I have to give props to an author that has not only has the ability to write a long series of books, but also keep the attention of the reader through out. I do not think that is something I could do. So with the third installment of the AFTER series, I am still just as hooked as in book one.
After We Fell by Anna Todd
ISBN-10: 147679250X

Synopsis: Book Three of the After series—now newly revised and expanded, Anna Todd’s After fanfiction racked up 1 billion reads online and captivated readers across the globe. Experience the Internet’s most talked-about book for yourself!
Tessa and Hardin’s love was complicated before. Now it’s more confusing than ever. AFTER WE FELL…Life will never be the same. #HESSA
Just as Tessa makes the biggest decision of her life, everything changes. Revelations about first her family, and then Hardin’s, throw everything they knew before in doubt and makes their hard-won future together more difficult to claim.
Tessa’s life begins to come unglued. Nothing is what she thought it was. Not her friends. Not her family. The one person she should be able to rely on, Hardin, is furious when he discovers the massive secret she’s been keeping. And rather than being understanding, he turns to sabotage.
Tessa knows Hardin loves her and will do anything to protect her, but there’s a difference between loving someone and being able to have them in your life. This cycle of jealousy, unpredictable anger, and forgiveness is exhausting. She’s never felt so intensely for anyone, so exhilarated by someone’s kiss—but is the irrepressible heat between her and Hardin worth all the drama? Love used to be enough to hold them together. But if Tessa follows her heart now, will it be…the end?

My Thoughts: I don’t know how this author can continue to write massive novels that engage and keep the readers interest page after page. As in the first two story’s – After and After We Collided, the main characters are still working through their issues and bouncing between arguing and figuring out how to adjust to being with each other. Trust is hard to come by, but they are trying.
While the issues of the second book – the constant back and forth arguing, was tiring and frustrating to the reader, this installment is showing them trying to find a happy medium. Thank goodness. I did not find myself as annoyed and anxious to get this story resolved
This storyline is very similar to the last book and while I think that it could have been blended into each other, I was one that kept reading in hopes that something positive was coming out of this book. The author is very talented in crafting her words so they are like a drug. One more try, one more chance… becomes One more page, One more book. LOL I think we all try to look for the best in people and this story shows that, as millions of readers keep on reading.
Kudos to the author for an impressive storytelling gift. Now we have to wait several months for the final installment of come out and see if these kids can pull it together.

I would love to read this
This as well as your other reviews of this author have convinced me to go to the library and see if I can borrow one of Anna Todd’s books. She seems to be a very dynamic author.
I have never heard of this author before but now I am super interested and will have to check her out.
I have been looking to find a new author/book. I like series books, as the charactor development can grow though the books, instead of reestablish each time. But, yes, it does have to be extra awesome to keep me engaged.
I think I have read the first book and didnt realize it was a series, now I might have to go looking for it. Oftentimes I like to read authors who write series like this and cant wait until the next one comes out!
