The truth about forever

Hey guys! Today I am doing a blog on a book I finished called The Truth about Forever.  It is by Sarah Dessen, who is a well known author. 

First, here is the summary from the book cover...

" Macy’s summer stretches before her, carefully planned and outlined. She will spend her days sitting at the library information desk. She will spend her evenings studying for the SATs. Spare time will be used to help her obsessive mother prepare for the big opening of the townhouse section of her luxury development. But Macy’s plans don’t anticipate a surprising and chaotic job with Wish Catering, a motley crew of new friends, or … Wes. Tattooed, artistic, anything-but-expected Wes. He doesn’t fit Macy’s life at all–so why does she feel so comfortable with him? So … happy? What is it about him that makes her let down her guard and finally talk about how much she misses her father, who died before her eyes the year before? Sarah Dessen delivers a page-turning novel that carries readers on a roller coaster of denial, grief, comfort, and love as we watch a broken but resilient girl pick up the pieces of her life and fit them back together. "

Now here is my review...
Overall I thought this was a great book! It would be perfect as a summer read. It is in fact based in the summer. Anyways, this book was very slow at first but got much better towards the end. Sarah Dessen is truly a great writer & this book was well written. I really did relate to many parts in this book, so maybe thats why I like it so much!
Stars? ***(3/5)
Thats becuase it was good but very slow-paced.

So thats my review on this book. I know it was small, but this was my first ever book review & I'm not used to it yet! So yeah.. Bye!
