After We Fell
Tessa's estranged, alcoholic father resurfaces and needs somewhere to stay, and the question of what to do about him splits Tessa and Hardin further apart. Tessa is moving to Seattle for a job at Vance Publishing; Hardin wants her in London instead, and the distance sharpens every insecurity between them — his jealousy, her guardedness, a coworker who won't stay in the background.
Underneath it all sits a family secret Hardin isn't ready to face, one that will upend what he thinks he knows about where he comes from. Third in Anna Todd's After series, After We Fell keeps Tessa and Hardin's relationship on a knife's edge between reconciliation and rupture.
This title is the third installment in a five-book series and follows a continuous narrative arc that requires reading the previous books to understand the character dynamics and history.
The series began as a piece of online fanfiction inspired by the music and members of the band One Direction, with the character Hardin Scott originally based on Harry Styles.
A film adaptation of this title was released in 2021, starring Josephine Langford and Hero Fiennes Tiffin, and serves as the third entry in the film franchise based on the novels.
