Everything changes when she meets the chaotic Wish Catering crew and starts really living life. Speak From The Publisher: Macy's summer stretches before her, carefully planned and outlined. She will spend her days sitting at the library information desk. She will spend her evenings studying for the SATs. Spare time will be used to help her obsessive mother prepare for the big opening of the townhouse section of her luxury development. But Macy's plans don't anticipate a surprising and chaotic job with Wish Catering, a motley crew of new friends, or ... Wes. Tattooed, artistic, anything-but-expected Wes. He doesn't fit Macy's life at all--so why does she feel so comfortable with him? So ... happy? What is it about him that makes her let down her guard and finally talk about how much she misses her father, who died before he eyes the year before? Sarah Dessen delivers a page-turning novel that carries readers on a roller coaster of denial, grief, comfort, and love as we watch a broken but resilient girl pick up the pieces of her life and fit them back together.

I'm sad to say that from reading the first two pages I could tell how this story was going to end. Sarah Dessen is a good writer but I find so many of her stories just too corny for my liking. Truth About Forever is just, I don't know, I just goes on and on about the same thing over and over again. I'm glad that some people do like it though.

Sarah dessen is a brilliant writer.
Macy's Dad died last summer - and she and her mother have dealt with it by not dealing with it. They do their hair, wear make-up, work hard, and repeat to everyone, "I'm fine. Everythings fine - just fine."
However, there's more to life then careful control, as Macy learns when she meets the nutty Wish Catering Company and the free-thinking, ex-juvy boy hottie Wes...

This is the story of Macy, the girl who's boyfriend has his life meticulously planned out, and wants Macy to be just like him. When he goes away to brain camp for the summer, Macy takes his place working at the library, and soon realises that she isn't part of his world. When she meets the team from Wish Catering, her world changes completely. She gains a new job, a bunch of new friends, and realises that theres more important things than having everthing planned out. Macy learns to take chances, make mistakes, and be happy with who she is.
