6th POST, DUE THE 14TH

SO... I READ TWO OTHER SARAH DESSEN BOOKS WHILE CAMPING(IT WAS FREEZING), BUT NOW I AM READING THE TRUTH ABOUT FOREVER, and im on page 246, BY SARAH DESSEN ALSO.


SPOILERS MAYBE SOON????
I LOVE HOW THE AUTHOR DEVELOPS THE CHARACTERS AND HOW WES AND MACY JUST SEEM TO MATCH, LIKE A PUZZLE PIECE. MACY AND WES ARE PERFECT FOR EACHOTHER AND THEY BOTH HAVE PRIOR COMMITTMENTS, LIKE THEY BOTH HAVE BOYFRIENDS/GIRLFRIENDS, BUT THEY ARE ON HOLD WITH THEM.


WES AND MACY ARE GOING TO A PARTY WITH FRIENDS... THEY ARE IN A CAR AFTER ONE OF THEIR CATERING JOBS, IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND THE CAR RUNS OUT OF GAS. WES IS POLITE AND ASKS MACY WHICH WAY TO GO ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THEY WALK. THE WALK ABOUT TWO MILES, AND ALL THE WHILE THEY DECIDE TO PLAY TRUTH.
IF YOU ARE A BOY YOU PROBABLY DONT KNOW WHAT THAT IS...WES DIDNT. IT IS WHERE YOU PLAY A GAME, AND ASK QUESTIONS. YOU
WANT TO GET THEM TO PASS, BUT YOU HAVE TO TELL THE TRUTH!
YOU CAN ASK THEM REALLY HARD QUESTIONS OR JUST ASK THEM
EASY ONES. THAT'S ABOUT IT. ITS ACTUALLY REALLY FUN.
SO THEY BOTH PLAY TRUTH AND THEY DONT QUIT CUZ THEY R REALLY COMPETITIVE. THEY BOTH ASK QUESTIONS. MACY HAS HAD HER DAD DIE AND WES'S MOM DIED. THEY CONNECT ON MANY LEVELS. I JUST LIKE HOW IN THE STORY THEY KEEP LEARNING MORE AND MORE ABOUT EACHOTHER. IT MAY SEEM PRETTY SAPPY BUT IT'S NOT LIKE THEY LOVE EACHOTHER OR YOU KNOW, ARE BOYFRIEND GIRLFRIEND. THEY R JUST FRIENDS THAT SHARE ALMOST EVERYTHING TOGETHER. MACY HASNT TOLD ANYONE HER FEELINGS ABOUT HER DAD OR OTHER THINGS. SHE NEVER DID, SO WHEN WES ASKS HER A QUESTION ABOUT IT (KINDA) SHE IS RELUCTANT, BUT ANSWERS IT. I THINK IT WAS GOOOD TO GET IT OUTTA HER SYSTEM AND TO TELL SOMEONE FINALLY.
I JUST REALLY LIKE HOW THEY RELATE TO EACHOTHER AFTER MEETING COINCIDENTALLY, AT A CATERING JOB AT HER HOUSE. THE CHARACTERS REALLY DEVELOP AND I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE READ IN A WHILE.
THIS BOOK IS MUCH LIKE HER OTHER BOOKS, TOO BECAUSE SHE ALWAYS HAS SOMEONE HOLDING BACK ON FEELINGS. I THINK ALMOST EVERYONE CAN RELATE TO THAT IN SOME WAY. WES HELPS MACY DEAL WITH HER FATHERS DEATH SO MUCH THAT IT IS AMAZING! WES IS KINDA LIKE MACY'S LIFESAVER.
I REALLY LIKE THIS BOOK AND I THINK YOU WILL TOO... READ IT AND IF U WANNA SEE A QUICK SUMMARY BEFORE YOU CHECK IT OUT, CLICK ON ONE OR THE UNDERLINED WORDS, SARAH DESSEN OR MORE SPECIFICALLY THE TRUTH ABOUT FOREVER

ANOTHER COOL THING ABOUT THE BOOK IS HOW SARAH DESSEN CREATES THE CHARACTERS. WES IS JUST INSPIRING. SHE EXPLAINS HOW HE IS GORGEOUS AND HOW HE IS SOOO INTO ART. REALLY, HE IS KINDA A ROLE MODEL. HE IS AMAZING AT WELDING AND HE ALSO DOESNT LIKE PERFECTION, HE REALIZES THAT EVERY FLAW IS AN IMPERFECTION, AND IT IS OKAY TO HAVE THAT.
IT'S COOL TO ME HOW MACY OPENS UP TO THIS GUY SHE HARDLY KNOWS, AND THEY END UP CONNECTING. THEY HAVE THEIR PARENTS DEATHS IN COMMON, AND THEY FIGURE OUT MORE AND MORE IN THEIR GAME OF TRUTH. (I DONT WANA GIVE TO MUCH AWAY).
ENUFF ABOUT WES AND MACY, WELL, IM GUNNA KEEP WITH MACY CUZ SHES THE CAUSE OF EVERYTHING AND ITS FROM HER POINT OF VIEW. HER STINKY POO PERFECT AS EVERYTHING BOYFRIEND IS A SNOB. HE GOES TO "BRAIN CAMP" AND SETS GOALS WAY HIGH FOR HIM AND HER. HE EMAILS HER EVERYDAY TO TELL HER WHAT TO DO WHILE FILING IN FOR HIM AT THE LIBRARY. :( THEN SHE CLOSES HER NOTE BACK WITH LOVE YOU, MACY AND HE FREAKS OUT. THEEY HAVE BEEN OGING OUT FOR LIKE 2 YEAERS AND HE WONT GET CLOSE TO HER, EVEN HOLD HANDS. HE THINKS THEY ARE GETTING "DESTRACTED." HE TAKES A BREAAK FROM HER...
BECAUSE OF THAT, SHES ALL UPSET BUT STILL WORKS AT THE LIBRARY. SHE HATES IT AND THE PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE ARE "PERFECT" TOO AND ARE TOTAL SNOBS TO HER. SHE HATES IT, AND WHEN SHE MEETS THE CATERING CREW SHORTHANDED AT HER HOUSE WORKING FOR A DAY, SHE HAS FUN. SHE HELPS THEM FOR A DAY AND THEN WHEN SHE SEES THEIR VAN NEXT, "JOINS THE GANG!" SHE IS NOW ONE OF THEM AND HAS FRIENDS OTHER THAN STUPID STINK POO BOYFRIEND JASON. KRISTY AND HER SISTER MONICA, AND THE PREGNANT WOMAN RUNNING THE SERVICE ARE ALL REALLY NICE TO HER AND TREAT HER SOOOOOOO WELL.
I LOVE THIS BOOK AND HOW SHE MELDS ALL OF THE THINGS AND PEOPLE TOGETHER TO MAKE MACY'S LIFE BETTER. IT ALL FITS IN, AND NOW I GOTTA GO STUDY FOR CONSTITUTION TEST... POOEY.

READ THIS BOOK, ITS GOOD
