Gabriella's rating: 4 out of 5 stars
This book is far from your stereotypical romance. Along for the Ride follows the life of Auden -- a girl who has been unable to experience a normal childhood -- during a summer with her father, stepsister, and stepmother, Helen. This book talks about trust, acceptance, and coping with our everyday struggles. Dessen crafts a story of friendship and romance, and looking beyond a person's exterior. I love the depth of this book and how Auden discovers how to be the child she never could be. Join Auden on her quest in this fun novel.
