The Truth about Forever

From the award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of Once and for All comes a heartfelt novel about a group of beautiful misfits who come together to create something extraordinary. “Dessen gracefully balances comedy with tragedy and introduces a complex heroine worth getting to know.”—Publishers Weekly “A cut above.”—People Expect the unexpected. Macy has her whole summer planned out—working at the library, studying, and spending time with her mother, sharing silent grief at the traumatic loss of Macy’s father. Her plans didn’t include landing a job at Wish Catering, with its fun-loving, chaotic crew. Or helping to renovate the family’s cottage at the beach, left in disrepair since the death of her father. Or Wes, a boy with a past, a taste for Truth-telling, and amazing artistic talent. But Macy soon discovers that the things you expect least are sometimes the things you need most.
