Experience the most talked-about book on the internet, now as a major film by Anna Todd, the Cosmopolitan author who is considered the greatest literary phenomenon of her generation. There was a time before Tessa met Hardin, and then there is everything that comes after... Life will never be the same again.

Tessa is a good girl with a sweet, reliable boyfriend back home. She has direction, ambitions, and a mother who is determined to keep her that way.

But hardly has she settled into her freshman dorm when she crosses paths with Hardin. With his tousled brown hair, cheeky British accent, and tattoos, Hardin is charming and unlike anything she’s ever known.

But he is also rude – to the point of cruelty. Despite his attitude, Tessa should hate Hardin. And she does, until she finds herself alone with him in his room. Something about his dark mood draws her in, and when they kiss, it ignites a passion within her that she has never felt before.

He calls her beautiful, then insists that he is not the right one for her, disappearing time and again. Despite the reckless way he treats her, Tessa feels compelled to dig deeper and find the real Hardin beneath all his lies. He pushes her away repeatedly, but each time she pushes back, he pulls her in even deeper.

Tessa already has the perfect boyfriend. So why is she trying so hard to overcome her own wounded pride and Hardin's prejudices about nice girls like her? Unless... could this be love?.
