Along for the Ride by: Sarah Dessen

call it amazing, or call it chicken salad..this book was SOO great!!
Along for the Ride had everything i ask for in a book: friends that are real, romance that is sweet and not too gross, family with problems, and a small town to fall in love with and will have you packing up your bags to move there.
the story line for Along for the Ride is that a girl named auden spends the summer with her father and step-mother in colby, a small, beach front town, and life changes drastically for auden when she meets eli, the brooding and handsome retired (or so they think) bmx rider. eli takes auden on a quest to get her childhood back because she never had fun as a child. along the way of their quest (which is all done at night because auden and eli are insomniacs, so they go bowling and to the gas/gro at night) eli's sad heart begins to heal and then........THAT is where i shall stop because i don't want to give anything away.
as i have said about sarah dessen before, i think she is an amazing writer..and i have now read every book that she has ever written! quite the accomplishment?! i know!
but back to sarah dessen; she has this wonderful style of writing that completely immerses you into her little world of characters and for the three or four days that it takes you to read the book, you ARE a part of that world, living and breathing with the people there.
read, enjoy, and LIVE this book.
it will have you talking, laughing, crying, and of course with all of sarah dessen's books..falling in love with the main boy character..
happy reading :)

    It's XoXoBee here, I am so glad you went to my blog!! :D You didn't have to!
    And being a writer eh? That is so awesome!! I actually thought about becoming a writer. I really enjoy writing on my own time. Very relaxing and fun. You get to create people. I wish you goodluck on becoming a writer musings of a mermaid! I know you can do it, if you keep your mind to it! :)
    That is too sweet that you checked out my sisters blog as well, she will be so happy. She felt like no one ever looked at it.(like I do haha) And to get someone else to read it other than me, she would love it! I will totally keep coming back and read what new books you have read. :) I actually ordered a book from the library by Sarah Dessen. Thanks to you :)
    Take care & shoot for your goal,
