The Truth About Forever
by Sarah Dessen
Macy Queen is the dutiful daughter and devoted girlfriend. She wakes every morning, does everything her mother asks and more, listens attentively to her boyfriend, and makes no waves.
She wasn't always like this.
She used to be her daddy's little girl who ran with him every morning and joked with him every night. She had friends, a team, and a life beyond her home and school.
But when her father dies just steps from her home during the morning jog that she had waived off taking that day, Macy's world changed and she went from independent and lively to simply wanting to keep her mother sane and her own world from falling further apart.
However, her world can't help but crash when her boyfriend goes to brain camp, leaving her behind to take over his job at the library, and then leaving her behind altogether.
Macy can't hold it in anymore. Especially not after meeting the insane bunch who work Wish Catering. Macy may finally have the chance to put herself back together. She just has to be willing to try.
Final thoughts: This is my first Sarah Dessen and it fits pretty well into the Chick Lit YA genre. There's the realistic girl with unrealistic expectations about herself and life. There's the cute guy who somehow just gets her. And there's the complications and drama that surround them both. Decent read overall.
Rating: 3/5
