I didn't like The Truth About Forever. 
 ***** 
 It saddens me to say that I did not enjoy The Truth About Forever. The sa-woon factor tugged a little smile from me, but the giggle was not there. Sigh. My first Sarah Dessen book is an epic fail. =( 
 Macy is not my type of a female lead. Timid, depressing, hopeless. Oh yes, i know her dad died. Still, i would've liked it if Dessen portrayed Macy a little stronger, a subtle fighter in her own way. Her character was built up way too slow. Wes is likeable enough. I mean i would like him as a best friend, but for a boyfriend? Erm, not really. Wes' character is a lot more interesting than Macy's, but it was not enough for me to go gaga over him. 
 The story interchangeably tells Macy's grief (and guilt) over her father's death and her growing affection for Wes. The plot was simple; there was nothing new there, thus my boredom in reading it. 
 I'm not saying that Macy is not allowed to mourn (no matter how long it would be). What I'm saying is that Macy is not the girl I will look up to if ever I will grieve on something (or someone). Why? Because the resolve to move on despite the heartache is hard to find in her. 
 What is The Truth About Forever? It only means forever is different for each person. Therefore, you cannot compare yours to others, and you can deny them theirs. And THAT is the only thing i liked about this novel.
