Week 11

This week I read The Truth About Forever for a little over two hours. Macy had started her job at the library and hated it. The other two girls who worked there treated her poorly and acted as if she could only answer questions about nonsense. May emailed Jason telling him about this and he got defensive and said her problems were juvenile and that she needed to work her problems out, not tell him about them. She emailed him back saying she understood what he meant and at the end she said "I Love You." They had never said this to each other before, but she really felt like they said in nonverbally. When Jason emailed back he broke up with Macy. Macy didn't tell her mother about this and pretended like everything was okay. Macy was really upset and decided to go driving and she rain into the Wishbone Catering van. Since Delia, the owner, had previously offered her a job she decided to follow it. Delia put her to work that night. This was fun and out of the ordinary for Macy. She began workning more often, while still working at the library. I left off with Macy's older sister visiting and trying to convince their mother to fix up their dad's beach house. It had been sitting unoccupied since their dad died. I didn't find out a decision, but I am hoping to find one out in this next week. I think Macy's mom is way too absorbed into work and Macy is too absorbed into studying that it would be a nice break for both of them. I really enjoy how this book is so realistic. All of the things can and probably have happened to real people somewhere. I think it is neat to think about that as I read.
