Everything seems smooth sailing until Hardin takes Tessa to London for his mother’s wedding. He is hesitant at first because he’s scared that Tessa will judge his past and origins. With Vance’s encouragement, Hardin invites Tessa to his mother’s wedding. Things appear fine, but the happiness is short-lived. The night before his mother’s wedding, Hardin accidentally encounters Vance having sex with his mom. Kimberly finds out about Vance’s cheating ways and is furious with him. Things take for the worse when Vance reveals to Hardin a long-lost secret. 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. Part Two: During - Part two happens during After. The story is told solely from Hardin's point of view and includes twenty-three chapters.

Are you almost done?" Pink hair and swollen lips look up at me from between my legs. I had nearly forgotten she was here.. One night, Tessa attends a nightclub with her co-workers to pique a potential investor's interest. However, after too many drinks, things got hot and heavy. From dancing with strangers to one accidental kiss, Tessa, in her drunken stupor, calls Hardin and gloats about how much she’s having now. Trevor suddenly finds her and the two return to their hotel room. Tessa accidentally spills her wine onto Trevor’s clothes and asks him to undress, so she can wash off the stains. All of a sudden, Hardin storms into the room, angry at a half-naked Trevor and cursing him out of the room. The pair’s rage doesn’t last long, and eventually, the two sleep with each other. It occurs to Tessa that she might have to walk away but she knows it won’t be so easy, not after all their nights of electric passion. Tessa is putting everything on hold for Hardin’s sake; however, she doesn’t know how much longer she can keep it up.Todd's writing was initially inspired by the music and fandom of One Direction, and the singer Harry Styles is a model for the protagonist in her After series, under the name Hardin Scott.

[1] If Anna Todd’s first book was divisive, the debates that surround its sequel are even more passionate. His parents were changing with the seasons. His dad grew louder, sloppier, and his mum grew more and more tired, her sobs filling the night, louder and louder. The smell of tobacco and worse began to fill the walls of the small house. As sure as the dishes overflowing the sink was the smell of scotch on his dad’s breath. As the months went on, he would sometimes forget what his dad looked like altogether.

I’m desperate! BEFORE Hardin met Tessa he was a raging storm. DURING those first moments they met, he realized he needed to keep her for himself—his life depended on it. AFTER they got together, the world would never be the same. The snow was falling, blanketing the concrete as he sat alone in the parking lot. His hands were gripping the steering wheel of his old Ford Capri and he could barely see straight, let alone think straight. How could he have done this? How did it go so far so fast? He wasn't sure but he knew, he felt it deep down inside of himself that he shoudn't have done it and he knew that he would regret it. He already did.
