Honestly, I think publication order is the safest bet. 'After', 'After We Collided', 'After We Fell', 'After Ever Happy'. Then the spin-offs.

I made the mistake of trying to read 'Before' first because it's a prequel, and it totally ruined the mystery of Hardin's character for me. A big part of the initial books is figuring out why he's such a wreck, and having all that backstory upfront made Tessa's frustration with him feel less relatable. The reveals in the main series lost their punch.

So yeah, save the extra perspective books for later. They're like bonus features, not part of the main event.

Read 1, 2, 3, 4. That’s it. 'After' through 'After Ever Happy'. The other books are just extras if you’re still hooked. The main story has a complete, albeit chaotic, arc in those four. Don’t overcomplicate it.

Navigating the 'After' series order can get messy, especially with all the companion books.

The core is the main four novels following Tessa and Hardin: 'After', 'After We Collided', 'After We Fell', and 'After Ever Happy'. That's your essential, linear story.

Where it gets optional is with the prequel, 'Before', which is from Hardin's perspective before meeting Tessa. It adds context but isn't necessary for the main plot's momentum. Personally, I read it after finishing the core four because going back to his past felt more poignant once I knew where their toxic mess was headed.

The 'After' universe then expanded with books like 'Nothing More' and 'Nothing Less', focusing on Landon. I haven't dived into those yet – the main saga was enough drama for me. My advice? Stick to the core four in order first, then decide if you want more of that world.

What is the recommended reading order for After series books?

The 'After' series by Anna Todd certainly has an order that makes the most sense, and it can get a bit confusing with all the extra novels and alternate points of view floating around. If you want to follow the core, tumultuous relationship between Tessa and Hardin, you should start with 'After', then move on to 'After We Collided', 'After We Fell', and finish their main saga with 'After Ever Happy'. That's the central four-book arc that chronicles their entire rollercoaster from college meeting to all the intense drama that follows. Now, after that, things expand. There's 'Before', which is a collection of prequel stories from Hardin's perspective, but honestly, I'd read that after the main four. It hits differently when you already know the fraught, complicated person he becomes. The most significant addition is 'Nothing More' and 'Nothing Less', which focus on Landon and Nora's love story. They're set during and after the events of the main series, and they provide a sweeter, calmer counterbalance to Tessa and Hardin's chaos. You can dip into those after 'After We Fell' or once you've finished everything. Then there are the 'After' movies, which condense the books but follow the same basic sequence. If you're a completist, you might seek out the 'Before' prequel film too. The reading order really depends on how deep you want to go—the four main books give you the complete, addictive core story, while the supplementary novels let you linger in that world a little longer. I found that going through Landon's story after the emotional intensity of 'After Ever Happy' was a nice palate cleanser, offering a gentler kind of romance.
