What our customer's say!
"best dessen book, by far", i have to admit, while reading the back of this back at our local bookstore, it didn't really catch my interest, but, being a big fan of sarah dessen, i bought it anyway. after the first couple of chapters though, i couldn't put it down, considering its clever characters and catchy plot. Desson was right on about the emotional feelings after a loved ones passing, and it was very easy to relate to the main character, Macy. ever since witnessing her fathers heart attack, macy has been striveing to be perfect: her grades, her hair, her boyfriend (who goes to "brain camp" over the summer, leaving macy with his library job). but in comes the wish crew, a quirky, crazy catering crew, with sa-woon worthy wes, fashion savy kristy, and loveable delia. before long she hits it off with the whole group, especially wes, playing games of truth, telling him things she hasn't told anyone. no bout, this was my favorite dessen book, and i found myself feeling strongly for each character, hopeing everything worked out for the right people in the end.
"The Truth About Forever Review :)", The Truth about Forever is a great book. I love how it is easy to read, and makes you want to never put it down. I love that the way Sarah Dessen writes is very reliable. A lot of People in the world can relate to losing a parent, or even just grief. I think that this book is one of Sarah Dessens bests. She has an amazing way of writing. The way that Macy meets Wes and they both grow together, is represented so well, and its realistic. I think this book is a great success. Rahessa
"Dessen is a wonderful author", This is the best book ever. I could not put this book down. I think I read it in 3 days tops. I've read this book multiple times, and every time I get those same anxious feelings to find out what will happen next.
"The Truth About This Book...", Is that it's AWESOME! Sarah Dessen has yet to disappoint me with her her wonderful books! The only one I have yet to read is Lock and Key and I'm sure that will be amazing too. I'm not very good at summaries but in The Truth About Forever, it was so hard to pick one character as your favorite. (The same goes for any of Dessen's books) I loved them all! This is definitely a must read!
"My favorite book during high school. BEST COMING-OF-AGE BOOK!", This was my favorite book during high school, and I still to this day recommend it to everyone I meet. There are not enough words to describe just how great this book really is, and even so, words cannot do this book justice. Definitely the best coming-of-age book I've ever read, and when I have my own family in the future, it will be the first book I recommend to my daughter. (Yes, it is that good!)

"Will not read another Dessen book, at least, not if she continues in this fashion", Honestly, people, this book is blatantly overrated. It was predictable, unoriginal, and just did not "wow" me at all. I've never read another Dessen book before, simply choosing to avoid them altogether, and reading this book made me realize why I do not like books like these. I'm not sorry that I took the chance in reading this, however, because now I can decidedly tell my friends to beware of Dessen's books, especially if they're looking for something with more substance.
I'm sorry, but this book just seemed so bent on getting two people together. At it's best, romance should be kept as a sub-plot, but readers like me will be horribly put to sleep if it's brought to the MAIN STAGE. This book did not excite me... I could not detect the rising action or climax anywhere, to be honest, and a story is not a story if it's all just one, straight line. I'm sorry, Dessen, but you have not convinced me.
Yes, it can be argued that the rising action and climax are held within the constantly rising relationship between Wes and Macy, but seriously. If there was any dent in Freytag's Triangle here, it would be a mere, solitary bump.
What was the purpose of this book? Why, to have a suffering teenager come to her senses and get together with the dreamboat guy. INEVITABLE. Please, please, find a different angle for your next book. It does not take much to convince me that complaints about all of Dessen's books being the same are valid.
It would be unfair to skim over the fact, however, that Dessen has potential! That is mostly the reason why I'm so angry. We have a writer who is terribly skilled at being constant to themes and such, but why must she use it to write fluffy, teenage romances?!
Dessen, I believe in you, I really do. I know this review was harsh, but it's because I KNOW you can do better than this.
Don't bore us with another hackneyed plot, please God I'm begging you. I know you have what it takes to do MUCH, MUCH better.
"AMAZING!", I love Sarah Dessen as an author. This has had to be the best book of hers altogether. A timid almost perfect girl, who breaks out of her shell to show her daring and beautiful personality inside. LOVE THIS BOOK!
"the best book in the world.", If you're a girl and you like teen romance books just read this. You'll love it.
"Outstanding novel- one of the best!", The Truth About Forever is one of the top 5 books I've ever read. I am in my late twenties and teach English, so I've read quite a few. Sarah Dessen does an amazing job of creating characters who are real and likeable. She takes a look at problems many teenagers and adults face and gives a fresh perspective on how to overcome them. I couldn't put this book down and it is one of those books that makes you think about your own life in a different way. She is an outstanding author, and you will enjoy reading about Macy's struggles to move on and enjoy life after a traumatic family event. Just buy this one- you will want to read it more than once for sure. AMAZING BOOK!
"It's All Good", Let's talk about why this book rocked:
Sarah Dessen is a good writer. What I mean is, she creates believable and relatable characters that very adequately reflect what teens are like. My favorite part of the books I've read by her is the dialogue, which, if you examine carefully, is unique to whichever character she's writing about. Sarah creates well-rounded characters--that's a fact. And it's probably her biggest skill.
Now, let's talk about the girl of the hour, Macy Queen. Quite a confused young woman, Miss Queen is. Her father died, and grief-stricken Macy keeps blaming herself. Worse, she comes to think that if she can just keep things at a constant, that is, perfectly still, she can control her life. And that's her biggest flaw: this unfailing faith in perfection that she simply won't snap out of.
Enter Wes and the whole Wish Catering crew. They help Macy come to life-altering realizations about the controlled forever she keeps thinking she can attain. Wes, especially, helps her see that the future--the eventual forever--is about changes and imperfections and learning from your mistakes, not a present that moves forward with time, never changing.
What can I say about this book? It had a nice message. It was well written. The characters--Wes, in particular--were for the most part great. I don't know how else to elaborate on it, because, to me, this book speaks for itself.
Rating: 8/10
