Note: This review is for the movie only. Not a comparison of the book to the movie.

Hardin has a best-selling book, but he lost his muse. Tessa left after he published a book about their stormy yet steamy love affair. Today, Hardin is a year behind for his next novel. His editor, Katherine, needs a draft, or the publishing company will make Hardin return his advance. Hardin parties and drinks all night but can’t write one word without Tessa. He texts her, but she tells him it’s over.

Hardin meets with his parents, Trish and Christian. They want him to stop drinking and focus. Christian knows Hardin is behind and offers to get Hardin out of the contract. Hardin refuses and dismisses Christian. Trish tells Hardin that she has been in contact with Natalie. Natalie is another scorned woman from Hardin’s past. Trish says Natalie lives in Lisbon and works in a dress shop. The change of scenery was a fresh start for Natalie. It could do the same for him. Hardin decides to go to Lisbon and make amends to Natalie. Hardin hopes fixing himself will be the first step to winning Tessa’s heart.

Based on The After Series by Anna Todd, this movie is about Hardin, his abyss, and finding forgiveness from the first woman he hurt (FTC Affiliate Disclaimer). The audience peeks at Hardin’s downward spiral before Tessa. And it shows the parallel between how he treated Natalie and Tessa. Both women let down their guard and loved him. Then, he used them for a bet and exposed them without their consent. This installment is an hour and fifteen minutes of Hardin’s self-loathing, 2nd novel syndrome, and alcoholism. Then, he is face-to-face with Tessa. While giving you a somewhat redeeming view of Hardin during his growth, this movie puts a bow on Hardin and Tessa’s story.

I give it 3 out of 5 stars

You need to move on. I did – Tessa

I was – Hardin
