Along for the Ride is a story about second chances. Family problems, boy meets girl and then a happily ever after. Typical, but no worries, because Sarah Dessen has got a way of story telling that will surely make you fall in love. All the characters were interesting and each of them has their own p...

I’m slowly working my way through Sarah Dessen’s books, and I’ve luckily enjoyed them all, including Along for the Ride, my fourth experience with her writing. I had some problems at the beginning that made it impossible for me to give this book a higher rating, but I think the characters grew past ...

Cute story. I liked the characters. The adults drove me nuts through most of the story but they seemed to turn around in the end. Very nice end of summer read.

So, I liked this book. I liked it because it's Sarah Dessen and there is always something about her books I like even if I see many faults in the story/characters.

I'm finding that Dessen's books have a strong mother/daughter conflict theme. It seems appropriate, considering that it's such a universal experience for teenaged girls.

After reading with a paranormal/sci-fi twist in the past 2 and a half days, reading something "realistic", something closer to real life felt extremely refreshing. I have been a fan of Sarah Dessen after reading 'The Truth About Forever' during my exchange student year in 2007/08, so I was super exc...

4 stars. Not good as The Truth About Forever, but can a contemporary ever compare? Along For the Ride was a perfect, perfect summer read (or even a spring one!) and I definitely enjoyed it.

What a sweet book! I was expecting something fluffier, but this book really made me think. I will definitely be reading more Sarah Dessen in the future.
