About THE PROBLEM WITH FOREVER:
From #1 New York Times
bestselling 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 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.

Exclusive Excerpt
The
expression on her face said he gave great full frontal, and when he laughed,
her pink lips split into a wide smile. Her smile transformed her from pretty to
beautiful, but my attention swung away from her as tiny hairs rose all over my
body. That laugh…it was deep, rich and somehow familiar. A shiver crept over my
shoulders. That laugh…
He
was walking backward, and I was rather amazed that he didn’t trip over
anything, actually somewhat envious of that fact. And then I realized he was
heading toward the last half circle. Toward me. I glanced around. There were
only a few seats open, two on my left. The girl was following him. Not just
following him. Touching him.
Touching
him like she’d done it a lot.
Her
slim arm was extended, her hand planted in the center of his stomach, just
below his chest. She bit down on her lower lip as her hand drifted farther
south. Golden bangles dangling from her wrist got awful close to the worn
leather belt. My cheeks heated as the boy stepped out of her reach. There was
something playful about his movements, as if this dance was a daily routine for
them both.
He
turned at the end of the desks, stepping behind the occupied chair, and my gaze
tracked up narrow hips, over the stomach the girl had touched, up and up, and
then I saw his face.
I
stopped breathing.
My
brain couldn’t perceive what I was seeing. It did not compute. I stared up at
him, really saw him, saw a face that was familiar yet new to me, more mature
than I remembered but still achingly beautiful. I knew him. Oh my God, I would
know him anywhere, even if it had been four years and the last time I’d seen
him, that last night that had been so horrible, had changed my life forever.
It
was too surreal.
Now
the reason why he’d popped in my head this morning made sense, because I’d seen
him, but hadn’t realized it was him.
I
couldn’t move, couldn’t get enough air into my lungs and couldn’t believe this
was happening. My hands slipped off the desk, falling limply into my lap as he
dipped into the seat next to me. His gaze was on the girl who took the seat
next to him, and his profile, the strong jaw that had only been hinted at the
last time I’d seen him, tilted as his eyes moved over the front of the room,
across the wall-length chalkboard. He looked like he had back then, but bigger
and with everything more…more defined. From the eyebrows darker than the mix of
brown and black hair and thick lashes to the broad cheekbones and the slight
scruff covering the curve of his jaw.
Goodness,
he’d grown up in the way I’d thought he would when I was twelve and started to
really look at him, to see him as a boy.
I
couldn’t believe he was here. My heart was trying to claw itself out of my
chest as lips—lips fuller that I remembered—tilted up, and a knot formed in my
belly as the dimple formed in his right cheek. The only dimple he had. No
matching set. Just one. My mind raced back through the years, and I could only
think of a handful of times I’d seen him relaxed. Leaning back in the chair
that seemed too small for him, he slowly turned his head toward me. Eyes that
were brown with tiny flecks of gold met mine.
Eyes
I’d never forgotten.
The
easy, almost lazy smile I’d never seen on his face before froze. His lips
parted and a paleness seeped under his tawny skin. Those eyes widened, the gold
flecks seeming to expand. He recognized me; I had changed a lot since then, but
still, recognition dawned in his features. He was moving again, leaning forward
on his seat toward me. Four words roared out of the past and echoed in my head.
Don’t
make a sound.
“Mouse?”
he breathed.
Praise for THE PROBLEM WITH FOREVER:
“The intensity
between Mouse and Rider is palpably sizzling… romance aficionados [will] lose
themselves in Mouse and Rider’s smoldering glances and steamy kisses.” –Kirkus
“Armentrout’s effort
to gradually coax her protagonist from her shell via a supportive, loving
community succeeds, and readers looking for an inspirational comeback story
will find Mallory’s to be satisfying and hopeful” –Publishers Weekly
