He doesn't fit Macy's life at all&150so why does she feel so comfortable with him? So . . . happy? What is it about him that makes her let down her guard and finally talk about how much she misses her father, who died before her eyes the year before?
Sarah Dessen delivers a page-turning novel that carries readers on a roller coaster of denial, grief, comfort, and love as we watch a broken but resilient girl pick up the pieces of her life and fit them back together.


MY RATING *****

By now I have read almost all of the novels written by Sarah Dessen and they never disappoint. However, “The truth about forever” is by far my favorite.
What makes all Dessen novels special to me is the way she writes. All the characters are relatable and realistic. Reading about them and their problems, makes us reflect on our life.

Sarah Dessen has a way of intertwining real life with summer romance in this book that draws the reader in on so many levels. Her writing style is wonderful, and it's close to impossible to not get sucked into the very lives of her characters. While I was reading this book, I laughed and cried with Macy and her experiences with Wish Catering; and I found myself falling head over heels for Wes just like she was.

I would recommend this book to anyone, this is definitely a MUST read!
