Novel Relfection: The Truth About Forever - Sarah Dessen



After Macy's father died from a heart attack, she blames herself for what happened, wishing she wasn't lazy and had gotten up and ran with him to somehow prevent what had occurred. Macy begins excel in everything she does, meaning perfect grades, perfect performance, perfect boyfriend, and by being so perfect and planned out she believes that the guilt that gnaws at her might some way be at ease. When her boyfriend leaves for summer camp, she is left all alone with a long, hot summer all by herself.

She goes through days with the same routine, a boring job (filling in while her boyfriends away) at a library working at the the info desk. Until she meets the catering Wish team at one of her mothers' parties, who does not at all fit into her carved perfect world and she finds herself drawn to all the chaos.
