The Truth about Forever by Sarah Dessen
4.0
This is one of the better YA books I have read. Great character development, a plot that kept me turning the each page. The only bad thing I have to say about this book is how quick Dessen ended the book. I finished the last sentence happy where she left the characters but wanting to know more about how they got there and where they are going.
Praises for the novel are, first this truly is a YA novel. The characters are believable teenagers who deal with the life in a realistic way. I would recommend this to any 15-16 year old and really to anyone adult. The reality that teenagers cuss and go to parties that have alcohol are evident in the novel but the main characters don't delve into the deep end. It was refreshing to have an adult figure who was grounded and brought wisdom. There was respect given to adults in a believable way. Yes, they broke rules but they did not do it flippantly and without consequence.
The biggest praise is just the belivablity of the story, the growth in the characters, the moving of the plot. You just get lost in their world and you want to see them succeed, you want to slap sense into the ridiculousness of some of them. You want to cheer them all on for not giving up.
Great book!
