Content

The girlies subject themselves to another terrible, highly requested book — After by Anna Todd. Originally published on Wattpad, this Harry Styles fanfiction features upwards of 600 pages of a Pollyanna-ass main character and her fixation on Hardin Scott, an unbecoming young man who can't stop breaking into fits of Tasmanian Devil rage.

I mean not really, but having BinchTopia post makes you feel a little bit better

Genevieve Severini

Have I listened to several video essays about these books? Yes. Have I watched all of the movies? Yes. Will I submit myself to more content about this horrid series? Also yes.

Sophie

Zoe Dobbs

Lucy Johanneman

Delaney Gustavson

have u guys heard of the version of the great gatsby where nick has scoliosis. the only difference from the original is the brief mentions of his scoliosis in every chapter

Adelaide Rava

I was OBSESSED with this series in middle school. now I get to play intense drinking games to the movies 🤣

Allison M

Team Hardin> team Rile

libby

Marlee

Katie Raffaini

If you are brave … do haunting Adeline by HD Carlton

Miss Taylor

not the after slander🥲 12 year me is screaming crying

Victoria Gohmann

need you guys to read acotar for the next one

Erin Healey

Anna Todd never went to college and you can tell from how she writes university life

Patricia

i need to give some important context omg when julia said “like a 14 year old on wattpad, which i guess she is” LOOK UP ANNA TODD RN SHE WAS A GROWN WOMAN WRITING THESE

Erin Healey

There’s no shame in not going to college but my god our authoress did not consult anyone

hannah

Just in time for my thanksgiving travels 😈

riley

ladies i fear one of my friends who i love very much named her son hardin

rae

literally got in trouble in 8th grade for reading this on wattpad in class (before they had to legally change his name from harry to hardin) lmao

HG

Besties please do Fourth Wing next!!!!

Alice Zhang

i just want you guys to know that the first version of after i read was a larry stylinson rewrite on wattpad in 2014

Maaike Luini

I literally read this when I was like 12 and it was all the rage on wattpad I’m livinggggg for this ep

Jillian Cuervo

the fact that colleen hoover rated it 5 stars in good reads is all i need to know

Karissa Garcia

I need you guys to know that in the last movie someone tells hardin "they should make your book into a movie and have harry styles play you"

Mary Hoffman

Ladies the content has been SO GOOD RECENTLY

Elise Harwell

Landon is Liam and Logan is Louis LOL! (i may or may not have read this as it was being published on wattpad.

Kirby Harris

As someone who has seen all five movies (in theatres 😔), I need you to know that the only two cast members that remain the same from beginning to end are Hardin and Tessa. Everyone else is recast 1-3 times. Also, Tessa is in about 1/10th of the final movie. Approximately the same amount of time that is just shots of Hardin walking down the street.

Wawallama

After is one of many “dark” Harry styles fan fiction that’s why his personality sucks and has a lip piercing 🥴

Casey Croft

For the record I love it please keep reading bad books so I do t have to lmao

girlypop

eliza im living for ur brintish accent !!!!!

tessa whiteley

when i was 12 in 2014 my friend bet me $20 that i couldn’t read all 3 after books in one week SO I DID READ THEM TO PROVE A POINT and it permanently ROTTED something in my brain. also twas the wattpad versions which are somehow longer and more horrific. also ruined my name forever! tessuh

space cowboy

I LOVE BAD BOOK CLUB PLS KEEP GOIN

Ruby&Chloe

I LOVE BAD BOOK CLUB - yall should do a bad book club collab with CMBC

Celeste

Indiana Evans (Blue Lagoon 2012/H2O Just Add Water) is who miss Anna Todd wants you to picture when thinking of Tessa

Celeste

To add to this; When it first came out at the beginning of each chapter she literally had a list of songs (for the appropriate vibe). There was also a list of most, if not all characters, and who they are physically based on included in some chapters. This shit was immersive as fuck lmao.

Josefina Troncoso

this makes me feel way WAY better about my jojo’s bizarre adventure part 5 fanfic that I have written at my twenty eight (28) years of age

Celeste

wait till yall get to Hardins back story, that shit was so twisted.

Kate Ross

I did not get the hype of this one and why I should care why great granny has the same kink as the fmc 😭 I didn’t finish it to find out

M

Me reading this when I was 14 9 years ago 👁️👄👁️

Stephanie

Girlies Anna Todd was unfortunately in her 20s when she wrote this and not 14 like many would assume.

Kaylee

I literally love book club. Didn’t read the books but watched the movies, after an edible of course. They really are peak brain rot entertainment

Courtney Ledgard

Hello, WA state binchie here. I’m so confused bc Washington Central University doesn’t even exist!! What even is this book!!

Katie Raffaini

Eliza your accent sounds so much like Hardens in the movies

al falco

Hearing the girlies talk about this is flossing my 14 y/o brain fr

al falco

anyone remember the author’s celebrity casting when this was in wattpad form? i feel like tessa was envisioned to be a girly who played a mermaid in another show from 2012 or somn and i feel that ashley greene was there too

Rhiley

Could listen to this book club for houuuurs!! Please never stop

Kara

i was reading this shit as every chapter was being posted on wattpad there were literally 100 i think. just me and my toshiba through the night.

Grace Dosdall

Bad Book Club is the format i live for

Madelyn Schur

I think we need to remember that this was being posted chapter by chapter on watt pad and was not posted all at once

Tess Knoll

bad book club slaps and i hope you keep doing it especially because your laughs are so godly and infectious

Grace

So excited to start this episode because as a LESBIAN this series ruled my middle school life and I read all of them on watt pad in ADDITION to seeing it in theaters

Grace

It’s also even better experienxe to read it on Wattpad because you get to see everyone’s comment

Katie

Not me requesting a bad book club spin-off pod…👀 feel like y’all are really SHINING in this format 🫶

Kaley Alness

I think it's supposed to be cwu but also a friend told me it was wsu??? But also who knows the author just wanted it to be twilight esque with the WA location??? (Spokane binchie hehe)

Kaley Alness

The thing about Harry fanfic was these girls said "what if this British teenager was an abusive asshole??"

Kaley Alness

I take that back the Niall fanfic was the same

Avery Vilandrie

I’m not lying this is literally a book club podcast. This was the only thing that stopped me from crawling out of my skin working till 6:30 pm on a friday. Bless you girl bosses slay

Cassie Hudson

mia bizzotto

reading this book as a 13 year old was WAYYYYYYY too formative….. had me thinking this was #goals

Hannah

might be too niche but y’all NEED to read ‘All The Young Dudes’, better than JK’s Harry Potter? absolutely, fan fiction can be incredibly well written and you girls deserve that experience

Jesse

y’all said “lilly blossom bloom” but my brain was subconsciously thanking about wanting to go see he hunger games movie so i thought you were taking about lily gray baird and i was like HOW ARE THE CONNECTED

Crunchy Carrot

Dynasti deGouville

Ev

When u said tasmanian devil for hardin i imagined him doing spinny helicopter helicopter with his arms out absolutely shredding anything in the way

Ella McLaughlin

Back in 2013 everyone at my high school read this book on wattpad and the sex chapters would be seperate because they’d have content warnings being like prepare to squirt girlies and you’d go to school the next day and your friends would be like omg did you read the new sex chapter ? And everyone would be like omg no way I could never that stuff is gross … looking back there’s no way anyone was reading it for that plot

Jules

was very disturbed that we never found out what flavor of white claw was being drank

becca stickler

Y’all’s impressions really made the episode thank u

Sierra Sabin

On my hands and knees BEGGING y’all to do ACOTAR next

Sophia

if you want to continue down this dark path of fanfiction that got a book deal u have GOT to do Love Hypothesis that book will lobotomize u

Fiona

I will never again reach the level of horny that I was when I was 13 reading this, as it was published on Wattpad

Shannon O'Brien

These are literally so funny, I am in stitches gasping for breath from laughing at both of these episodes, please don't stop doing them!!!

Sara Davila

It’s also important to note that Anna Todd is a fully grown ass married army wife who wrote harry styles fan fiction while her mans was deployed

Ally

I am absolutely here for more book club and thank y’all for the extra bonus eps this month!!!

abby reddy

i am actually obsessed with bad book club please continue

Vanja

I’ll often listen to these at the gym as motivation to go but maybe I can’t with bad book club cos both this and the last one had me shaking and dropping my weights with how much I was suppressing laughter

blaine

my sister read the original wattpad version in hs and loved it at the time and is so annoyed that it became another series LMAO

blaine

This was so good

Veronica L

Loved another book review!! Chancellor’s are a thing in U.S. universities

Bon

Y’all NEEED to do A court of thorns and roses

Ava Anderson

Zed getting arrested just for feeling a little sick at wendy’s 😭😭😭😭 im obsessed with these

Jo

Personal request for a bad book club book is Roomhate, did the rounds on tiktok back in the day and was truly a horrific read

Erin Reinhart

Eliza I can’t get over how close your British accent is to hardin’s in the movie

Charlotte Beck

would love to see you guys on storygraph !! its an awesome non-amazon goodreads alternative.

Sarah

I haven’t read either of the books you guys have done so far, and yet these eps still make me laugh so much. Please keep doing these

Gabi Umstead

Okay I haven't read these but I did watch at least a couple of the movies, but omg I was cackling in the car by myself listening to this. Soooo fucking funny. Every time Julia went "WHORE" I died

Emma

Honestly if you made a whole separate podcast for bad books I would be LISTENINGGGG

Rachel Diazena

begging for acotar bc i genuinely loved them but mainly because it is so bad

Rachel Diazena

hardin being FURIOUS abt her not liking ketchup destroyed me

Raven Decorah

there are in fact 5 books bc she also wrote “before” in his perspective 😭

Nat

The kissing booth pls

Eve

love bad book club so much this had me cackling

Julia

please read the love hypothesis lmao

Summer

I LOVEEE bad book club! Y'all are so fucking funny

Summer

Also.. twilight???? Cult classic bad book???

Gracie

Wait until the girlies find out about Duplicity… words cannot describe the chokehold that story had on me. I was physically unable to do anything besides read that fic for hours on end. I skipped so much online class during lockdown just to lay in bed and read would translate to thousands and thousands of book pages. Fr tho Duplicity made me feel something in the darkest days of the pandemic and for that I will forever love Jules and her fucked up story.

Gracie

Obsessed w this episode! Please do another episode discussing harry fanfic!!

nicole vandeweghe

was truly cackling and looking crazy at the gym listening to this episode

Maya

Some suggestions for future episodes mayhaps: -Ali Hazelwood (The Love hypothesis, Love on the Brain, Love Theoretically) -Sarah J Mass (ACOTAR series, crescent city)

Lucy Hemsworth

I could not stop laughing at tazmanian devil !!! I’ve already forgotten mr Harry’s name and I’m not even finished. So glad I only consumed this media here 😭

izzy

Bad films/media as well mayhaps?? Xo kitty… kissing booth… so much potential

izzy

For real though you guys gotta watch xo kitty bc it’s genuinely some of the most entertaining shit I’ve seen in a while

Harleigh

Honestly I'm loving the bad book club!!!

AK

Definitely need the love hypothesis by Ali hazelwood next

Isabella Ortega

You guys should read the Danger Justin Bieber FanFic

Hannah

please read verity by colleen hoover lmao

zoe e

guys I TRULY must say i was a die-hard one direction fan who was EXTREMELY active on 1d stan twitter in 2012-2013 when After and Dark were the most popular fanfics and on the day the chapter of After where Noah says “thanks it is from the Gap” came out the ENTIRETY of my stan account timeline was tweet after tweet that just said “Thanks it is from the Gap.” it was a cultural moment. real ones know. i tried to google it to see if I could find anything about how ICONIC “Thanks it is from the Gap” was but nothing came up. just needed you queens and my fellow patreonites to know the icon status of Thanks it is from the Gap

Sam Haimowitz

“GIMME THAT TOOTHY SHIT” LMFAOOOOOO PLEASEEEE 😭

Sosse Serpenti

"She doesnt drink, she doesnt have sex... she just sits in her room and reads Pride and Prejudice all day" okay i was indirectly roasted by Julia

Maddie G

PLEASE (the fact I read this in less than five days…. it’s mental illness luv xx)

Kaitlin

I finally bought the membership just for the book club episodes and I am not disappointed. Trying not to cackle at the gym rn

Hailey Smith

I LOVE THESE 🫶🏻 pls do looking for alaska or paper towns!!!

McKenna Walwyn

It is crazy to hear people who don’t read fan fiction talk about books based on fanfiction because it really was all like that back in the day 😭 this was top fanfiction when we were all like 12-15

Kassi Riley

I am loving the extensive use of the word loser to describe both Tessa and Noah. It is such a true dig that has me wheezing in the car.

Brianna Bogucki

The Looney Tunes impersonation from Eliza when you guys were discussing Harden's rage almost made me spit out my tea at my desk job

Maia McDay

Eliza why does your British accent literally sound like the actor who plays Hardin IM SCREAMING

baby.yogurt

damn all these descriptors of how boring tessa is is making me feel kind of boring too like in college I also was a non-drinker virgin with no friends like what does that say about me......the only difference btwn 18 yr old me and tessa is that I was def not a slim thick hottie

Lia Merkowitz

beggingggg you guys to do the twisted love series

Senda

Ummm I just found out Anna Todd was 24 when she wrote After….

d

the voice eliza does for noah is fucking sending me.

Guneet Brar

THE YABBADAD part at 34min KILLED ME! I cant listen to this in the public streets.

Elianna Panakis

i just watched all 5 afters in 2 nights with my besties so when i heard you were doing this ep ✅ instant subscribe

sunset lollypops

theres literally nothing wrong with all of these things if its your personality/pace. Society will always have negative shit to say to women about their sexuality wether they abstain or like to have fun...the reason why tessa is insufferable is because of her condescending superiority complex. She's written to just be like not other girls and seems like this perfect reactionary embodiement of hate towards modern women. I didn't love that eliza and julia kept being so rude about any of those inherently innocent personality traits but theres a gross context here: After by anna todd lol

Sofia

soooo agree with your hatred of YA authors running in CIRCLES around saying “said”… to me it’s such a mark of being a bad writer. imo if the writing is good nobody gives a fuck how you describe people speaking! sorry for the paragraph this is just one of my biggest literary pet peeves.

Sally Paik

I just looked this book up on goodreads and Colleen Hoover gave this book 5 stars 😭

Morgan Freeburg

PLEASE do verity it’s a Colleen Hoover “thriller” & it’s also chaotic & weird af

Lucy

When I tell you I had to PAUSE to laugh when Eliza read “these lips and the things you could do to them” in a British accent

maddie moo

i bought a subscription just for this. verrrrry excited

Sarah

noooo i read pride and prejudice in literally 8th grade 😭😭

Emma

oh you need a darkharry lore expert….get me on the pod

Samika B

the british accents are sending me

kerrie

the way this fanfic was the epitome of high brow culture in my middle school and I have not thought of it since

sarah hardin

I heard my last name too much during this….

Katelyn Colston

The chapters are so fucking stupidly decided bc Anna damn Todd promised us like one chapter a day at one point. girl ran out of thoughts & submitted it for the day to be done, and every single chapter had a song to fit the vibe…..we were eating it all up in real time, wattpad notifications on

Monica Parks

I can’t believe I’m listening to this 16 hour book just so I can fully understand and appreciate these episodes…🤦🏻‍♀️

Kennedy

20 minutes into this I thought it sounded familiar and realized this was the horrible movie I was forced to watch on a tinder date. I thought he just picked a random movie on Netflix and it didn’t matter because we would just start hooking up but NO he had SEEN it BEFORE and put it on because he LIKED IT. Whenever we would make out he would stop so he could point out the “good” parts and we ended up watching the entire thing 🥲

vin

its the fact that shes on a high horse abt it and makes it her wholeee personality/basis for judging the world that makes her insufferable i know hella people in their twenties that dont drink or have sex that are fun and not boring bc thats just a detail of their personality not the whole thing

Internet Vibez

u guys i was cracking the fuck up this whole episode PLEASEEEE KEEP DOING THEM

Caitlin Feely

I swear it’s bc in elementary school they taught us “said is dead” and made everyone use synonyms for said and that was the only writing advice these YA authors have ever taken

lucy h

NARDEN?!?!????

lucy h

ARE YA LOOKING AT MY GIRL?! ARE YA?!!

caitlin brown

pretty sure the reason it’s set in washington and the whole publisher thing is bc it’s also based on 50 shades (allegedly) 😭

caitlin brown

reading this as it was being posted chapter by chapter on wattpad when i was 14 definitely altered my brain chemistry

briannasgonebananas

opening the white claw actually sounded sooooo satisfying

annie

julia’s scream when eliza said YABBADAD😭😭

Lilly Souter

Julia the accent 😭😭😭

El

the way she didnt change up the fanfic at all in that case? 😭

El

truly inspiring tbh its never too late to flop
