Before

Cosmopolitan called Anna Todd “the biggest literary phenom of her generation,” and That’s Normal dubbed Hardin and Tessa “the Mr. Darcy and Lizzy Bennet of our time.” Before Hardin met Tessa, he was a chaotic storm; during their first moments together, he realized he needed her to survive; and after they were together, nothing was ever the same. Their intense love story became a whirlwind affecting everyone around them. For the first time, these surrounding characters are given a voice—before, during, and after the original After novels—alongside Hardin’s own account of meeting Tessa, which will challenge everything you thought you knew about the brooding boy and the angel who loved him.
