About this ebook

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

it feels that had happened alright to Simone that I know and the book is so nice and I enjoy of reading it about Tessa and Hardin they are a cute couple it feels its real and I feel like I am imagining it from my mind on how it should be like and it tells you that love is not easy at all and falling in love is beautiful and magical when two people like each other it feels like is happening to me already and the book makes me feel that I have butterflies in my stomach but in a good and pastive way this tells me that love can be pastive and negative in a relationship when two people like each but there must be no lies in a relationship there must be honesty and trust to the couple who really love and care for each other because there bond is unbreakable and it true that's how love should be and not toxic in a relationship that is fool of lies in it they should be happiness and joy to the couples and have endless love that will never fates away and that it should be strong and sweet as

Reading this first as a teenager, this book was the perfect mix of humor, drama, and romance. However, this book has to be simply a one-time read, as the use of excessive tensions between the love interests does not create angst for the readers as may have been intended, but rather creates a toxic relationship. The drama between the love interests gets so intense to the point where readers start questioning the need for the characters to be together versus having their peace of mind.

This is the best book I've ever read the drama .and the undying affection that they have for each other is beautiful they make it seem like it's real I won't lie Anna todd went hard on this book keep doing the good work and I want more books like this 🦋🖤💔🌈
