So, I stayed up all night reading BofABB2. Bought the book last night and read straight through it nonstop. At the beginning the book had me deeply engrossed and on the edge of my seat. But as I went on, the story became long and drawn (especially the part where the past is revisited) . I don't really like that the middle or rather the bulk of the book centered on the past and only the first 4-6 chapters focused on present day and the last 3-5 paragraphs focused on the present as well. I would've liked less of the past or more of the present instead of having to once again wait for the next part.Terri is still being Terri and so is Quinton... Except he's stooped to an ultimate low in this book. The hatred that Terri has towards her daughter is really felt while reading it. Makes you want to be there for her as if she's a real person. Jeremiah is still being Jeremiah and loving Mia unconditionally, even though she did things in this book that totally disregarded his feelings. I liked the twists/turns (some unsuspected & some suspected) and the new addition of characters because it made the story interesting. But I have to say that I found myself flipping through most of the past part so I could get to the present b/c it was so drawn out. I know its vital to know the past to understand the present but it could've been condensed.New revelations in this book seems to somewhat tarnish how you looked at Mia in part 1. Not much but it will have you kinda giving her the side eye. She made choices at the end of book 1 that had you wondering WhyTH did she do that?! But hopefully book 3 answers all of the unanswered questions from part 2.My only complaint is there were a few grammatical errors, but the biggest was the fact that in book 1, her friend's name was Rayna and in the second book it was Raynese. I just feel that the editor or someone should've caught this. Especially if Raynese is really Rayna from the first book and not a new friend. I'll probably buy the 3rd book b/c I want to know how this all plays out. BofABB2 was an overall good read. I gave 3 stars b/c of the drawn out scenes, mixed up names throughout the book, grammatical errors and to much focus on the past and not enough on present day.
