But although he didn’t like the place, moving his boxes into the decent-sized room that would be his, he felt a slight twinge of relief. The boy hated the taste the cigarettes left, but loved the way the smoke filled his lungs, stealing his breath. When Hardin discovers his family's dark secret, he plunges into a pit of despair from which he is unable to escape.

She went to the same school district her whole life, which is why she has, more or less, had the exact same friends since she was a child. As told by Hardin and other characters, Before will explore his life before he met Tessa, reveal what happens after After, give you new insights on their turbulent romance—and revel in the awesome power of true love.

She graduated from Satya Wacana Christian University in October 2019, obtaining a Bachelor's degree in English Literature with a concentration on Creative Writing. This is the 30th book, but considering Alex has survived "Kill Alex Cross" before, chances are he survives this one.

It occurs to Tessa that she might have to walk away but she knows it won’t be so easy, not after all their nights of electric passion.

Maybe you were surprised how Molly and Stephanie got so mad… After answering all these questions and more.The imprint was announced in November 2021 alongside the news that After would be made into a graphic novel, due out in May of next year.
