Stacking the Shelves #150

 

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews that lets us share what we've added to our shelves.

I basically never use #booksfortrade but when I saw Kelly had an arc of Kasie West's older book, I had to try. We managed to work something out and I also got a signed copy of The Truth About Forever (my favourite Dessen book!) from her. Thanks so much Kelly <3
 

I actually got these books a while ago but forgot to include them so here they are! Thank you so much Raincoast Books! I loved Nemesis last year so I can't wait to find out how the story continues in Ally!

What did you add to your shelves this week?

Review: The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen

I went on a Sarah Dessen binge-read before I started blogging and really enjoyed most of her books. Today I wanted to share the one book that I actually wrote a review on :P

Goodreads Summary:

A long, hot summer...

That's what Macy has to look forward to while her boyfriend, Jason, is away at Brain Camp. Days will be spent at a boring job in the library, evenings will be filled with vocabulary drills for the SATs, and spare time will be passed with her mother, the two of them sharing a silent grief at the traumatic loss of Macy's father.

But sometimes, unexpected things can happen—things such as the catering job at Wish, with its fun-loving, chaotic crew. Or her sister's project of renovating the neglected beach house, awakening long-buried memories. Things such as meeting Wes, a boy with a past, a taste for Truth-telling, and an amazing artistic talent, the kind of boy who could turn any girl's world upside down. As Macy ventures out of her shell, she begins to question her sheltered life.

Is it really always better to be safe than sorry?
