"Eu estava de volta. Aquela era minha vida mais uma vez. Eu havia tentado fugir, ser uma pessoa normal, mas fui puxada de volta para aquela vida onde tudo era exagerado e nunca se sabia as verdadeiras intenções de uma pessoa. Eu havia me transformado em uma pessoa melhor, mas ao voltar para quer lugar, eu não sabia quando tempo ainda conseguiria me manter assim.

"Nada fazia sentido. Um dia todas as ruas estavam cheias de pessoas se esbarrando umas nas outras, no outro eu abri os olhos e não havia sobrado ninguém" #4 em Ficção Cientifica (14/MAR)

'Pain isn't remotely kind in that way. Pain wants its promised pound of flesh, ounce for ounce. It won't settle until you're left with nothing but a flaky shell of who you were. The burn of betrayal and the sting of rejection hurt, but nothing compares to the pain of being empty. Nothing hurts worse than not hurting at all and it makes no sense and perfect sense at the same time and I'm convinced I'm going crazy and I'm actually okay with that.'

The passionate story of Tessa and Hardin continues as family secrets, deep betrayals, and career opportunities threaten to tear them apart.

This is the sequel (continuation) of After. Hardin and Tessa's relationship will be tested in ways she never expected, but he knew of all along.

Tessa Young is an 18 year old college student with a simple life, excellent grades, and a sweet boyfriend. She always has things planned out ahead of time, until she meets a rude boy named Hardin, with too many tattoos and piercings who shatters her plans.
