Description

Experience the internet's most talked-about book, now a major motion picture, from Anna Todd, the writer Cosmopolitan called “the biggest literary phenomenon of her generation.”
There was the time before Tessa met Hardin, and then there’s everything AFTER...Life will never be the same. #Hessa
Tessa is a good girl with a sweet, reliable boyfriend back home. She’s got direction, ambition, and a mother who’s intent on keeping her that way.
But she’s barely moved into her freshman dorm when she runs into Hardin. With his tousled brown hair, cocky British accent, and tattoos, Hardin is cute and different from what she’s used to.
But he’s also rude—to the point of cruelty, even. For all his attitude, Tessa should hate Hardin. And she does—until she finds herself alone with him in his room. Something about his dark mood grabs her, and when they kiss it ignites within her a passion she’s never known before.
He'll call her beautiful, then insist he isn’t the one for her and disappear again and again. Despite the reckless way he treats her, Tessa is compelled to dig deeper and find the real Hardin beneath all his lies. He pushes her away again and again, yet every time she pushes back, he only pulls her in deeper.
Tessa already has the perfect boyfriend. So why is she trying so hard to overcome her own hurt pride and Hardin's prejudice about nice girls like her?
Unless...could this be love?

I really wanted to like this book and have never 1 starred a book in my life. I figured they’re making a movie about it how bad can it be? The answer is awful. I wanted to empathise with the main male character but honestly he was just unlikeable and horrible. Is his background story sad? Well yes but it doesn’t justify what an awful guy he is. Please save your money and buy elsewhere and definitely don’t go see the movie as it needs sunk ASAP!

LOVE ITTTT

I’ve never fallen in love with a book and I’ve never really been interested in book and when I first saw the teaser trailer for this I feel in love. I started reading it on Wattpad and i can’t express how much I love this book and I’m so happy that I’ve come across it
I cant wait for the movie now I’ve recommended this to so many of my friends and they love it as well
I absolutely adore Anna for her work and I wish her the best of luck in her career ❤️❤️

Loved this book!

Amazing book! Haven’t read a good book trilogy in a few years! I Couldn’t put it down I’m now on the 3rd book of the series after only starting this book 3 days ago! I love that the story outlines that not all relationships are like fairytales! Every relationship has good and bad and if you can grow and learn from your mistakes isn’t it worth all the heartache in the end! In reality a lot of what happens in the book does happen in real life.. Thank you Anna for giving a book that has made me fall in love with reading again!! :)

Look, yet another book about a manipulative, emotionally/verbally abusive dysfunctional man controlling an intelligent woman who starts out strong but is extremely emotionally weak by the end? How is that romance? Why would anyone write a romance book where that kind of guy is the ‘catch’? It’s awful that you’re writing characters that put up with emotional abuse over and over again and sell it as a romance novel.
Horrible, exhausting read that makes you hate each character.

Blown away!

This is by far my favourite book as I have read it at least 4 times, have no clue what some people are talking about it supporting abusive relationship when in fact it doesn't, it's not a abusive relationship but Hardin is troubled and has trust problems, would and have recommended it to people x

I didn't used to like reading that much, till I got into wattpad, always Harry styles fanfics, I read after when it was a fanfiction and not published. It was literally the best thing ever... I didn't care about texting, tv... Sleep... It's addictive and just all round perfect. I have the published books and am still obsessed I am just in love with it. I'm in love with Hardin and I'm in love with the Anna Todd for writing this insanely beautiful and dangerous novel. I know nobody will read this because I'm just rambling on. But seriously read this book. I can't put into words how much I love it and how good it is.
Thank you Anna Todd for this amazing gift X
Ps. I read someone saying Anna Todd should join us in the real world? Isn't that what books are all about...? Leaving the real world and forgetting about reality? Thanks xx

Such a good book

I've read this book do many times and I still find it the best romance novel. I don't get how it promotes a abusive relationship. I would defiantly recommend it to anyone who likes romance. It has so many twists and turns you just can't put it down. It is very different from all the other romance novels I read and it is unique. So good.

It's just not the same :(

I have read all the after books on wattpad. I was one of the people who waited for the updated and read each book as it came out. But this just isn't the same.
Sure the story line may be the same but just changing the names changes the story. All the people who've read it on wattpad know the story as a Harry Styles fan fic.
I'm sorry but it's just the same. All you people who are like me read it on wattpad as it was being written don't bother buying it. I didn't enjoy it as much and in all honesty I think it's a bit over rated. There are better fan find out there that deserved to be published more than this.

Women should not believe that an abusive relationship is something to romanticise. Disgusting, would give 0 stars if possible.

ik a lot of people have been saying this promotes abusive relationships, but really it does the opposite. when u read this it doesn't make you like Haydn, instead it urges u to find someone that u love the same amount, but treats you right. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, showing that anyone can achieve something if u put your mind to it. well done wattpad for uncovering such talent for creating something so gripping!

Yea

The book series promotes an abusive , harmful relationship. The plot is poorly structured with about 30 different themes stitched together so that it becomes confusing. If you are really desperate to read such a poor piece of literature, then remember it's free on Wattpad . Wouldn't even give it 1 star if I had the choice.

Love this

I haven't read all of this I only read the first 7 chapters on sample but it's just like your one on Wattpad infant it's the same all you have done is changed the names like its Hardin instead of Harry 💕

Repetitive, Uninspired & Tasteless

Long story short, my husband bought me this book for Christmas, I read it, and would recommend Ms. Todd join us in the real world. Hideously written with a shocking lack of any substance. I am having problems selling it on, as everyone else I know who received this for Christmas is giving it away for free.
It would be redundant of me to review the content in depth, as it is, quite simply, 50 Shades of Grey for children. Absolutely shocking.

Awful

Don't buy this book. It's awful for many reasons.
It promotes abusive relationship. Half the book is actually copied. It is teaching young children that it is okay to be abused and the author is a liar. I'm trying to help you so please don't read this book.

Doesn't even deserve one star.

I cannot count the amount of times I have read and re read this book. I found it on wattpad and was amazed by the quality and content. To me it wasn't just a fanfiction, but a piece of literature. I'm so proud of Anna and wish her all the luck in the world.
