Featuring 12 pages of behind-the-scenes and character profile bonus content, After: The Graphic Novel is a great introduction to the bestselling series for new readers and the ultimate collector’s item for fans everywhere! Anna made sure to keep in the elements she knew After fans wanted to see-mainly those moments we desperately wanted to see in the After movie but didn’t end up getting. Always an avid reader, Todd began writing stories on her phone through Wattpad, the reading and writing multiplatform for original stories, with After becoming its most-read series with over 1.

The novel has suffered much criticism for romanticising toxic relationships and every adaption, including this one, has toned down some of the most toxic aspects of the story. One of those moments which is my absolute favorite happens when Hardin shows up at Tessa’s dorm room.
