The Best Part- The book that I am still currently reading is “The Truth About Forever” by Sarah Dessen. I am still really enjoying this book, so there are lots of parts in it that I have really liked. My absolute favourite part though would have to be the way that the author just simply describes each character. She describes each person completely and in full detail which I really like because I feel that I can connect to the characters better and actually know who they are, not just a brief summary of who they are. I also feel like when authors do this I can actually feel like I am part of the book and personally know each character and what they are all about. Another thing that’s good about when an author does this is that I can actually figure out if I could be friends with the characters or where I would stand with them. I also feel like I can have personal and emotional connections to the characters in my book because of the way that they are described. There is one more thing that I really enjoy about this book and that is that it’s written in first person. A lot of books are written in first person, but some I don’t really like that way, if I don’t like or can’t relate to the main character then I usually don’t like it like that. This book though is written very well in first person, I feel like I can connect really well to the main character, Macy, even though I’m not really like her. I think it’s also because of how well she was described in the beginning so I now know what she is like and what her personality is. I even feel in some parts of the book I am Macy and feel like I am the one doing what she is doing, which I really like because when I read a book I like to feel like I’m actually there.
