MM Reviews: The Truth About Forever

Her life ended in a hospital with an umbilical cord wrapped snugly around her small fragile neck. The mother cried while the father stood gazing on as the doctors tried to revive the newborn. Someday she wanted to teach her daughter how to walk and someday he wanted to watch her walk at graduation. The couple may have had different hopes but they had the same goal—to watch their daughter grow like a flower after the first spring rain.

She would be the only product of the mother and father’s dream.

The Truth About Forever is built like no other story I have seen before. The prologue is not what someone would expect a story to start out like. It doesn't start the actual story, nor does it end it. It's a separate story (so far) that seems to not have anything to do with the actual story. It sets up a world that's intriguing to the right reader. The way it's written sends chills down my spine. Though the story is not relevant, it sets up the entire tone for the rest of the piece. The rest, however, is mind blowing. The first sentence of the second chapter told me how amazing the story would be.

The story is about a woman named Viola. A woman who wasn't supposed to live, a woman who was revived as a newborn and was given a second chance. It tells her story of her parents and her life. It also states how her parents were supposed to act, when she did die as a newborn. Though short, the words have a deep impact. The choppiness to the sentences is bitter yet it what makes the story interesting.

Whoever can appreciate the simple forms of stories, this is for you. It's extremely interesting and is far worth the two minutes to read. Viola's story is one of the rare stories that can continue on forever. I cannot wait for more, and hopefully more readers will join in.
