Yes this was a bit “teenage” for a 51 year old but it brought me back to college in a way . The narration was excellent- best narrator since I’ve started listening to books on tape - I really enjoyed this book - it’s great for driving - I didn’t have to keep track of too many characters lol.

I am in love with Tessa and Harden! I just started book 2 today and almost finished it! I hope all of the books become a movie!!!

such an amazing book...been hooked since page one

Really enjoyed this book taking me back to my own college days. This story has all the trials and tribulations of young love and becoming an adult. Trying to figure out who you really are and not becoming what everyone wants you to be or who they assume you to be with. Hated the ending until I realized it was a first in a series and I had another book to read to continue the love story

I love the story making me remember how being young and starting to be an adult in college. I have seen the movie and was so different from the book but also loved it (eventhough alot of people hating on it). The narration of Elizabeth for Tessa and the bonus chapter for Hero too. ♾

Great narrator! Good read.

I saw the movies on Netflix before I even knew about the books. I loved the movies and when I found out there was a whole series.... I had to look into it. The book was soo much more detailed and intense than the movie. So much emotion! I enjoyed the first book so much I immediately go the second one. The narration was great and kept me interested.

It’s a good book. What makes me hooked is the narrator. She reads Tessa’s thoughts and words excellent.

I loved this book. 9 times out of 10 would recommend. There were times where I wanted to jump in and yell at both of the main characters. That's what makes it so intriguing.

The first book that I can honestly say the movie is better. So repetitive and I just can't believe how weak and pathetic Tessa ends up coming accross. I ended up skipping through scenes. Narrator was a good Tessa but the English accent for Harden was woeful or non-existent.

It was a great book , I Started it just for something to fill the time and I caught myself not able stop .

such an awesome series!!

Loved this book! Clash of cultures is a must when leaving home

Love the book and movie so ready for the other movie to be released

I love the series of book

This book had me hooked. I’m a romantic and so desperately wanted Tessa and Harden to get past there troubles. It was raunchy in parts too, I was desperate for Ann Todd to write a sequel!

The story line is great, there are many moments I find myself talking to her and wanting to shake her out of her thoughts. like "woman, have some self respect!" Harden is a great character, very flawed and real. I still cant believe some of the things he does and worse, I can't believe her. the narrator's voice throw me off but after listening for 16 hours, you get used to it. I'm excited to continue the series.

Best book ever

Great book, it’s amazing how close it is to real life.

I'm 31 and this book was a bit too 'teen' for me to really appreciate. I found myself rolling my eyes a lot at the writing, but I can understand why it would be a hit for a younger audience.

it was corny and maple leaf and I like make-believe but this Maple leaf I just didn't I just didn't like sorry.

This book should have been titled before, not after.

Everything about it is amazing.

I love this book and the movies because as we go deeper into the story and the movies you really get to know all the characters and their part of the stories and I am so in love with Tessa and Harden and I can relate to them

I absolutely loved this book. Now on the next one. Way better than the movies

One of my absolute favorite books. This story sucks you in and was all I could think about while reading it. They truly make you feel like you know the characters personally and you feel all of their emotions with them.

I love these books and I’m re reading them now since there are more movies out. I do not like the narrator though. I wish it was a man and woman.

This book isn't horrible. Definitely for teen and early 20's. I can not stand Tessa. She is such a push over through the book, I couldn't imagine being so stupid. The end is horrible FYI.
