This picks up where movie #2 (After We Collided) leaves off. Tessa and Hardin after overcoming several obstacles are finally together...only Tessa hasn't told Hardin that in a week she is moving/transferring to Seattle to work at the new Vance Publishing. Hardin reacts badly when he finds out and is his usual petulant, non-communicative, hard to deal with self...which leads to Tessa in an infantile, tit-for-tat move making him jealous with a waiter. (These two really need to grow and communicate better!) Tessa's father who is an alcoholic and a hot mess bonds a bit with Hardin...and Hardin let's her go to Seattle without him. Hardin seems to be getting his sh** together when it gets derailed all over again at his mom's wedding...ending mid-stream with a "to be continued!".

This is a movie that you have to take at face value it is in between a teen drama and an adult romance, based on the Anna Todd Wattpad novels. If you are a fan, you are going to love it. If you are not you might be hyper critical...especially if this kind of film isn't your thing.

There were a couple of big changes to this film as both Christian Vance and Kimberly were recast with different actors (in my opinion for the better as I thought Stephen Moyer was great as Bill Compton in True Blood and I thought the previous actress who played Kimberly seemed too young for the role, even though I really liked Candice King in The Vampire Diaries).

(Final note...as a Seattle native, I was really disappointed to see such a vague attempt to make it seem like it was actually filmed here. Even the most casual observer would pick up on ALL of the crazy inaccuracies.)

If you are a fan of the series this is a must see...did it cure cancer, no, but I still have hope that the next film will be better and I am happy with the cast changes. Hopefully since they filmed the next movie at the same time we won't have long to wait.
