"The Truth About Forever": Sarah Dessen- Update

     I haven't finished it yet, currently I'm about over halfway through it. So far, the story is sweet and sad. The girl, Macy, lost her father from a terrible accident with a car and she feels it is somehow her fault. Her boyfriend Jason went to Brain Camp for the summer and she is supposed to take over his job int he library at the info desk while he's gone. Meanwhile, she meets the Wish Catering people, including some teens her own age who work there. One of them, Wes, has also lost a parent. Macy ends up telling him more than she ever expected to tell anyone, including her mom. She also learns a lot about him through a game of Truth, where the one rule is that you have to tell the truth.
      Although the characters and the plot are easy to relate to and realistic in a unique way, The Truth About Forever might be a little bit slow moving and dry for some tastes. The book is almost 400 pages long. I don't usually mind slow-going books, but probably other people might have some issues with the speed of this book.
