After We Collided
Tessa Young thought she knew what she was getting into with Hardin Scott, and then everything she believed came apart. In this second installment of Anna Todd's After series, Tessa is reeling from a devastating revelation about how their relationship began, and must decide whether the fierce, damaged boy she fell for is worth the chaos he brings.
As Tessa starts a coveted publishing internship and steps into a wider adult world, new people and new possibilities pull her in directions Hardin can't follow. Hardin, for his part, is forced to reckon with his jealousy, his temper, and the family wounds that shaped him, and to prove whether he can actually change. Their attraction is as intense as ever, but so is the damage they do to each other, and the on-again, off-again cycle tightens.
