Warrior Cats: The Four Clans

Wowoww, this thing is OLD! But I just finished an amazinggggg book and just HAD to do a review on it, and decided that this was a good place to do it(: Most of you have already probably read it, but it's far too good so if you haven't, you have to. Also, sorry that the review is so sucky and long... I'm horrible at them but just wanted to tell people about this AMAZING read!



Name: The Truth About Forever
Author: Sarah Dessen
Description:
Macy Queen is seemingly perfect on the outside- living up to her mother and boyfriend's high standards, maintaining flawless grades, she has it all. But it's been three years since her father's tragic, unexpected death and inside, Macy is falling apart. For the summer, her perfect in-control intelligent boyfriend, Jason, has to go to Brain Camp, leaving Macy to wonder what to do over the long, hot break. Keeping in touch through email and filling in for Jason's job at the library, which Macy despises with every fiber of her being, she emails him about her troubles, ending with a risky move: the first "I love you". jason doesn't respond well, and he replies to Macy saying that they should take a break from their relationship during the summer and decide where they stand at the end. Macy is heartbroken, but agrees.

Then Macy tacks onto a new job: a catering business, where she makes longlasting friendships and meets a very handsome, charming boy named Wes. It turns out to be much more than that, for Macy and Wes really hit it off and soon become close friends, playing their all-time favorite game quite often: Truth. They learn so much about each other and build off of their common ground- Wes has lost a parent as well.

But as the book nears the end, Macy's mother is hiding from her grief and it's causing the family to fall apart. Macy has finally found happiness and her mother is too shocked by the change in her daughter to understand. When she decides that Macy cannot hang out with her new friends anymore after an incident in which Macy returns late to an important event because her boss went into labor, Macy's sister Caroline knows that her family has got to break open from this shell of grief. And as the summer continues, Macy wonders where she and Wes really stand in their friendship, and if they really do have something after all...
