  Coming of Age teen novel where you can wear your heart on your sleeve!

  After Macy Queen's father died, her mother ploughed herself into work and Macy didn't know where to turn. With her boyfriend heading away for the summer and Macy taking on his job at the Library, all Macy life is is just work! Work at the Library, then revise for school at home. But when she starts working for a catering company and meets Wes she soon starts to realise with her 'Truth' game where they both tell the truth about their lives to each other, that she can actually learn to cope with her father's death and not be afraid to hide from it.

  Sarah Dessen = Teen Queen.

  'The Truth About Forever' is a brilliant teen fiction book, that had me hooked right from page one.

  Macy is a seventeen year old girl who is still coming to terms with her Father's death the only way she knows how - by making herself perfect. She has a perfect boyfriend, perfect grade scores, and a perfect appearance. The only thing she is lacking is true friendship and feeling.

  Macy unexpectedly meets a new group of people (including Wes, an artist), starts a new job, and soon realises that there can be more to life than perfection. She also realises that grief is dealt with in many ways, and that the only help you need is the truth.

  Sarah Dessen's characters are always true to life and believable, and this just makes the story that much better.

  I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has read 'Just Listen' (also by Dessen), or who is a teen fiction reader in general. You won't be disappointed.
