So far, this book is AMAZING! Auden, a girl whose parents are fighting and getting a divorce is lonely. She has to leave her life as a teenager to be the perfect child for her mother; in other words she couldnt just hang out like other teens. Then she gets to spend her summer with her careless dad on the beach where he lives. He has a new family and auden is alone in the world. Auden gets a job at a clothes boutique and then she meets plenty of friends through that. Finally she meets Eli, and he lets her be the carefree teenager that she has always wanted to be.
I really am enjoying this book. I picked it because I have heard that sarah dessen is a great author and also i've seen her name before, so i knew that it should be okay to read this book. Also, the title along for the ride just seems like a good book. It seemed like a book that i could relate to. Because in many ways "i'm along for the ride". No, my parents may not be divorced, but any and every teen has problems they have to deal with. I really felt like this book spoke to me. It showed me how life could be MUCH worse and it made me grateful for what i already have. I really would recommend this to any teenager to read because its a book that MANY people could relate to.
