To understand what the After series is about, first, you need to know who Tessa and Hardin are. The story is quick to ignite a passion that soon explodes into an all-out wildfire, and then before you know it, all the drama and everything that is wrong with Tessa and Hardin’s relationship quickly tears them apart. Not to spoil too much, but unlike the aforementioned classics, After gets its happy ending. Just kidding, because I love both those couples, but this page is dedicated to #Hessa only. Same goes for Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby- get outta here! Welcome to the After book series by Anna Todd What is the After series about?Įat your heart out, Catherine and Heathcliff, because there’s a new toxic twosome in town: Tessa Young and Hardin Scott from the After series books by Anna Todd. Moving along, let’s jump into the After books. Me and the rest of the Hessa posse can’t wait to feast our eyes on each and every visual treat. So deeply that the first two books have already been adapted to film. Her personal experience with Wattpad proved she had the tenacity and chops to write the damn thing, and the fact that her work garnered millions of reads on the writing platform… well, I’d say her story resonated deeply with people. They say to “write what you know,” and Anna Todd knows what makes an unputdownable romance story. From fanfic writer to international bestselling author Her ability to transfer the excitement and unknown of navigating first love and heartache to readers comes across so truthfully, it’s like you’re right there with the characters, feeling what they feel, thinking what they think, making the same mistakes they make.

In her writing, you can see how much inspiration-the emotional and physical depth-she drew from her relationship with her husband in creating the saga of Tessa and Hardin. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like that’s a rare, rare feat these days. I think one of the things that makes her so interesting is that she married her high school sweetheart and they are still together. Her runaway success with the books has won over the hearts of readers from around the world-not just her home country of the United States-but the UK, Asia, Australia, all across Latin America… her reach spans the entire globe.īorn in Small Town Ohio, just north of Cincinnati, Anna Todd has also lived in Austin, Texas, and currently lives in Los Angeles. No, really, she is an absolute goddess when it comes to crafting these addictively compelling stories rife with beautifully flawed, unforgettable characters. Simply put, Anna Todd is a literary goddess.
