Order of Anna Todd Books

Anna Todd is an American writer who gained international recognition through her After series. The novels began as fan fiction inspired by One Direction and Harry Styles, which Todd initially shared on the digital platform Wattpad. Her stories captured readers' attention so powerfully that they accumulated over one billion reads online.

As her work's popularity soared, Todd transformed the fan fiction into original novels by renaming characters and creating a standalone narrative separate from the One Direction universe. The remarkable success of the first book led to a major film adaptation hitting theaters in 2019. Critics and readers have often compared Todd's work to the 50 Shades of Grey series, another fan fiction success story, with reactions ranging from praise to criticism.
