The Truth About Forever
Again, having vacation time really rocks. There's nothing I like more than spending hours in bed finishing more good books. I have to say though, the weather today has been utterly amazing (sorry to those of you knee deep in snow, but after a couple days of yucky rain here, today was just picture perfect) so I did get out of the house and walked to the library for more books this morning and then later this afternoon walked over to our main downtown street for some more yarn.
The Truth About Forever
by Sarah Dessen
Another of the well deserved teen top ten (yay, I'm half way through the list!). It had a lot of similarities to Someone Like You, which I had also enjoyed. I love these teen books where the main character finds a way to break out of the expectations of everyone around her and meets awesome new friends who help her to really be herself.
Here are the official summaries:
"The summer following her father's death, Macy plans to work at the library and wait for her brainy boyfriend to return from camp, but instead she goes to work at a catering business where she makes new friends and finally faces her grief."
"Although Macy has her whole summer planned out, situations arise that she does not expect, especially her encounter with Wes, a tattooed artist, who makes her feel surprisingly at ease and with whom she feels she can let down her guard."
