Along for the Ride: (Movie Tie-In)

Product Information

Maybe it was true, and being a girl could be about interest rates and skinny jeans, riding bikes and wearing pink.

Her harshness pushes Auden further away, but Maggie and the other girls don't blame Auden for her mother's rudeness. Whether it’s jealousy or actual dislike of Heidi, Auden’s mother is never short of rude comments about her.A daughter of academics and an exemplary student, her mother objects to her wanting to spend time with her father.

She isn’t very comfortable with being out of her element, and only very slowly develops friendships, and starts spending time with a guy, Eli, who has some issues of his own to work through. Auden breaks the friendship between her and Eli because she feels uncomfortable with how different she is becoming.

Given the disservice those covers do to Sarah Dessen’s books, I was thrilled when, at the beginning of the summer, Sarah and Penguin announced that all of her books would have new paperback covers.

When her mom shows up to help, she bikes down to the boardwalk and runs into Eli, who tells her he turned her down to compete in one final BMX contest. Auden stays on the porch and overhears her father say that the only reason he invited Auden was so she can help out with Thisbe.

Similarly, Auden doesn't plan to start working at Heidi's boutique, Clementine's, until she's in Colby and sees how an overwhelmed Heidi is trying to balance the financial side of the business with taking care of her newborn. Gentry and Karson take me on a road trip I didn’t know I needed, and I become the breath of fresh air between two brothers who suffocate beneath waves of animosity. Along for the Ride (2022) follows Auden West, a college-bound teenager who is spending the summer with her father and his new family in Colby, a cozy beach town. The movie starts with Auden being excluded from a tradition at her school where the graduating seniors throw toilet paper off the bell tower.I'm glad to say she gets distracted in the seaside town where her Dad lives and starts to live a little.

Sarah lives in the countryside in North Carolina with her husband, daughter, some lizards and two very spoilt dogs. An absentee dad for years, locking himself away in his office to work on his studies, he has an infant and is remarried to Heidi. She dated Eli's brother, Jake, for most of high school, and they were in a rough patch when Auden came to town and hooked up with Jake on her first night in Colby. One of the first times Auden hangs out with the girls from Clementine's in the book, they go to a house party. Jason Talbot asks her to their senior prom, but blows her off last minute for an ecology conference.Auden rushes to the park in time to watch, and afterwards, takes him aside so they can clear the air. I do wish it had been included more because it was a crucial part of Auden, her mother (Andie MacDowell), and their development both individually and collectively.
