ANNA TODD (writer/producer/influencer) is the New York Times best-selling author of the After series, which has been released in 35 languages and has sold more than twelve million copies worldwide—becoming a #1 best-seller in several countries. Always an avid reader, Todd began writing stories on her phone through Wattpad, with After becoming the platform’s most-read series with over two billion reads.

A native of Ohio, she lives with her family in Los Angeles.

I was so pleased that I already had the next book in this series of five books that Kara bought for me. As soon as I finished one I went straight into the next one. I think these will be my top books of 2025. There are also films from these books on Netflix that I am looking forward to watching.
