4.0 out of 5 starsSo much angst!
July 9, 2017
After finishing After, I had to dive right into After We Collided to get more of Tessa and Hardin and this book was just as angsty and full of drama as After!

After We Collided picks up right where After finishes and in this book we get both Hardin and Tessa's points of view which was helpful. Watching the pain these two characters go through to try to find their way back to one another had me on edge throughout most of this book. These two had to go through so much and I felt myself wanting to strangle both of these characters multiple times in this book!

Every single time I think these two may have finally figured things out, and may finally get a chance at happiness something comes up and things go downhill and quickly, but this time it's Tess that seems to do a lot of the misunderstanding and messing up. She jumps to conclusions over and over again and never gives Hardin time to explain before jumping to the worst case scenario and doing something drastic. Granted, she has her reasons with everything he's done, but she ends up hurting them more than helping them so many times in this book. Hardin really has shown he's willing to try to be a better man and has worked so hard to gain Tessa's trust but she seems to throw it away every time he mispeaks or does one thing wrong, forgetting that everything is so new for Hardin and that the relationship isn't just her, but it's both of them in it together.

I really did enjoy the journey that the author took us on in this book and how far we got to see these characters grow so far, but I am want to see things finally start to work out for them and I want to see Tessa start to be more honest with Hardin, especially now that he's doing so much to earn her back and be honest with her! She owes that to him and she can't be keeping secrets from him anymore, it's driving me insane!

I will definitely be picking up the next book ASAP and diving right into it, because this series has become an addiction. If you're a lover of the new adult genre and like angst, this is definitely the series for you!

2.0 out of 5 starsReaching a Dramatic Straws...
February 21, 2019
I absolutely fell in love with the first book and it left at a cliffhanger that had me jumping immediately to this book. At first I was drawn into the roller coaster that is Tessa and Hardin, but I felt like it was very stretched out. I’m an avid reader of books like these.. the first book is usually the meet up, the second is the heart break and reconciliation, and the last book is usually the comeback and happy ending. At the end of the this book, I didn’t get the same feeling of wanting to jump into the next one. I was surprised, but I was like.. why are there still 2 books? How? I had to read spoilers because I was getting annoyed at the drawn out drama. Come to find out, the characters take a series of turns and I can’t subject myself to more drama and no real reconciliation. SPOILER (KIND OF..) I heard the ending was just thrown in without that sense of relief to the reader that they felt that love and connection and went forward with their lives as a happily ever after. This series could have easily been made into 3 books and left some of the useless drama out if it. I won’t read the rest, but I’ll absolutely watch the movies and hope for a more satisfying ending... with a little less of the unneeded drama. Do yourself a favor and just read the end, but I cant guarantee you’ll feel satisfied with the ending.

5.0 out of 5 starsMUST READ.
April 10, 2019
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
Do yourself a favor and buy this!! I love this entire series too much! Lol. I actually returned this book because it took too long to get here. I finished the first book more quickly than I thought I would (1.5 days!) so I downloaded the audio version bc I HAD to know what happened next! This book took me on a roller coaster of emotions. I love & hate the dynamic between Tessa and Hardin. Got through this book in 2 days. I couldn’t stop! You won’t be able to either. I loved that you get both Tessa and Hardin’s view points. I appreciated Hardin’s character much more once I was able to see what was going on in his mind. Not many books have made me cry actual tears, but this book did. The whole series did. Anna Todd knows how to pull at your heart strings. The series get better and better with each book. You really need to read the first book, After, to understand and appreciate this book. If drama isn’t your thing, you probably won’t like it. I normally wouldn’t like this type of book, but the angst was addicting! 50 shades meets pride and prejudice is a good way to describe it. A MUST READ.

4.5 stars for After We Collide by Anna Todd. This is book two in the After Series.
“I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.”
Book two picks up right were book one ends. Tessa is devastated by what Hardin did. She thought everything these two felt and had been through was real. She has no idea what to believe and feels absolutely broken.
This series has pulled me in. I can not function right now; it has turned me into a mess. I needed to continue to read to learn what happens between Hardin and Tessa. I feel invested in this relationship. Can Tessa forgive Hardin for what he did to her and to them. I was up in the air about what I wanted to happen between them. I mean How could she forgive what he did, but also how could she put the love she has for him aside. Just ugh! I had no idea how to feel.
This book is different from After because we now get to read from Tessa and Hardin’s POV. I do like that better than just Tessa’s POV.
I am telling you this series is great. You better have a lot of time on your hands because you are not going to want to stop once you start. Oh yeah be prepared for another cliffhanger.

5.0 out of 5 starsEmotional Rollercoaster. Again.
March 11, 2019
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
I was so invested in the first book that, naturally, I had to immediately purchase the second installment. I’m not so sure that was a good idea. Not because the book was bad, but because now I am completely obsessed. There’s no going back. I have chosen yet again to get on this emotional rollercoaster & this time I’ve got my hands in the air.

I honestly enjoyed this book more than the first. Mostly because you get to take a look inside Hardin’s mind by reading from his perspective as well as Tessa’s. In the first book, I couldn’t decide whether I loved Hardin & Tessa’s relationship.. or hated it. But now? I find myself rooting for them all the way, as messed up as it is at times. There’s just something so sweet & pure about someone so undeserving of love doing everything in their power to give it. & By taking a little dive into Hardin’s mind, you begin to understand that.

I did not expect to fall so hard for this story, but I did. Before these books, I went to bed earlier & woke up on time. But now, there’s just..... After.

In order to understand the first book better and have more respect for it you must read all four. I read this in a week and felt the crazy connection. I felt the pain and love with endless cycles. This is not your average love story and will leave you on the edge of your seat. I simply could not put these books down. I sobbed more at the relationships in this book than I have with my own. I needed more. I cried, no I ugly cried on the last book before the ending. I wasn’t ready for this to be over with. I only stumbled apon the book series because of the movie. I wish I knew when they first came out. The movie will not hold up to the amazing books, I already know it. I feel empty but have closure from these four books. Never in my life have I read a whole series this fast. Let alone cried along with!

5.0 out of 5 starsWhat an emotional story!
February 19, 2019
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
This story is a continuation so if you have not read After (book 1) do not read this review or this book (start at the beginning and you will LOVE the craziness of these characters and their relationship)

Tessa and Hardin are two characters that are completely different in every way with the exception of their love for Literature, alcoholic fathers, and stubbornness. A relationship that is doomed to fail because of the way it all started. . . the bet to take her virginity!

Tessa is the most forgiving character that I have ever read but she is also a naive teenager and is having her first real sexual relationship with Hardin. It’s easy to be in love with the simple things but the minute you add sex, alcohol, friends and family to the equation and real feelings which then gives your heart a vested interest in everyone. Every woman wants to fall in love with her Prince Charming but a damaged bad boy who needs to be saved is a relationship that no one is ready for.

Hardin is a beautiful and intelligent man with a very bad reputation. He drinks, lies, and uses anyone he needs to feel better about himself. The little boy that had his family ripped apart due to an alcoholic father and images of a trauma that no little boy should have to endure. Does this give him the right to use the one person that may be able to change him into a living man? Hardin has a bad habit of telling lies and the lies he tells is starting to catch up to him. The fate of his relationship and the trust that Tessa has given to him is hanging in by a thread and he is determined to “ruin” her but it’s unintentional. He doesn’t know how to be a good person and every attempt to change that backfires on him.

A relationship with the lack of communication challenges them until one or both of them are torn apart. When will they decide that they have had enough and move on without further destruction.

It has been a very long time since I have been so captivated by a story. I’m a grown woman, happily married but feel like I am in the middle of this relationship, I feel the emotions of the characters and the hurt that comes with their angry words and stupid decisions. It hurts to see that they are spiraling out of control and you want to slap, save, and hug them. As a reader you are vested in these characters and not every story can bring you this close to their characters! Hang on because book 3 is next ❤️

April 11, 2019
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
I ended up going to books a million to get the whole book series I read all 4 books in a matter of 4 days and these are some thick books but the story was just to good to put down I so badly wanted Hardin and Tessa to be happy together that every time they would fight it broke my heart!! At the 3rd book After we fell I did star to get tired of the back and forth with them a little its like okay Anna we get it they fight a lot can we please get some happy moments for them that last longer then 4 pages maybe a whole chapter or 2 of happy Hardin and Tessa before you rip it away!! That's my only complaint and from the reviews alot of people agree!! STILL CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MOVIES THOUGH!! Love all the actors they choose:) And yess I read this when it was about a boy named Harry instead of Hardin on Wattapad I like the name Hardin tho:)

5.0 out of 5 starsAddictive!! Couldn’t put down!!
April 15, 2019
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
I wanted to read this series after seeing the trailer for the movie! I’ve seen these books around for so long but I just don’t read large books because I lose interest quickly. But since the trailer looked so good, I thought I’d give it a try. WOW am I glad I did! I was captured from page 1, sentence 1! I never looked back. These books are absolute page turners! I love bad boys. I knew there was more to Hardin. My heart broke for him over and over..even though he also made me so mad at how very hurtful he was. And dang was he a jerk..a lot. Tessa was so naive and innocent and frustrating so many times throughout that I wanted to throw my kindle..but I loved her too. I just felt so immersed in this story. Each book leaves off exactly where the previous one left off except Before. It’s hard to write a review for each book because it’s one gigantic love story. So I waited until I read them all. Beautifully written! Another new to me story I should have read long ago! Looking forward to to see this on screen...hopefully!

5.0 out of 5 stars:: 5 Pretty Little Stars ::
August 31, 2016
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
I don't know what it is about this series but these books are completely addicting. It doesn't even seem to matter to my brain that these two (Tessa and Hardin) are like a train wreck. I simply cannot get enough and I can't stop reading. There is also SO much drama in this series. I mean honestly, the push and pull and back and forth which take up 75% of the book makes me want to rip my hair out and scream yet, I cannot get enough of it. Gosh, I don't know what it is about this one. Subliminal messaging maybe LOL??? But it's just too good to stop.

What readers can expect from this one in particular:
1. A lot of crying (from the characters, not you)
2. A lot of intentional and unintentional hurt and pain (again, from the characters)
3. Insecurity
4. Breakups
5. Makeups
6. Shady friends
and more....

If you enjoy soap operas (hehe), new adult romance with a lot of drama but with a lot of heart, and characters that you hate but love at the same time then this is your book. Please note though that you have to read this series in order. Each book in this series surrounds Tessa and Hardin's intense relationship. Also, you will either love this series or hate it. But you should decide for yourself. I honestly love it. :-)

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
Book 2, made me feel kind of upset, angry, sad but mostly angry. I felt like they just fought the whole time and when things finally got better, it felt like the author needed to have more fights than usual in this book and I mostly felt sad for Harden and for the way he’s always angry and can’t express his feelings, so when he does express his feelings, he always ends up hurt anyways and Tessa just has so much growing up to do in this book and I just feel like it’s all her fault the way Harden is. Hardin is acting out the way he is, is because of her and she doesn’t realize it. So this book is not one of my favorite books from the series only because I just felt like it was just so angry and wants me to go in there and just Makes me want to smack Tessa across ta face to realize what damage she has done to Hardin.
