Anna Todd Boeken

De achttienjarige Tessa Young heeft haar vriendje en overbezorgde moeder achtergelaten om te gaan studeren aan de universiteit van Washington. Dit had ze al jaren gepland en ook de rest van haar toekomst lijkt al helemaal vast te liggen. Maar dan ontmoet ze Hardin. Hij is onaardig en zit onder de tattoos en piercings. Hardin weet een grote passie in Tessa naar boven te halen, al probeert ze zich daar nog zo hard tegen te verzetten. Ze leert zijn wilde en romantische kant kennen en wordt gedwongen een keuze te maken tussen haar vertrouwde jeugdvriendje Noah, en een toekomst die spannend, nieuw en onbekend is.

Good girl Tessa, just starting out in college, finds herself falling for bad boy Hardin, even though he continues to push her away.

Tessa and Hardin have defied all the odds, but will their fairy tale ending be turned on its head? AFTER EVER HAPPY...Life will never be the same. #HESSA It’s never been all rainbows and sunshine for Tessa and Hardin, but each new challenge they’ve faced has only made their passionate bond stronger and stronger. But when a revelation about the past shakes Hardin’s inpenetrable façade to the core—and then Tessa suffers a tragedy—will they stick together again, or be torn apart? As the shocking truth about each of their families emerges, it’s clear the two lovers are not so different from each other. Tessa is no longer the sweet, simple, good girl she was when she met Hardin—any more than he is the cruel, moody boy she fell so hard for. Tessa understands all the troubling emotions brewing beneath Hardin’s exterior, and she knows she’s the only one who can calm him when he erupts. He needs her. But the more layers of his past come to light, the darker he grows, and the harder he pushes Tessa—and everyone else in his life—away. Tessa’s not sure if she really can save him—not without sacrificing herself. She refuses to go down without a fight. But who is she fighting for—Hardin or herself?

Landon Gibson got married and left Washington to navigate love and life in New York City. Landon is kind and fiercely loyal, and when he falls in love, he loves hard.

"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?"--Back cover

It's just not that easy. Not with the memory of passionate nights spent in his arms. His electric touch. His hungry kisses. Still, Tessa's not sure she can endure one more broken promise. She put so much on hold for Hardin--school, friends, her mom, a relationship with a guy who really loved her, and now possibly even a promising new career. She needs to move forward with her life. Hardin knows he made a mistake, possibly the biggest one of his life. He's not going down without a fight. But can he change? Will he change ... for love?"--Amazon.com
