LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! What an awesome book! Just what I needed after having my heart broken from my last book. I loved everything about this story. I loved Eli like nothing else. Auden was the perfect MC! The supporting characters were just as awesomesauce. My first Sarah Dessen book and I can say, I'm in love. I need to get all her books now.

I absolutely adored this book from the first page. I can't believe I haven't explored Sarah Dessen before. I've seen her books everywhere in the bookstore and yet I'd bypass them. Why?? I'm kicking myself, wondering what the heck I was thinking. I'm so happy I read this book. I just loved everything about Along for the Ride. My perfect happy kinda story. It has all the elements that make a great story-humor, friendship, first time love, self-discovery and so much more.

I loved Auden. She was a great MC with a sweet voice. I loved going on the adventure with her and discovering everything she missed as a teenager, well she's still a teen, but now she's about to go to college. She didn't have a normal childhood. Her parents got divorced and she had to listen to them every night yelling and fighting. She eventually would go out so she didn't have to hear it anymore. And eventually, she became a night owl-like me- so once she graduated high school, the summer before college, she spent that time at her dad's house with his wife and newborn babygirl. She made new friends and finally had a social life. Then she meets Eli.

I loved Eli. He was something special. He's also a biker...and very sexy and amazing. I loved him and how he was able to confide in Auden. They became fast friends-both lonely, and him escaping a tragic past- they really had wonderful chemistry. He showed her around town and she brought him back out of his shell and gave him life again, after losing his best friend in an accident. His friends, who Auden became friends with too, were so happy that someone was able to pull him back to earth and live. It was awesome to see them together, every night shopping and hanging out until the sun came out. It was so much fun. I loved her stepmom, Heidi. Her dad was kind of selfish and jerky. But eventually he was okay. I didn't like her mom so much. But even she changed.
This book was just awesome. Perfect. Wonderful. And it's safe to say, I'm a Sarah Dessen fan. I'll be reading all her books in the near future. I definitely recommend this book! ...more
