After

Anna Todd: My life before him was so simple and decided, now after him...It's just...After
Me: My life before this book was so simple and decided, now after it ...It's just...Depressing
gather around children let me show you what emotional abuse looks like *swallows back vomit* 
WHAT DO WE WANT? BOOKS THAT DON'T ROMANTICIZE ABUSERS! WHEN DO WE WANT THEM? BOOKS THAT DON'T ROMANTICIZE ABUSERS!

I just really hated the way the characters handled everything (which is a phat portion of the book) there are quite a few instances of emotional abuse and mental illness that are handled super poorly by the characters which really pissed me off. honestly if I had been in the main character's (Tessa) position I would have upped and moved away from all that mess after the fifth chapter. I get that if all the characters functioned super healthily it would be boring and you could say "well bish not every book ends in someone figuring out how to be emotionally mature" and you would be totally right some books literally show people falling apart and thats the end. thats literature baby. but my issue here is that at the high points in their relationship she's still with someone who is incredibly emotional abusive. like wow they are finally in such a great place...he's still controlling and cruel...but they're using their inside voices so thats good right? they keep making the same mistakes and trusting the wrong people and the toxic behavior just gets really boring. and if I'm being honest some stuff goes down that Tessa gets over and I find it so far fetched that in the span of a semester she is able to go through and recover from the shit people put her through. in twilight bella had a whole seasonal montage of sadness and she got dumped, Tessa gets humiliated and tormented and pops back up like a daisy. it just made me angry and upset after reading it. you can ask my boyfriend I read the second one just out of anger and the desire to know if Tessa calls bs and leaves everyone (spoiler alert no change still making sub par choices) so ya the characters mare annoying and they're sucky and overall you will want to pull your hair out. but thats just one woman's opinion. if you love super rocky relationships, main characters that do exactly the opposite of what you want them to, and a whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooole 
lot of super detailed sex scenes then this is probably for you. 
thanks for reading 

p.s. if there is ever a guy that I think a friend should stay away from they will not be getting "just stay away from him, he's bad news". oh no sister. I'm spilling the whole tea. I will give you a powerpoint on every skeleton in their closet if I think they are going to emotionally reck my friend.

p.p.s I just found out this is a 1D fanfic and I am currently gaging she really try to mix harry styles and fifty shades of grey someone take away this woman's computer
