"The Truth About Forever"

Written By Sarah Dessen

Macy is just a normal teenage girl. She does well in school and has a boyfriend. She also is balled up in her safe zone. But the one thing different about her is she isn't looking forward to her summer vacation. She thinks its just going to be a long, hot summer. Her boyfriend, Jason, is going to Brain camp for the summer and the most she has to look forward to is her Job at the Library, which she only has because shes filling in for her boyfriend. Her free time would be spent on SAT vocabulary drills and hanging out with her mother.

Sometimes the best thing for you is the unexpected. For Macy it was a job at Wish, a catering job, with its fun crew. Or how her sister will be remodeling the beach house, a place Macy's mom tried to keep away because of all the memories of Macy's father. She also meets Wes, an artistic boy that always tells the truth. For once in her live Macy finally starts to come out of her safe zone and realizes maybe it isn't better to be safe then sorry.

My favorite part-- When she first starts working for Wish, she learns that her crew is fun and a little chaotic. This is the start of Macy coming out of her shell.

My rating: 9/10. I loved this book. It was amazing. It was good at giving details and getting into the point. But i didn't like how long it took to get to some points in the book. I feel that it was very slow and hard to read in the beginning.
