"My blood sings in my veins," says Tessa. "That's concerning" says Clare. I about died.

[@claresgotbooks]

I don’t know why reading that made me laugh so much even though I’m the one who said it omg

[@tresslynfroehlich8382]

There are so many funny quotes you make.

[@megankarow2328]

a summary of the book: shalala lala lala my oh my, come on now don’t be shy, go on and fix the boy

[@kookiecream7259]

Why did I sing that..... It's weird

[@MegaSheen15]

Can’t someone write a romance story in which the guy is actually a decent human being and don’t need to be “redeemed” by the girl? Girls (and guys) need to know what a healthy and positive relationship looks like.

[@Zelda00Gamer]

I’m writing a book like that right now! Wait for it 😉

[@carlotaabilheira4567]

The book is great yes there are sometimes in the book we’re Tessa is annoying as fuck and Hardin dosnt help much but the reason the book is so popular is because it talks about a toxic relationship instead of a they lived happily ever after blah blah blah story the book shows that people can change for the better witch happens when Hardin stops drinking and shows that love isn’t always easy and always has their ups and downs

[@mariamolina4777]

Carlota Abilheira for the way the books are written, and I can't explain how i (and many others) know this, that is not what it is about. At all. The worst part is they do get a happy ending. Different ending would've made the book so much better and the message of change on point.

[@anamariaramirez9341]

@@mariamolina4777 Yeah, definitely. Tessa would have been much better breaking things off with Hardin and getting with someone who cares about her, and treats her right

[@carlotaabilheira4567]

I agree Hardin will never win the best boyfriend award and in after ever happy they do break up and move on with there lives Hardin publishing books and Tessa moving to New York but they love each other and just can’t move on Hardin drastically changes he no longer drinks or is mean to Tessa it’s what she want and what she needs and Hardin finally open up to the world and accepts his past mistakes

This sounds terrible, wish writers would stop promoting these kinds of relationships. Side note, I cringed so hard cause my main character's name is Landon and now I feel tainted. Ps. Love LilyCReads

[@catspaw3092]

I agree these writers writing these terrible relationships stories are sex deprived and possibly wish themselves as these girls. They wish hot guys chased after them in their youth but never did this is not what relationships should be like in real life.

[@claresgotbooks]

I wish writers would show this relationship as the negative thing it is. If this series was Tessa realizing she deserved better than Hardin, and if she had really held onto that 'this guy hurts me, sure the sex is sex, but he hurts me' and left him, it would've been so much better and sent a healthier message to readers. Please do your Landon justice. Take back the name haha.

[@JeanetHenning]

@@claresgotbooks totally agree and will do thank 😄

[@ReneTO]

It REALLY upsets me that the author had to use my name to write such a horrible character

[@claresgotbooks]

Girl I am SO sorry. I hope you can do the name the justice it deserves. But I do have to take an extra precaution. If a boy makes you cry don’t stay with him. I can’t tell fictional Tessa that because she can’t hear (the voice of reason) so I’ll tell you instead

[@ReneTO]

Humaira Toukhai lol wtf?

[@sarinacol]

Yes I agree tessa and Hardin both started out at the worst type of people. That’s the point of the plot. but throughout the end of the series they get a major character development so please stop over exaggerating and acting as if they didn’t change

#JusticeForNoah

[@user-ps1gj6pb1o]

Agree!!!! He was the sweetest! I need a Noah in my life! ❤️

[@DungNguyen-ti9dk]

He is kinda lucky that he doesn’t stay with someone who judges others all the time, over controls everything. He just doesn’t deserve to be cheated and then left out. She doesn’t even say sorry and stop connecting to him till she needs comfort of course

[@anushkapatil16]

#NoahDeservesBetter

[@humairatoukhai4620]

Tessa deserves Hardin. Noah deserves the world

[@yellowwerewolf3494]

Personally, I don't really like Noah mostly because of the way he is portrayed as more of a little brother than a boyfriend. Like he basically tattle tales on Tessa for everything she does. Even though Anna Todd only demonized him so Tessa could justify cheating, I still don't think having a little brother for a boyfriend does anyone any good.

[@madisonb8163]

I love that you're wearing a Harry Styles shirt, and this book was originally a Harry Styles fanfic XD

[@directioneranne9564]

This book is a slap on true directioners. Who can imagine our sweet kind Harry as this stupid character? It is soooooooooo damn annoying. There's no chemistry as you said. It's disgusting. Good for Anna Todd she has got her millions and the movie production will do so. It's so disappointing. Damn Btw love your tee shirt 😍 and the HARDin joke too 😅😅😅

[@sarinacol]

It’s a fan fiction for a reason. It has nothing to do with Harry’s personality. The author only used Harry’s name for the appearance not personality (y’all white skinny guy).and Anna Todd never expected her book to get millions of reads

[@TuesdaysArt]

@@sarinacol If someone defamed me by using my name and image for their abusive character, I would be upset and uncomfortable. Making AUs is okay with fictional characters, but Harry Styles was an actual 19 year old boy when 24 year old Anna Todd started writing the series on Wattpad.

[@VenusManTrap-777]

@@TuesdaysArt “19-year-old BOY” you mean *Man* . I’m 19 too and I’m not a fucking child, stop infantilising young adults. It’s so annoying. My bf is 23😭

Didn’t Harry Styles block her on Twitter? And didn’t the Directioners accuse her of being a fake fan who just used their names for clicks? I seem to remember something about her not even knowing the names of their songs.

And a weighted blanket!

[@MegaSheen15]

Someone should write a story that starts out like a story like after/twilight/fifty shades, but then the guy actually kills the girl and her friend who’s been suspicious of the guy from the beginning and proves the guy did it and he goes to jail.

[@jamesy8217]

I would love to do that

[@Jeremysepicreads]

Um NO

[@stellam_5296]

Also, I really don't mind this whole redemption thing. I find stories like that very romantic, when they're well written of course. But this...this is toxic. By the way, I am feeling sorry for Tessa's mom...imagine sending your kid to college, paying for it, trusting your kid and instead of paying at least a little attention to the class and reading, they go and do things like that. Sorry for the rant, I am just so frustrated. For some unknown reason, a lot of people seem to like it.

[@Dez861]

Writers never seem to explore unhealthy relationships in a way that really 'says' anything. It's always, "Ooh, look at how turbulent and hot this is." "Hot" toxicity is fine by me, but you need to let people know that no matter how great the sex is, and how addicted to each other to the two idiots in question are - be they Ana&Christian, Bella&Edward, or these two buffoons - toxic IS FUCKING TOXIC! And there IS no happily ever after!

[@anamariaramirez9341]

True! But the real question is, as a writer, how to explore unhealthy relationships in a way that "says" something without having to resort to the same old same old about how it's.... unhealthy and they should get out. Let the relationship have nuance! Let it be complicated! Take risks and show how things got to be this way! Relationships have ups and downs, too. Nothing's really static. 🤔

[@justwannafreefx9419]

No, the problem with Hardin telling Noah is that he didn't do it out of integrity, he did it to spite Tessa and control her. So, yeah, I'm gonna be mad at that.

[@stellam_5296]

I really loved your review! I saw the movie and it was absolutely terrible. You know it's bad when stories like "after" are considered romantic. Their relationship is so toxic and this is an extremely bad example for young people. Like, if your partner treats you the way Hardin treats Tessa, then you need to leave them. I completely agree with you. "After" is just a big no for me and I wish that more people could see just how terrible it is.

[@cayenneberrie7632]

how you resisted the call of vodka to get through this book is astounding.

[@purplegothicangel5650]

I don't get how, just how this book is so damn popular. I will never understand how the stupid weak girls ignore the obvious red flags and there were a fuck ton. I will also never understand how girls are fawning over this book. It's basically 50 Shades Of Grey for teenagers. Awesome rant Clare, and I could see the pain in your eyes throughout the whole video. I also agree with another Wattpad user who said: “I work hard to make sure my book has a good plot, correct grammar, and this is the fucking shit that gets published and a movie?”

[@TuesdaysArt]

Apparently, people don't know how to write interesting stories about healthy relationships so they make the relationship toxic to add drama. :|

"He continues his beautifully slow assault. Marksmen take up positions while the Delta Force team rappels into action, howitzers softening up the stronger enemy positions for the approaching tanks... "

[@harleyquin_3]

10.5k reads and growing! I decided to write a book that shows what a young woman can go through in a world of topics that aren't really talked about in the fictional Wattpad world. But most importantly I wrote how she is able to get through it and not just cliche-ly fall for someone who never deserved her in the first place. With all the Bella Swans and Anastasia Steel's I flipped the script and made this one a melanin beauty...and turned her into a Queen. My main character doesn’t have much of a choice and has makes the best of her situation until being able to plot an escape but becomes a fighting victim of not only sexual assault but Stockholm Syndrome. In 2015, 17 year old orphan Elena Santiago is managing a not so nurturing foster mother and trying to live peacefully before her 18th birthday. After a night out with her only friend she is left at a night club at 3 A.M. and has no choice but to walk. Her world is changed forever when she is kidnapped and taken to a luxurious whorehouse and given to Andreas Capitani, an Italian Mafia Lorde. Who not only runs the place but has more power than she thought. book is 17+ Any constructive criticism is welcomed! Hope to hear from you! The book is on Wattpad under the username KarmaaLo and you can start with Sanely Insane

I just love that in the very end of the series they get married and have two kids even though he does this to her and from the way I've seen some fans talk about it they're like "well they're both mean to each other and its about how people change" and whatnot but like... he still only has sex with her for a bet and makes her sign the apartment lease so she won't leave him when she finds out.

RIP english literature

[@claresgotbooks]

Monique du Preez the sad thing is there are SO many good books out there but people always flock to books like this. The ones where instead of spreading a message of “hey this is abuse this is bad” it’s “if you put up with it it’s fine because they’ll change eventually. Even if they hurt you so much that you feel you may never be okay again, give them another chance because they didn’t really mean it” which is such a bad message to send.

[@sweetsolitude5303]

@@claresgotbooks Totally agree. That's mostly why I research the hell out of a book book before I buy it. Authors like these tend to give YA a bad rep and tbh its so sad considering how much potential the genre has. I feel like authors who actually have decent writing ability are generally overshadowed by the toxic ones (fifty shades of grey etc). Maybe because people like ripping into horrible books lol. Honestly I mostly watch these videos for tips on how not to write :P Also lipstick color is amazing btw

[@claresgotbooks]

Monique du Preez I find that a lot of YA books that have been coming out recently don’t really have good writing. It might be because I’m getting older but a majority of them feel like they’re for a way younger audience. But it’s strange because I’ve been reading a lot of middle grade books, and those are marketed towards younger people than YA is and they’ve been fantastic. In my opinion, After is a New Adult series. It falls just outside of the YA section, but isn’t at the point of being a regular fiction book. It’s more for 20-24 year olds, even though the characters act like they’re four. I’m going to make some positive reviews soon, those are just a bit trickier because when ranting you point out all the flaws because they’re easier to talk about - in my experience at least - and when I like a book it’s harder for me to explain why. But some positive reviews can also help with writing because then you can also see what people like and look for!

It’s amazing that Anna Todd got so many reads when her book is about nothing. They fight, they boink, they fight, Hardin smashes up some stuff, they fight, they boink, they fight, over and over and over for four thick books. By the end, the only character development is that Hardin has progressed from smashing things to arson. What the hell was the point?

The Harry Styles tee really * completes * this review

[@mystinary]

omg I want to be your friend, killing the lipstick btw 👌🏻

[@claresgotbooks]

Thank you! I don't wear makeup often but I thought 'why not? It's all for fun' I'm glad you like it!

[@bluehydrangea5506]

"She knows how to get blood out of sheets," Me with a bottle of spot shot: youre fuckin right i do. Seriously. That stuff is the shit. I probably literally would have whipped it out right then and there and been like watch this shit thereby totally ruining hardins psyco plans. But yeah the used condom thing is beyond vomit inducing.

[@theOnlydillweed1]

Still one of my most favorite reviews

[@claresgotbooks]

that means SO much to me

[@tresslynfroehlich8382]

Welp. Here I am. A year later… THIS IS STILL MY FAVORITE VIDEO ON THE INTERNET 🙌🏻

[@claresgotbooks]

Tresslyn Froehlich aww thank you :,)

[@sanyareza]

Man, I tried to read this a couple of months ago but I couldn't get more than 2 paragraphs through. It was appalling and I had already started hating Tessa

[@kissszonjab]

8:31 when you said "cause we're all 4" I thought that was part of the book and I'm like, oh that's actually a funny inner diologue for Tessa... then I replayed it and realized its not.... nevermind then. But that was funny so 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@claresgotbooks]

I wish Tessa was that funny omg. I’m reading 50 Shades and I laugh so much because the narrator is so funny. Why couldn’t Tessa be like that?!

[@kissszonjab]

Yeah, I think the books would have been so much better if she was funny instead of judgemental af. Like in Harry Potter, sassy Harry really makes up for him being a dumbass. I haven't read 50 shades, but now I just might. And its also why rant reviews like this are so funny, people are like look at this, what the fuck is this?

[@spookybroad8350]

I love your personality. Thank you for suffering through this book so I didn’t have to. Subscribed!

[@claresgotbooks]

thank you :') I'll always read the crappy books so others don't have to

[@vampirekitten2409]

These books are fucking terrible! but im obsessed, i cant stop reading them, im halfway through the 3rd book! HELP ME!

[@claresgotbooks]

[@gysellehernandez8024]

I hated this book as well. Tessa and Hardin are the worse

[@alisontrutwin2436]

Honestly I haven’t read the book but I’ve heard from everyone that it’s utter garbage and this is just proving everything they’ve said 😂😂

[@faithdaniels566]

[@claresgotbooks]

[@faithdaniels566]

[@claresgotbooks]

[@brendajp]

I like book 1.. book two is good.. but I hear book 3 and 4 get so much better and characters grow up and become better .. but I AGREE WITH YOU 100% Hardin and tessa are fucking annoying !! Hahaha.. but I'm addicted lol

[@kamelotroxx]

He gaslighted her he was the control freak not her

[@agathastorm8439]

The writing is horrible!! It was painful to get through.

[@leoniecst]

I loved the book. Still I love this review even more😂

[@dingobabie]

Ditto

[@LauraKadrija]

Thank You! You said everything I thought when I read it. But still i read it... :D Just perceive the book as a comedy. It gets easier to read it then.

[@claresgotbooks]

Laura Kadrija the characters are too frustrating for me to see it as a comedy but I wish I could read it like that. That sounds so much more entertaining

[@sallysall4094]

I love your personality

[@claresgotbooks]

Thank you :,)

[@clown-cult96]

So to get myself through this I'm imagining Tessa is Tess Holliday. Just...let me do this.

[@claresgotbooks]

[@caimacd]

lol. what the hell are the kids reading these days? ah well.. we all tried. Back to cable TV and Archie comics (I assume, I dunno)

[@claresgotbooks]

I mean... now they have Riverdale instead of Archie comics. Which is.... yikes.
