ARC provided by Chicks Controlled by Books for an honest review.Bradley, Bradley, Bradley…you have fully redeemed yourself!! At least in my eyes you have. I truly despised you in Present Perfect but now, now I just simply love you! Did you hear that, I. SIMPLY. LOVE. YOU!Past Imperfect is the story of Brad from Present Perfect and his love interest Mabry. My heart bled for her from the very beginning. The unjusts and tragedies she experiences at such a young age would be too much for anyone to deal with, let alone a little girl. Her coping method made me cringe. And at times, made me want to crawl into my ereader and shake some sense into her! The thought of adding to the pain she was already experiencing to cancel it out was just baffling to me. Why would anyone cope that way? I suppose the question could be asked for the way many people (myself included) cope with hurt, disappointment, and unbearable pain.Through this journey of Brad and Mabry, we are shown resilience, persistence, passion, love, and true vulnerability. Not only are these qualities that can make a relationship strong, they are qualities that make a good book. The push and pull, the ups and downs, and the sacrifices between these two characters are what kept the pages turning. I struggled with wanting to know how it ended and not wanting it to end.I HIGHLY, STRONGLY, recommend Past Imperfect!! It is a must read!!5 heart rating
