Ever since her parents began fighting, Auden has been unable to sleep at night. Now, spending a summer at a charming beach town with her father and his new family, she has to find new places to pass the time she spends awake. And so she meets Eli, a fellow insomniac who becomes her nighttime guide. Together, they embark on parallel quests: for Auden, to experience the carefree teenage life she has missed; for Eli, to come to terms with the death of a friend. In her trademark blockbuster-style, Sarah Dessen creates a powerful and irresistible story of two people learning how to connect.

    Along for the Ride took me by surprise. I usually do not read books like Sarah Dessen's because I don't typically like books written for the sake of romance only. I tend to need grit & action & something wi... more

    Despite the fact that this book followed the same formula as the rest of the Sarah Dessen books that I have read, I liked it. Auden is an interesting character, and her relationship with the world is enlightening. ... more

    I'd love to know what Sarah Dessen puts into her books to make them so addictive. Perhaps it's the warm-fuzzies her romances cause, the real people (as I've discussed before), or her character's cameos in other bo... more
