Tessa’s mother also betrayed her by hiding the fact that her father had come looking for her. Though Tessa, for the most part, did not change, she still went beyond her comfort zone, like when Hardin visited her in her hotel room, and she gave him an ultimatum to either have sex with her or leave.Īlso, Tessa was more endearing and tolerating with Hardin in ‘After We Collided,’ because she still always forgave and loved him no matter how many times he hurt her. Though Tessa tried desperately to make her feelings disappear, she failed and soon realized she was still the shy, reserved girl who seldom reacted when cornered. Trying to love people that betrayed them is one of the main themes in this ‘ After We Collided.’Īfter getting betrayed by Hardin, Tessa tries to be a brand new person by letting go of all thoughts of Hardin. The story of ‘After We Collided’ shows its characters trying to change for the people they love, trying to forgive the people that hurt them, and trying to love the people that betrayed them. Tessa, for example, became much bolder and outgoing, and Hardin became a tad better than his previous self. I like that we have so much bad because I think the romance genre can get lazy and constantly fall into the same cycles and stories but Anna Todd stepped out the comfort zone whilst still giving us a well written 'romance'.In ‘After We Collided,’ each character seems to have a slight change in their overall behavior. I understand where people talk about this series saying it is saying emotional abuse is okay, however, I don't think that Todd is promoting it I think she is trying to make people understand relationships from a more realistic point of view as well showing that people can change. I think it is important that they overcome the manipulative tendencies and that Hardin learns to deal with his behavior and sort out his issues.
However, it goes with the tragedy turned love story that is Hardin and Tessa. It is a bit much in the sense of the amount of drama we endure considering the time span from book 1-4 (excluding the last part in after ever after that talks years down the line) is between 7-9 months. I thoroughly enjoyed the rollercoaster that is Hardin and Tessa's love journey.
