The rgz Street Team is a group of teens who bring YA reviews to our blog, led by Postergirl Miss Erin. Find out more.Today, Miss Erin reviews The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen:
"A year has passed since Macy's father died, but she's hurting just as much as if it were yesterday. On the outside, she makes her life as perfect and organized as possible, the better to hide her inward pain and fear. She has a perfect boyfriend, perfect school life, and a perfect summer job lined up. She tells everyone she's fine, just fine. But the truth is, she's not, and she doesn't feel as if she ever will be.
"This was my fourth Sarah Dessen book, and while it certainly wasn't my favorite of hers, I did like it. Dessen has a definite knack for writing very real people and situations that are easy to connect with. I like her use of themes as well as the questions she poses at the beginning of her books and explores throughout..."

I have not read any of Sarah Dresdon's books, but I hear they are all good. Thanks.

Thanks Erin, I've not read this book yet.
This is my favorite Dessen novel. I use the last page as a monologue for auditions when appropriate.
So cool, LW!
Awesome name, Ellz Readz!
This is my favorite one too, LW! Read it right after my own dad died and it put some salve on that pain.
Sending you comfort, Melissa.
