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.

More please!

Have you listened to any of Amy Landon’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not but I am looking for more of her work now. She did a wonderful job of sucking me into the story.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

This entire book is an emotional roller-coaster. It would be hard to to be moved. "Be as quiet as a mouse", and everything to do with the Velveteen Rabbit are some of my favourites.

Any additional comments?

This book was amazing to listen to. It was captivating, the narrator did an incredible job. I loved Mallory's story. She grew so much as a person and hearing how her past shaped her life and how she was working to move past it was beautiful.
Rider, oh Rider, I loved you most of the book and wanted to shake you at other moments. What a sexy artist he is. From a shared broken past their story is something special.
The side characters are also pretty well fleshed out and I wouldn't mind learning more about them still. Particularly Hector, Kiara, and Ainsley.
I highly recommend listening to this one!

WORTH EVERY SECOND

Just listen. I was hesitant about this download at first.. turns out it was the best decision I've made since Harry Potter, which is saying something. get it. now.

The Problem with Forever

There really isn't a single bad thing I can say about this book. From beginning to end I enjoyed this book. I was so engrossed with the scenarios and characters in the story. I felt several different emotions while listening. The narrator did an amazing job of delivering the characters. I absolutely cannot wait to listen to more from this author and narrator!

I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Blast.

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
