"This book is about a girl whose father dies, and from then on she tries to do everything perfect until she meets a group of people running a catering business offers her a job. Then she starts to let go of her pefect life and boyfriend."
"The Truth About Forever is a story like no other, with its great plot about a girl going through tough times. Sarah Dessen fills this story with love, laughter, and teenagers living life. Some of the best parts about this story were the relatable characters and the moral to the story. This book was amazing cover to cover. In the book the The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen, Macy Queen thinks she has a pretty lame summer ahead of her. After Macy's father dies, her boyfriend, Jason, leaves her for academic camp, her mother is a workaholic so she is never home and Macy has a boring job at the library leaving her with almost nothing to do all summer. Macy suspects a summer filled with SAT practice, Her library job and emails with Jason. Macy is always having her mother and Jason living through her and Macy thinks life is perfect that way. Macy and Jason always try to make everything in life perfect. They both think everything in their lives is perfect or at least Macy thought that is what Jason saw to. Until Macy received an email from Jason at the beginning of the summer stating that they needed to take a break. Macy was upset and felt really bad for herself until she meets Delia, head of Wish Catering. Delia needed some help while catering a work party for Macy's mother and Macy lends her helping hand to find she is a pretty good crab cake flipper. Delia offers her a job to help out Wish and Macy loves catering and the people she meet doing it (Wes and Kristy). Wes and Kristy have been through tough times too and help Macy find happiness just being herself and not having her mother and Jason living through her. She finds she is happier being herself and making her own desisons. Together Wes and Kristy help Macy realize that things are perfect when you are not trying to make them perfect. Sarah Dessen has very relatable characters in her book The Truth About Forever. Each one of her characters is relatable in their own way but Dessen makes you feel like they are the girl/boy that has lived across the street since 2nd grade. Macy is relatable because she is having troubles with her boyfriend and her family, which are very typical problems in a teen's life. Many women and men have troubles with relationships that can be very hard and even if you personally don't have relationship troubles you probable no someone who does. Macy also has trouble with her family because her dad died. A death of a parent is a sad but common family problem. Even if your family doesn't have a death it could be a divorce, single parent or any other of they many family troubles. Many people can relate to Macy or even if it is not Macy who they relate to it could be Wes, Kristy or Delia who you relate to. Relating to Kristy would be to have been in a life changing car crash or any other major accident or sickness that would cause you to be in the hospital a lot. Wes or Delia also had deaths in their family when Wes's mom/Delia's Sister died it left Wes to live with Delia and Delia to have to watch Wes which could be relatable if you don't live with your parents or kind of like being adopted. All the characters were very true and not artifical, the message of this novel was also great. In the novel The Truth About Forever there is a very good message. The message is that sometimes for things to be perfect you have to let the pieces fall into place you cannot try to force things to happen. This message is confusing at first but when you start to think about it, it makes perfect sense. As soon as Macy stops trying to be perfect and takes a break from the "Jason way of life" she is happy as a clam and loving summer. It gives a good thought to your mind when you think about, if there is something in life you try so hard to do or be sometimes if you just let go and be yourself it will be fine. I would recommend The Truth About Forever to any teenage girl who wants a good book with a good message and relatable main characters. This book is hard to put down and you keep the pages moving like a fan to find out what will happen next. Hopefully you want to read this book. I hope this review helped you choose to read The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen a truly phenomenal book."
"This is my favorite Sarah Dessen book. I can really relate to the main character in the book. Often not expressing how she really feels, she folds under pressure when she meets new friends who make her talk about her feelings. She learns to stand up for herself and do what she wants and what makes her happy and learns that it's not her fault her Dad has passed away. She finds someone who makes her happy and brings out the best in her. Gotta love a happy ending!"
"I picked up this book because I just finished reading the book Forever, and it made me wonder if this book would reveal the 'truth' about forever. Macy, a teenage girl has a difficult life and a difficult relationship that she doesn't know how to handle. Her father, is her closest person in her family that she's always with died one morning when they were on their daily running. He had an heart attack and died not long after. After 3 years of her father's death she still couldn't let go of the fact that he died and doesn't know how to go on with her life. She eventually fell in love with this guy name Jason but he is much Smarter then her. One summer, Jason left and Macy started falling in love with this other guy name Wes. Her mom though, didn't approve their relationship and didn't let her stay with these friends. At the end of the summer, jason is about to come back but Macy doesn't know what to do. This book's plot really reminds me of the book Forever as the plots are very similar. It just gave me more thinking about what it means when someone say like "Love you 4ever." Does it really mean forever? or does it mean just for your teenage years or what?"
