Here we have the continuous story of the book series "After".
If you haven't read the first book of the
series, do check out the video link in the description.
Yes now lets start up with the second book,
"After we collided".
In the first book, we have seen a young beautiful
girl, Tessa found herself
struggling with her complicated relationship with Hardin,
who made her to fall in love inorder to complete his dare.
But as the time goes, Hardin would literally
fallen in love with Tessa.
Will Tessa forgive Hardin?
Will she understand his true love?
These were the questions poped out at the
end of the first series "After".
In the second book, "After we collided", actually
it seems like the first series, with the constant
cycle of breaking up and getting back together
over and over again, but this time we see
Hardin was not the, only one to mess up rather
Tessa also did some screwed up things.
Let's see further what it is.
Starting from the beginning of the book, we
see a character Zed, who is a friend of Hardin,
consoling Tessa.
Zed is gorgeous, charming and he has tattoos
like Hardin.
Zed will be always there for Tessa after she
broke up with Hardin.
As I said earlier, leaving back all the bloody
shits, Tessa will move to "Vance Publishing Company"
to attend her internship program.
There she meets her colleague Trevor.
Trevor is a nice guy, handsome, and
super sweet.
Like Tessa, Trevor also dreams to live his
life in the place called "Seattle".
Meanwhile in between the story, we see Hardin,
who is seriously taking efforts to win back
Tessa but all his efforts will end up in failure
as Tessa would never consider him.
Tessa will attend her internship in "Vance
Publishing Company" by staying in a motel,
where her colleague Trevor had stayed.
One day Tessa leaves to a place called "Seattle"
to attend the book convention as a part of
her internship program with her colleague
Trevor and other publishers,
Kimberley and Christian in Vance Publishing Company.
They four i.e Tessa, Trevor, Kimberley and
Christian moved to "Seattle"
where they goes to a party.
During the party, Tessa gets drunk and would
dance and kisses a stranger.
The alcohol in her, made Tessa to phone call
Hardin.
Knowing that Tessa had drunk, Hardin immediately
comes to "Seattle".
Tessa suggests Hardin to have sex.
Whereas it is still unbelievable that how fast
Tessa had forgiven Hardin, when he made a
freaking dare about taking her virginity and
showed everyone the condom
and the bed sheets they used.
Eventhough Hardin truly loved Tessa, what
he did for her is truly unforgivable.
But Tessa just forgave Hardin, when he looked
desperate and crying.
Only in the next morning after detoxing from
the alcohol, Tessa remembered everything that
happened in the last night like kissing stranger
in the party, and having sex with Hardin.
She's then feels less happy about it.
Being very possessive on Tessa, Hardin would
never encourage even the friendly relationship
between Tessa and her colleague Trevor.
So another fight breaks out between Hardin
and Tessa, but this time Hardin leaves Tessa.
Later when Tessa returned back to her motel from seattle, she feels that it is not affordable for her
to pay the rent for motel so Tessa moves to
the apartment where she lived with Hardin before.
Suddenly Hardin shows up in the apartment with his mother.
Meanwhile Hardin hasn't told anything about
their breakup with his mother.
So they both pretends to be in a relationship
infront of Hardin's mother.
Tessa goes along with this and they talk a
little more with Hardin.
At one point, Tessa admits that she's still
in love with Hardin.
Things seem to be improving between the two
of them.
Finally, they talk about it and get back together
in their relationship.
When everything was going good, another hell
breaks out again when Tessa's mother comes
to their apartment and finds out, Tessa's
living together relationship with Hardin.
The fight leads to another revelation about
the past worst behaviour of Hardin.
We already known in the first series that
this guy Hardin was good in playing "Truth/Dare" game.
He not only cheated Tessa but also filmed
in having a sex with an another girl named
Natalie inorder to win for another bet.
Angry and disappointed, Tessa asks for time
to think over it.
But She loves Hardin despite all of it.
Meanwhile Tessa encourages Hardin to improve
his relationship with his father,
while she improves hers with the group of friends that
she cut off at the dare challenge of Hardin.
Inorder to build over the friendship among
their friends, Tessa and Hardin will arrange
for a new year party.
During a party, Hardin's jealousy flares up
when Tessa gets little too close with Hardin's friend Zed.
Since Tessa was drunken at the party, Hardin
surprises Tessa by not acting up seriously over it.
As by the proverb, it was rightly said that
there would always be the calm before the real storm.
When Tessa overhears that Hardin and a girl
were together in a room, instead of yelling
at Hardin, Tessa grabs a random boy dancing
in the party and kisses him.
On seeing this, Hardin jumps over that boy
and starts punching him.
Actually Hardin was not alone with that girl
in a room, it was a group of people
and they were just talking.
But Tessa just assumed that Hardin was cheating
on her so here another fight breaks up.
All on a sudden, Hardin moves to his apartment
leaving back Tessa all alone at the party.
Only Hardin's friend Zed would drop Tessa
in her apartment.
After entering into the apartment, Tessa and Zed find Hardin completely
drunk and violent.
Somehow, Tessa manages to calm him down.
That night, Hardin hears Tessa was muttering
the name of Zed in her sleep.
Soon after Hardin gets furious and gets the
hell out of their apartment and goes to a
bar to get drunk.
He’s so drunk so he ends up sleeping at
the bar tender woman house.
When Hardin return back, Tessa sees Hardin
along with a woman.
Tessa will wrongly assume that Hardin and
that woman slept together in a bed
and she tells Hardin to leave her alone.
They soon break up again.
This time both take the break up really hard
and won't talk to each other.
Eventually, in that moment of weakness and
break up pain, Tessa kisses Hardin's friend Zed.
But the relationship with Zed doesn't go further,
as Tessa is little more confused but still
decides to give Hardin another chance.
Yes
She realises that she is still in love with Hardin.
Despite all Hardin has done to Tessa, we see
Landon, the step-brother of Hardin, still believes
they should be together and has been giving
relationship advices to Hardin all the time.
One day when Hardin went out to his birthday
party instead of spending time with Tessa,
the miscommunication was actually caused by Zed,
who manipulated the text messages between Hardin and Tessa
This leads Tessa to confess Hardin that she
kissed Zed when they were in breakup.
Another huge fight arose between them.
Unable to handle his jealousy, Hardin attacks
Zed on campus.
After that Hardin will be expelled out from
the campus and sent to prison.
Tessa visits Zed in the hospital and convinces him not
to fail any criminal action on Hardin.
By this time, Hardin and Tessa would be back
together and committed
everything seems to be looking up good.
Well, the book ended up with them together again
but they didn’t solve any of their problems.
Like Tessa wants to marry and have children but
Hardin doesn’t.
Tessa wants to go to Seattle but Hardin wants
to go to England.
In fact, Tessa is supposed to move to Seattle
in some days.
Later when Tessa confessed her dream to "Seattle",
thinking about the life without Tessa,
Hardin will tattoo on his back by quoting,
"Never be apart from this time on".
At the very end of the book, we see Tessa
and Hardin happily coming out from the Tattoo
shop and while walking on the street, Tessa
spots a homeless man and she calls him
Dad.
There the book ends with this cliffhanger,
leading the reader to rush to the next series,
After We Fell.
Thank you
