A better alternative for “second next”
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Is there a word or phrase (in particular) that exactly give the meaning of the page coming after the next page.
For instance, I am reading a book at page 203, but someone suggests me to read the page 205 which comes after 204 [the next page]. Here, what phrase or a word can be used for the page 205 after the next page.
I by my observation found the following phrase to define this: second next page. As we say second last (usually to mean before the last). But unfortunately, no google search results shows this phrase: neither here nor here.
The following picture might help what I am asking over here:
The example sentence to consider:
He suggested me to read a [page that comes after the next one].

"Next but one"? Perhaps it might be an option local to the UK, or maybe even more regional than that, but it's certainly a phrase I'd naturally use. So for your example:
He suggested to me to read the next but one page

Welcome to EL&U. I would also use 'next but one' but would tend to form the sentence differently, more like "He suggested that I read the next but one page." I would also use "...next page but one." I'm afraid that I find the use of "to read" in your sentence quite clumsy.

"The next page but one". This is certainly idiomatic and would be understood.
