Now with new exclusive material!

Experience Anna Todd’s million-copy-selling story that started it all.

Tessa goes off to college with a dependable boyfriend waiting at home and her life and career neatly planned out. On her first day on campus, everything shifts when she encounters Hardin. With his disheveled brown locks, cocky British charm, and a canvas of tattoos, he’s a stark departure from her familiar world.

But Hardin’s rudeness borders on cruelty, and Tessa resolves to hate him. At least until they share a charged moment alone—and suddenly, Tessa is questioning everything she’s ever known about herself.

Despite his hot-and-cold attitude, Tessa is drawn to uncover the hidden layers within Hardin. In the midst of her newfound independence and electrifying uncertainty, Tessa’s connection with Hardin feels like the passionate love she’s been looking for. With her carefully laid plans forever disrupted, what comes after?

Ratings and reviews

If you don't mind stories about naive young girls allowing moron boys to treat them like dirt this is the book for you. That said, I listened all they way through the cringey, eye-rolling, smh moments to the end, and annoyingly (embarrassingly) I'm about to start book two. The story moves at a painfully slow pace, and seems to stroll until the wedding, then sprints to the finish line. Well narrated. Elizabeth Louise has a pleasant and easy to listen to voice and represents the characters well.

this book is my life ❤️ it changed the way i looked towards love it changed the way i believed in love and like it says whatever our souls are made of this book and mine are same. i finally found someone who understood this. thanks Anna todd i just wanna meet you

I first watched the movie then read the book. The book made everything come together. I loved the movie and the book. Yes there was awsome parts missing from the movie but I think Anna did it justice. Great job Anna your amazing.
