So far in "The Truth About Forever", Macy, the main character has just started to tell the story of her life, and the meaning of all the people involved in it. Already, I've gotten annoyed at someone in the book-the mother. Ever since Macy's father died, her mother had been keeping herself occupied in the work zone. This means: not paying attention to her children, and only focusing on her computer and phone. She's just always seemed so out of it when she was at home with Macy, and because of this, Macy had never spoken up and confessed her real emotions.
I have to say, having a parent that doesn't even talk to you must really stink. The worst part about the whole issue is that Macy's mom doesn't even notice. She just assumes that, because Macy never spoke up to say anything was wrong, that she was just fine. When, actually, it;s the exact opposite. Hiding your feelings means that you have fear of what the reactions might be. Macy's mom shouldn't be so expectant of Macy to blurt out what's going on inside her head. No one can really do that without even the tiniest but of fear in their mind, especially Macy. I just think that's something that Macy's mother should have known before assuming that everything was fine.
