My husband told me to take a chance and read this book good thing I have the details on Wattpad. I've read so far three chapters the abuse with Hardin and Tessa I can't stand the fine line details of how he thinks he can get away with abusing her.

The first few chapters I have read, I can't stand it, though I can't help but keep reading. The way that Anna Todd writes Hardin and Tessa makes me wonder if Ms. Todd had been in toxic relationships. She writes about it so vividly, though god, why does Hardin have to be suck a dick, and a great lover at the same time? I wonder so much I'm on chapter 14 now, you want a man Tessa who is nonexistent who can't treat you right, yet you enjoy the sex.

This book is the very definition of pick someone who is good for you, not a bad boy. Instead you want your caked, but you can't have it too. You want a relationship with Hardin but he isn't good for you just the sex is.

The sex scenes are very detailed so detailed it makes me wonder how can this even be remotely considered young adult romance? So when I came to this conclusion it doesn't matter what genre you write young adult, adult, smut doesn't matter the next generation know about sex, but they clearly don't know about romance.

I read up to chapter 14, the author switched from Hardin then starts writing about Harry. Okay, okay we know you have an obsession with Harry Styles.

My husband tells me that not all stories have happy endings, however, he is right. But in this case, why do you have to turn the protagonist's lover and boyfriend into a antagonist.

Guess, I could ask the same question in reality, us women we make mistakes in loving the wrong person instead of loving what's good for us. So, in a way I understand Tessa falls in love with a dickhead who betrays her and she turns into him that's my impression so far of book 2 After We Collided.

How do you say I hate you, and say everything under the sun to this guy yet you run back to him?? You want a good man to marry, and have children. Yet you keep crawling back to Hardin. Is it the drama Tessa loves? Or is it the sex she is addicted to?

I find it fascinating that Tessa hates Hardin one minute yet loves him at the same time. Is the genre Anna Todd Love and hate, then hate to love? I think what we write is different from what others write.

Reading this book to me, it makes me not want to read no more, but I am doing what my husband encouraged me to do keep reading and figure out this story.

Why is such a phonomime like the next twilight? God guess the After books are the new Twilight of this year. I would prefer Twilight at this point over these books.

Though if twilight was this smutty, probably would have liked that as a teenager, damn Stephanie Meyer why couldn't you make things more smutty for us?

Oh yes, Stephanie the reason why you couldn't was before the thought of smut not being this popular until now.

So now the rules of young adult romance I think these rules are out of the way after writing these books. All bets are off you can make young adult romance sexual scenes as detailed as possible. I believe this.

I just think how I would have wrote this would have been totally different, then again I'm not Anna Todd so I can't assume this. And I'm only halfway through this.

I will be writing the other half of the review with much more detail after I've completed reading this book.
