After We Fell
by Anna Todd
Sometimes I really ask myself how I survive with my curiosity. It was my curiosity that made me pick up the first two books, my curiosity that kept me going even though all I read is nothing new. And it was my curiosity that kept me push through this one.
If I thought that After We Collided, the second book of the series, was repetitve then what I'm supposed to say about this one? The third book feels like a billion things are happening at once - Tessa meets her Dad, the same fights over and over again, lots of steamy sex scenes, drama, then add some more drama, then we get some good times, we think it finally takes a new turn but it doesn't, it's just more drama. And despite all of this - nothing that happens is really game-changing, except maybe the last couple chapters (that yet again make you go and grab the next book even though you're already tiring of this story!). While reading this book - and constantly asking myself why I push myself through it - I had the movie in my mind. The first book worked well to be turned into a movie, the second can be adapted as well, but the third book feels like there are so many events happening, it would fill a whole 20-episodes-long TV show, and never fit into a 2-hours movie.
I figured this installement was less enjoyable and addicting than the previous two. Even though we get lots of drama that should keep us on edge, it feel repetitive and rather boring. Many things don't make much sense in this book, and the usage of the word "obnoxious" makes up half of the word count (really. how many things can be described with that same word, over and over AGAIN?!).
Now, I really don't want to bash on this book. I rarely like to do it. I know people have enjoyed this story, have enjoyed to read about Hardin and Tessa, but either I have enough of their shit, or I can't really understand the development of their characters. While I did think poorly of Hardin in the second book (because I just ain't supporting obsessive, violent, possessive behavior. uh-uh!), I felt Tessa was the one who annoyed me in this one. Do you want him? Yes? Then you have to deal with his shit. If you don't want him, then stop thinking and do something else with your life.
