This article has worn a Template:Notability since July 2009. No assertion of notability is made in the article. A Google search for ("truth about forever" dessen) yielded lots of hits, but the vast majority were either bookseller sites or fan blogs. I found a one-paragraph review at Kirkus Reviews; another one-paragraph review at Publishers Weekly; and a five-paragraph review (whose final paragraph was a single sentence) in The Family Magazine of Michiana. However, there doesn't appear to be any in-depth coverage in national media. To me, this appears to fail WP:GNG. Ammodramus (talk) 19:36, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. I found some other reviews and it looks like this is also being used pretty heavily in many schools' summer reading lists and in classes.[1], [2], [3], [4]Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:32, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Keep per Tokyogirl79. It's no War and Peace, but it's a book of above-average notability from a definitely notable author. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 10:45, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
