 Todd wrote three books in the "After" series on Wattpad.The series has sometimes been compared to the "Fifty Shades" trilogy as both series had their start as fan fiction.Reviewers at the website Jezebel criticized the series and stated that it "echoes the troubling dynamics of "50 Shades"," as they felt that Hardin's character "behaves at best like a prick, at worst like an abusive boyfriend in the making".
