Before by Anna Todd
5.0

I really enjoyed this one. I forgot just how f-ed up Hardin was and how much he and Tessa fought. They really did have a toxic relationship. I loved how this book had different POV's other than Hardin's or Tessa's. It was very interesting to get a glimpse into some of the other characters worlds, particularly Steph and Molly.
Even though this book is a partial re-telling of Hessa and how they began, being told from Hardin's POV didn't make it feel like much of a repeat, and it was so interesting to read things from his view. Anna Todd did a wonderful job portraying the story from his side and giving us more of a glimpse into his state of mind at the time.
The ending was great as well, another couple of POV's and then the two Hessa chapters. I really love how things turned out for these guys after everything they went through. A very well told story and a great way to end the series. Well done Anna Todd. #hessa
