Today on August 26th at 4:28 pm I finally finished the after books series.

After was the first book recommended to me when I first joined Wattpad years ago. I added it to my list but never got around to reading it.

But early 2019 I saw that a movie had been made about these books. I decided that I should probably get around to reading that now.

I started reading After about June of 2019 and I was instantly hooked. I read it all day and rarely put it down. I fell in love with the plot, characters, and how the comments felt like a family to me.

I eventually finished the first book and swiftly moved on to the second. I would always pick up after if I was bored, missed it or if I had a bad day or felt really shitty. The book would instantly pick up my mood. I could immerse myself in the after world anywhere.

whether it was a loud classroom, an overcrowded school bus or the quiet of my room. I always felt so safe and comfortable when I read it. I would be sitting in my room reading it and yelling at the book like "SHE DIDN'T JUST DO THAT", "HARRY APOLOGIZE RIGHT NOW", "YOU BETTER WORK TESSA", "THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING."

the range or emotions I felt from: sadness, happiness, anger, annoyance, shock, and horniness (if ya know ya know hehe). this series was an era in my life that I really never wanted to end.

when I was nearing the end of the third book I took month long breaks to prolong the end because I never wanted it to end. but today out of complete boredom and readiness to finish it. I realized that the drip finally stops and everything comes to an end (like the tiktok audio). I picked it up and continued where I left off.

tears were shed. shit was said. but I'm finally done. over a year later I finished it. I know I can always reread it but it won't be the same as reading it for the first time and not knowing what is coming next.

this series has officially become my favorite book(s) and book series. I will be buying all the books, watching all the movies and rereading them over and over again. I'm so excited for AWC btw LMFAO!!

but Anna Todd thank you so much for creating such an amazing piece of art. this book helping me through so much and taught me so many lessons. this book made me feel safe and comfortable and helped me out of boredom.

anyways thank you for listening to my rant and I hope a book/book series makes any of you feel this way 🥺♥️
