The Truth about Forever by Sarah Dessen
5.0
4.5 Stars
This might possibly be my favorite Sarah Dessen novel, although Lock and Key is right there with it.
All of the characters were extremely relatable, things were actually somewhat discussed and worked out instead of being glossed over, which I really appreciated.
The romance in this wasn't over the top, instead it was a steady build. Wes and Macy's game of Truth was fun and terrifying because I couldn't inagine being nearly as honest as they always were.
This book also had some great friendships, aside from any romantic interests. Macy and Kristy were genuine friends and it was nice that they never became jealous or ridiculous with each other. They were just real friends.
There are so many great aspects of this book. I could continue listing them for a long time. There were a few things that bothered me though. One was Monica. I really wish we had more insight into her character, what she was really like and why she was always so quiet. Another was Jason. He was a very problematic character and I wish that there had been some more discussion about how emotionally abusive he was being. Because he was. And finally, the ending. It was rather abrupt and would have been more satisfying with just a few more pages explaining how things were going, how Macy's mother was interacting with her friends, something. Still, it was a great book.
