After

A very exhausting read with some troubling content. The protagonist, Hardin, is plagued by his own issues and deals with these issues through violence and anger. He emotionally abuses Tessa while employing coercive control tactics. While it is an easy read, very raunchy and makes you want to continue to see their relationship improve, you are often left disappointed and can't help but feel the monotony of the author's writing.

Reading this first as a teenager, this book was the perfect mix of humor, drama, and romance. However, this book has to be simply a one-time read, as the use of excessive tensions between the love interests does not create angst for the readers as may have been intended, but rather creates a toxic relationship. The drama between the love interests gets so intense to the point where readers start questioning the need for the characters to be together versus having their peace of mind.

Though many may hate me for this, I hate this book. It's so unoriginal and the first version on Wattpad was full of incomplete sentences and rather improper grammar. It could have the potential to be better, but it's basically the same storyline as every fanfiction and romance book. I personally have nothing against Anna, but the portrayal of Harry or rather Hardin, is very crude and simply unappealing to me.
