Well this was my first Sarah Dessen novel, and I was impressed. It wasn't really what I was expecting, but in a good way. I figured the young love would dominate this book, but that's not what happened here. The Truth About Forever was really centered around grief, and how each individual person deals with things in their own way, and it was about moving forward and growing up. I loved all of this!

Having lost a parent at a young age as well, I could definitely related to some of the things that Macy and her family were going through. I thought Sarah Dessen did an incredible job portraying how potent and unique each persons grief can be.

The characters were fantastic as well, I absolutely adored everyone at Wish. Well everyone but monotone lol. She really didn't have a whole lot going on, but that's ok. They were all pretty eccentric, in all the best ways, and exactly what poor Macy needed.

I will definitely be looking for more of Sarah Dessen's novels in the future!
