#ReadADessen Review: Along for the Ride

It’s been so long since Auden slept at night. Ever since her parents’ divorce—or since the fighting started. Now she has the chance to spend a carefree summer with her dad and his new family in the charming beach town where they live. A job in a clothes boutique introduces Auden to the world of girls: their talk, their friendship, their crushes. She missed out on all that, too busy being the perfect daughter to her demanding mother. Then she meets Eli, an intriguing loner and a fellow insomniac who becomes her guide to the nocturnal world of the town. Together they embark on parallel quests: for Auden, to experience the carefree teenage life she’s been denied; for Eli, to come to terms with the guilt he feels for the death of a friend. In her signature pitch-perfect style, Sarah Dessen explores the hearts of two lonely people learning to connect. 

The first time i read Along for the Ride I was in high school.  Now that I am an adult and am re-reading this book I am seeing it in a much different light. When I was younger I never realized how toxic Auden’s mother and father were. While I was reading this i was kind of shocked to see how toxic her parents were because i did not remember seeing them in such a negative light. As someone who has dealt with toxic family members in their life, I understand the struggle one goes through while coming to terms with the fact that someone you love is toxic to you and you don’t want to let that person go because you do love them and care about them. Auden deals with her parents toxicity gracefully as she learns who she is.

This book is all about change and if people can change. At the beginning of the story we see Auden as a young woman who doesn’t really know who she is. She does her best to please her parents and she does the best in school so that they will notice her.  As the story progresses we see Auden come out of her shell, and learn who she is as well as who she wants to be. The journey Auden goes through is something most young women can relate to. In this book we also see how the people around Auden change, it is nice that we can see the changes her parents go through as she grows as a person.

Although this is not my favorite Sarah Dessen book this is most definitely in my top 5 favorites.This book is perfect for any woman who has had any type of family issue or has simply experienced change in their life.

Good Morning, Bookworms!! --- I wanted to take a moment this morning to share my progress on my *Sarah Dessen Readathon*!! --- For those of you that don't already know, I started my *Sarah Dessen Readathon* a few weeks ago, with a plan to read ALL of Sarah's books before her newest, *Once and For All* is released in June. Some of her books I have read before, and some are new-to-me reads, but I'm reading ALL her books before the newest release. 😊 --- So far I've read 5 of her books: 🌼 That Summer 🌼 Someone Like You 🌼 Keeping the Moon 🌼 Dreamland 🌼 This Lullaby --- My read for this week is *The Truth About Forever*, which I first read last year and LOVED, and I can't wait to read it again. --- Wish me luck on reading the rest of her books!! My TBR for May is insane, but I'm hoping I can stay caught up on everything. 🤓 --- You can see my thoughts for all the books pictured above on my blog!! {Link in Bio} --- 🌼 What's your most favorite Sarah Dessen book?? --- #sarahdessen #readadessen #bookstack #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagramfeature #yabooks #yareads #currentlyreading #nowreading
