AFTER THE GRAPHIC NOVEL SC (2025)

Tessa is a good girl with a sweet, reliable boyfriend back home. She's got direction, ambition, and a mother determined to keep her on course. But she's barely moved into her freshman dorm when she runs into Hardin, with his tousled brown hair, cocky British accent, and tattoos. Good looking, confident... and rather rude, even a bit cruel. For all his attitude and insults, Tessa should hate Hardin. And she does-until she finds herself alone with him in his room. Something about his dark mood grabs her, and when they kiss it ignites a passion she's never known before. Despite the reckless way Hardin treats her, Tessa is drawn to his vulnerability, determined to unmask the real Hardin beneath all the lies. Available in softcover and hardcover editions.

From the #1 international bestselling author and Wattpad platform icon Anna Todd - the continuation of her bestselling love story After. As good girl Tessa Young embarks on her first year of college at Washington Central University, she has direction, ambition and a new circle of friends who are always trying to push her beyond her comfort zone. Chief among them is fellow student, campus bad boy-and son of the University's Chancellor-Hardin Scott, who has simultaneously enraged and seduced her. Tessa can hardly abide Hardin's antics and ex-girlfriends yet, despite their differences, Tessa and Hardin are undeniably, passionately drawn to one other, and willing to risk a bumpy ride for a romance that will consume and change them both.
