The Next Forever
From Goodreads: One night in college can change everything…
Away at college, Amy just wants one night alone without her high school sweetheart, Joe. So when he invites her to go to the library, she heads off on her own instead. How she ended up at a house party with the mysterious bad-boy Trevor is another story…
Joe so isn’t going to the library. He needs space from Amy, too, so he’s decided to rush a fraternity, to get back the swagger he had in high school. But it doesn’t take long for the brothers to invite him to the real rush here the beer is flowing and one particular girl has set her eyes on Joe.
Over the course of one wild night, both Amy and Joe will have to decide if their futures belong with two new people, or whether the next forever will have their first loves in it.

Warning: If you have not read Pretty Amy, you will probably want to read that first.
I was a big fan of Pretty Amy. I won a copy when it was released and since then have bought all Lisa Burnsteins's subsequent novels and novellas, most of which I've enjoyed. The Next Forever however didn't do much for me. Maybe it was too short, so the story didn't have enough time to build up properly. Maybe I should have reread Pretty Amy first (I read it back in 2012). Whatever the reason...it just didn't work for me. It kept me entertained for an evening so not all was lost.
