The Problem With Forever by Jennifer Armentrout is a beautiful, inspirational story about Mallory a/k/a "Mouse" and Rider, two kids who were in an abusive foster home together accepting their past but looking to the future. After being split up for four years, Mallory getting adopted while Rider was in a group home and foster home, they wind up in the same high school for senior year and reconnect.
I liked both the main characters who were well developed and grew throughout the book. There are many references to The Velveteen Rabbit book that is closely related to the main theme of this book so I would recommend reading that as well. It is the book Rider used to read to Mallory when they were kids and that was her favorite. There is a lot of relationships that make this a very realistic, contemporary fiction novel. I really liked Carl and Rosa too, doctors who adopted Mallory. I enjoyed this book very much and would recommend it, especially to teens.

In The Problem With Forever by Jennifer Armentrout, Mallory is a young teen girl who spent time in a foster home that was not a good situation, but could always count on a young boy named Rider. After years of being home schooled when she was taken in by a nice couple, she is ready to go to a regular high school for her senior year. She thinks she can do this. On the first day of school, she sees someone she recognizes--Rider!
I really enjoyed this book a lot! Mallory was a fantastic character as was Rider. The writing was very good too. It had me from page 1. I think you should read this one. I can't imagine anyone not liking this!
