“Maybe I'm in shock after all. Shock isn't a bad place, though.

I'd like to stay here as long as I can. It hurts

less.”

“Elizabeth Bennett needs to chill" . . "Love is just a transaction. We're all hardwired to desire. We
present the correct set of desirable traits and boom! We can turn it on or we can turn it off."

“There are moments in our lives that seem to define us.

Moments we keep going back to.

My life before him was so simple & decided.

And now after him...

there's just...

After.”

― Anna Todd (Author of After)

“I’ve read hundreds of novels in my life, most of them claiming that love was the center of the universe.

That it could heal any damage inside of us.

That it was what we needed to survive.

From Darcy to Heathcliff, I thought they were fools.

That love was something fictional, only found in worn pages of a book.
...///That it was just made up to keep humans full of hope, that it was a lie.

But all that changed since I met my Elizabeth Bennett.

I never thought I would find myself completely and utterly consumed by another until her.

She took my hand and led me out of the darkness and showed me that, whatever our souls are made of,
hers and mine are the same.

I’m sorry, please forgive me.

You once asked me who I loved most in this world.

It’s you.

— Hardin ( Movie- "After" - Hardin's letter to Tessa )”

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, tattoos, and lip ring, 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?
