I think it's safe to say Afternators the world over have eagerly been awaiting After We Collided, the second book and film in the series, which just released in cinemas in the US, and South Africans will be able to see it as of 18 September.

In case you're not already a member of the fandom, the After series, inspired by the music and fans of One Direction, and the relationships of one Harry Styles, is Anna Todd's pride and joy.
