For her mother it was studying and strive to be one day as good as her sister. For her the memories of her dad  and watching him die haunted her with every time she turned the corner it seemed.For her sister it was helping with every detail of the beach house renovations the rest of the family doesn't even want to consider. But everyone has a wild side and Macy's was about to show up for better or worse.

A little fun and chaos is sure to turn her world upside down, but will living her own dream hurt the ones she loves more than it is worth? Will the boy she meets be bad news, a heart break, or the best thing that could have ever happened to her? Find out in The Truth About Forever.

I liked the compelling and often romantic aspects of this book. It brought a new and exciting level to how the choices we make do affect our lives, but weather that change is good or bad it will change none the less.


I picked this book because I had enjoyed Sarah Dessen books before and thought I might enjoy this one as well.

I finished this book because I wanted to know where all of the choices Macy had made would take her in the end.

I'd give this book to anyone who would enjoy an adventurous, funny and romantic book.
