So I finished up Past Imperfect a little bit ago and not exactly sure what to write. Alison G. Bailey has such a way with words that play so much with emotion its crazy. She made me cry. Again. Its not the first time she made me cry. In this book the highs were good but the lows. Wow those lows were as low you could possibly go.
In Present Perfect, I hated Brad. He was a Smurffucker. Plain and simple. But boy did he redeem himself. You wouldn’t believe that the Brad in Past Imperfect and the Brad in Present Perfect was the same guy. Things happened during the book that made Brad change and grow up. He reevaluated what he was doing and decided he didn’t want to be that way anymore. And then he met Mabry.
Mabry has had one of the toughest lives you could imagine. The events that took place were horrifying for anyone, especially a younger girl. It shaped who she became. And then she met Brad.
I loved pretty much each chapter alternated between the present and the past. And within each chapter, you had both viewpoints. You got to see the events that shaped them to who they are and also how it is affecting them in the present. And you got to hear from both of them.
And then you got to the end. And and and. Ugh, I wish I could just tell you but I can’t. I will say I gasped and broken down crying. And then the epilogue started. And I love Alison’s epilogues. She does a great job, especially with this book, of finishing it off where it needs to be.
I guess the best way to describe my emotions and overall feeling about this book is WAMFU! (Read the book to understand what that means)
