Since I liked Sarah Dessen's Just Listen so much, I decided to read another of her novels, The Truth About Forever. In this story, Macy is a teen whose brainy boyfriend is spending the summer at camp, while she stays home, studying for the SAT and working at the library. When Macy decides to start a second job with a catering company, though, she makes new friends and finds herself changing, becoming more self-assured and willing to take a few more risks. Like Annabel in Just Listen, Macy discovers a lot about herself and about how to better cope with the messy, unpredictable, and imperfect nature of life. Dessen strikes me as a very wise young woman, and I like what she has to say in her books.
