About this ebook
On the outside, Macy Queen is cool and calm. On the inside, she's breaking. Silently struggling with her Dad's death, and spending the summer apart from her oh-so-perfect boyfriend, Macy is smiling her way through - she's 'fine'. It's only when she meets a group of new friends - and artistic, sexy Wes catches her eye - she realizes she can wear her heart on her sleeve sometimes. Because life doesn't stop when someone disappears - and even though she's lost so much, can Macy see what she has to gain?
Hugely engaging and with great emotional depth, Sarah Dessen's rich, warm, atmospheric writing makes this the perfect summer read for teenage girls.

A book about a girl who has lost her father and who has a very distant relationship to her mother. A girl who is always tying to be perfect so she can live up to the expectations of her boyfriend. When he leaves for the summer to go to a genius camp she begins to make friends with new people. But it's not really what her strict mother wanted for her perfect daughter. I loved that book, as I do with most of Sarah Dessens Books. The Truth About Forever is highly relatable if you have ever felt like not beeing able to live up to peoples expectations.
