I love having some more insight to four other girls in Hardin's life.... Natalie, Molly, Melissa (Dan's sister), and Steph. I especially love Molly's chapter. It actually made me hate her a little bit less. Well I’m sorry to say but was a waste of time because only 10 chapters that are new from Hardin POV I’m so disappointed!!! I was extremely happy that it ended realistically when Tessa wouldn't marry him just because he changed.

So awesome to get different views and background information from some of the bi-characters, as well as Hardin’s side of the story since it was only told from Tessas perspective in the first book!

I did find Molly’s story kinda boring and confusing (and her actress’s voice a bit il fitting) but other then that the whole story was quite comical and emotional at times. Great additional book!!
- Recommended to all fans

Awesome perspective and storytelling, though light criticism:

I was so eager to get the the end to hear more I may have subconsciously ignored the first 30 chapters! I will have to listen to it all again.
Overall all 5 books are amazing I have binged them in less thank a week and I wish I have slowed down! I’m obsessed with the story and feel like I’ve living it!

Okay!

It was really amazing explaining device that everyone had before they met Tessa and before everything happened. it was nice to get back stories behind the characters that weren't really mentioned love in the first couple of books like Marley said and with Christian.

Absolutely loved it

If you are an Anna Todd Novels fan you will love it.
I really enjoyed reading the books but listening to the audiobook was something else.
The main thing is, not always when you reading you realise all the small story details.

Great performance...

Good to hear Hardin side. I was a bit disappointed when the story was at a high point just before Tesh getting to know about the bet and puff,the story jumped years ahead. For me that was the only negative in it.
Overall it's a good story

Worth listening

I thought this was one of the better books of the series. It was nice to hear things from Hardens point of view zed and even mollys. I just wish the ending wasn’t so rushed in the last book. I feel like the author owed us more after we read all the books.

Nice to see other perspectives

Enjoyed hearing Harding’s perspective and back story. Just wished Hero Finnes was reading it!! Haha!!

Good read/listen

it was OK, nice to hear Hardins' side, but the time jumps were a bit annoying.
I find the narration of Hardin annoying as he sounds like a middle aged man, not a young man. Also, I find quite irritating, some of the language used for supposedly English characters. We say till, not cash register, arse not ass, autumn, not fall. plus many more words!

meh.
