The Truth About Forever Award-winning author by Sarah Dessen (author)

On the surface, Macy Queen is cool and calm. On the inside, she’s breaking. Silently struggling to come to terms with her dad’s death, she’s also spending the summer apart from her boyfriend. Macy’s not the type to wear her heart on her sleeve: if anyone asks, she’ll say she’s fine. But really she’s in pieces, however much she smiles her way through.

It’s only when she meets a group of new friends – and artistic, sexy Wes – that Macy realises she can stop pretending. Life doesn’t stop when someone you love leaves you – and even though she’s lost so much, there’s still a whole world out there for the finding. A rich and atmospheric tale of grief and new beginnings from a rising star.
