Anna Todd - After Ever Happy

This was definitely the best book of the series.  The characters FINALLY grew up in this story and weren't so needy.  Tessa and Hardin are each in a good space and the book was more enjoyable.  It was definitely an interesting journey.  Tessa and Hardin went through a lot in their short lives. It was no wonder he was as volatile as he was and Tessa never had a chance to find out who she was.  This story was more of their journey finding themselves.  I actually found myself sucked into this book and consumed it quickly because I just had to know how things would turn out for them.  This book flew by and wasn't a chore to read.  I'm glad I stuck through the books and completed this one.  

Their story is interesting, sad, funny and sweet, but I'm glad it's done!!  I enjoyed this series, but it won't be one I go back and reread.

Tessa and Hardin have defied all the odds, but will their fairy tale ending be turned on its head? After Ever Happy…Life will never be the same. #HESSA

It’s never been all rainbows and sunshine for Tessa and Hardin, but each new challenge they’ve faced has only made their passionate bond stronger and stronger. But when a revelation about the past shakes Hardin’s inpenetrable façade to the core—and then Tessa suffers a tragedy—will they stick together again, or be torn apart?

As the shocking truth about each of their families emerges, it’s clear the two lovers are not so different from each other. Tessa is no longer the sweet, simple, good girl she was when she met Hardin—any more than he is the cruel, moody boy she fell so hard for. Tessa understands all the troubling emotions brewing beneath Hardin’s exterior, and she knows she’s the only one who can calm him when he erupts. He needs her.

But the more layers of his past come to light, the darker he grows, and the harder he pushes Tessa—and everyone else in his life—away. Tessa’s not sure if she really can save him—not without sacrificing herself. She refuses to go down without a fight. But who is she fighting for—Hardin or herself?
