Publisher's summary

From number-one New York Times best-selling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes a riveting new story about friendship, survival, and finding your voice.

For some people, silence is a weapon. For Mallory "Mouse" Dodge, it's a shield. Growing up, she learned that the best way to survive was to say nothing. And even though it's been four years since her nightmare ended, she's beginning to worry that the fear that holds her back will last a lifetime.

Now, after years of homeschooling with loving adoptive parents, Mallory must face a new milestone - spending her senior year at a public high school. But of all the terrifying and exhilarating scenarios she's imagined, there's one she never dreamed of - that she'd run into Rider Stark, the friend and protector she hasn't seen since childhood, on her very first day.

It doesn't take long for Mallory to realize that the connection she shared with Rider never really faded. Yet the deeper their bond grows, the more it becomes apparent that she's not the only one grappling with lingering scars from the past. And as she watches Rider's life spiral out of control, Mallory must make a choice between staying silent and speaking out - for the people she loves, the life she wants, and the truths that need to be heard.

Hands down, best listen of 2016 so far

There is no way to walk away from this book and not feel changed. It is an unforgettable story of learning you should know how to save yourself but recognizing that sometimes it's ok to let others save you too.

I will seriously never forget Mouse and I hope I can always remember to not take for granted the people in my life who are kind to me, because as we read in this story, that is not guaranteed to anyone.

Amy Landon was fantastic. I do with her voice was younger since it does take place in high school, but I'm not going to dock any stars because what she did was on point.

Great listen!

Loved it so encouraging! Love this author and Narrator! Kinda sad its a stand alone novel would love to hear about these characters more!

Great book for moms and 16 year old daughter

Would you consider the audio edition of The Problem with Forever to be better than the print version?

I only listened to the audio edition.

What did you like best about this story?

I like the fact that it opened up an opportunity to discuss real teen issues with my daughter.

What about Amy Landon’s performance did you like?

I thought Amy's did a great job, very enjoyable.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It really was a roller coaster of emotion, it really kept us guessing

Any additional comments?

no

Amazing book!

This is one of the best books I've read/listened to in a while. The story captured me from the beginning of the prologue.
Very well written. It made me feel like I was there - connected to the characters. I cried and laughed while reading this book.

Awesome, awesome, awesome

When I first started reading the book, I didn't realize it was a high school young adult book and almost returned it. Boy, am I glad I didn't. I should've just put my trust in Jennifer Armentrout as well any other books, because it was great. lovely story

Mallory and Rider

Would you listen to The Problem with Forever again? Why?

Yes, I enjoyed the narrator and their story.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked Mallory and her will.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I had a lot of moments where situations made me sad especially for Mallory.

Any additional comments?

While I thought this was a slow read (listen) I still found it quite enjoyable. I started to wonder if my guessing some of the situations made this predictable but the fact that I was still able to enjoy it all made me not care so much. I liked Rider and I loved Mallory. Her (both of theirs actually) history sucked but I liked the way she was able to fight through things. Of course I'm curious about Ansley and Hector so it will be great to get their story next hopefully.

Wow! Just Wow!

I don't do a lot of written reviews, but was so moved by this audio, I just had to say something. I am making my way through all of Jennifer Armentrout's audios and believe me I have many so far, have not come across a one that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed, but I have to say this had to be one of the most moving and emotional audios I have ever listened to - what a beautiful, emotional message of self worth and coming through the nightmares of foster care and the horrors that some of these kids face. Ryder and Mallory were two of my favorite characters, you really felt their pain, their love, heartbreak, and so much more - don't pass this one up, you will not be sorry!

Better Than I Expected

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was very surprised how much I fell in love with this book and as always Jen brought me into her world quickly! I cried, laughed, and cried again, but I loved it!
