 It’s been years since I’ve read a book that actually made me cry. The last book was The Fault In Our Stars (TFIOS) by John Green. But Jennifer L. Armentrout’s The Problem With Forever is so deep and beautiful that it’s impossible not to be touched by Rider and Mallory’s story. I happened to stumble on The Problem With Forever at the local library last week, and I’m glad I did! If you’re looking for a young-adult book that’s contemporary fiction (with a delicately written friends-to-lovers romance), then definitely read this one. Even though there’s romance in this novel, the story’s actual theme rises above the kissing and hand holding, which will lead you to tears. Prepare yourself for all the feels as you get to know Rider and Mallory’s story. TPWF Book Description A story about friendship, survival, and finding your voice. Growing up, Mallory Dodge 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, Mallory must face a new milestone—spending her senior year at a public high school. But she never imagined 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 soon 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. Taking It Further If you feel like taking it further after (or before) reading this book, you can help out kids in need at one of our local schools. I hope that every school has a pantry for students, but I only have the info for one of ours. They stock food and toiletry items, and you can donate directly to their pantry on Venmo: @PTPantry (which stands for Pecan Trail Intermediate Pantry). TIA! Related Blog Posts
