. The first book from Anna Todd tends to attract a lot of fierce debates, mostly because for everyone that absolutely loves the novel, there is someone who truly loathes it. The book can be categorized as YA and has been compared to Fifty Shades of Gray for good reason.

The first four After films were all pretty well-aligned with Anna Todd's corresponding novels of the same names. However, After Ever Happy (number four) is where the book series ends, meaning After Everything won't be based on one release in particular. That’s not to say it’s not complicated yet: After is, and always will be, an exceptionally troubled love story that you shouldn’t recreate. But with the release of Before, readers can expect to experience the depth of more than just Hardin Scott and his past, and how he came to feel for our beloved Tessa Young. If you don’t know the series yet… After is about Tessa, a naive girl and what she experiences in the first months of university. Hardin is a disturbed young man who is fascinated by her. At first they had this confusing love-hate thing, but after spending time together, their relationship turns into something more.
