The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen


            The Truth About Forever follows the life of a girl named Macy who joins a catering business against the wishes of her mom. After Macy’s father passed away, Macy became a more reserved person and became obsessed with needing everything to be perfect, which is why this catering job is exactly what she needs to get rid of that mentality. Wes is the exact opposite of Macy. He is a tall, dark and handsome guy that is more interested in flaws than perfection, showing Macy that she doesn’t need to be perfect all the time ad that she should just let go and be free. Through a game called Truth, Wes and Macy become closer and realize that they both change each other for the better.

            The Truth About Forever is a good, relaxing book to read if you’re looking for a lighthearted plot and a story about emotional growth. The plot is a bit slow and takes time to progress but it is written very well and leaves you wanting to know what happens next. I would recommend this book to people who appreciate a novel about romance, self betterment, acceptance, and inability to reach perfection.
