There was the time before Tessa met Hardin, and then there’s everything AFTER... Life will never be the same. #Hessa

Tessa is a good girl with a sweet, reliable boyfriend back home. She’s got direction, ambition, and a mother who’s intent on keeping her that way.

But she’s barely moved into her freshman dorm when she runs into Hardin. With his tousled brown hair, cocky British accent, tattoos, and lip ring, Hardin is cute and different from what she’s used to.

But he’s also rude—to the point of cruelty, even. For all his attitude, 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 within her a passion she’s never known before.

He’ll call her beautiful, then insist he isn’t the one for her and disappear again and again. Despite the reckless way he treats her, Tessa is compelled to dig deeper and find the real Hardin beneath all his lies. He pushes her away again and again, yet every time she pushes back, he only pulls her in deeper.

Tessa already has the perfect boyfriend. So why is she trying so hard to overcome her own hurt pride and Hardin’s prejudice about nice girls like her?

Unless…could this be love?

Couldn't put it down!!!

I know the hype of the book & now movie but wow this is a must read. Cannot wait to get through book 2 ☺️

Hard to read.

Honestly. I am finding it so hard to read this book. Hardins character is emotionally abusive and ‘romanticising’ this behaviour is absolutely abhorrent.
He slowly tears away at Tessa to the point that she creates some unhealthy obsession towards her abuser.
Just ask yourself if this is the type of relationship you would want to be in, or that you would want your daughter to be in. I know this is just a book, but I worry about what impression this leaves on young women and what their idea of love is, because this is absolutely NOT it.

Very worrying

A very well written book however we need to be careful not romanticise violence. With domestic and family violence being a real issue worldwide I think this book is sending the wrong message to young girls and women who think they can change their partners. Although Harding is not portrayed as being physically abusive, definitely there is enough psychological, emotional violence and bullying to wonder why Tessa would even consider going back. I had to force myself to finish the novel as I felt that I was caught in a cycle of abuse. I guess in that sense the novel is catchy
