This is the second YA romance book i loved reading after Easy by Tammara Webber.
After reading Easy, i was searching for similar kind of YA books when i came across the author Sarah Dessen. I read some of her book summaries and i liked it. So i started reading with the book Just Listen by Sarah Dressen. It was a good book to read and i became an instant fan of Sarah Dessen
but i dont know, i just can't say it was my favorite. The next book i read was The Truth about Forever and wow, i just loved it. It was sweet and funny in a simply narrated way. It is on one of my top favorite list. So, today i thought i will encourage you all for reading 'The Truth about Forever' by writing a fantastic review on the book
To sum up the novel:

I liked Macy's character a lot, how finally she understands the truth about forever that forever always changes, it is a self created one. Macy is afraid to live her own life, mainly she stops her early morning runs which she use to do with her father, and tries to live a
life for perfection just like her mother wants as she does not want to worry her mother more after Macy's father's death.
Wes's character is fabulous. Wes is an upcoming sculpture artist who is having similar situations as Macy as he has also suffered his mother's death leaving his younger brother to his care but has made his life almost perfect with his family catering business and his artist work.
The truth sharing conversations between Macy and Wes are so cute...you will love it! The way they connect to each other through the truth game and share their life secrets are nicely depicted by Ms.Dessen. I liked the character of Kristy also, Macy's catering crew friend, she is smart and funny who helps Macy realize the truth about her life.
