Every time I finish a contemporary story such as this, I tell myself I need to read them more often. And it's true. We all need a story that has that specific arc, where you know it won't be perfect but it will end exactly where it's meant to. That's exactly how The Truth About Forever happened.

The Truth About Forever is the story of Macy, teen girl who has experienced grief and loss in multiple ways. It's a story about how she works through it over the summer. It's a story of love, and not just the romantic kind.

The Truth About Forever is a palette cleanser, especially for those of us who read a lot of heavy fantasy. It's a one-sitting book, not because it's easy or short but because you move through the story naturally. It's my first story by the author, and I know it won't be my last :).
