More About This Book

Overview

Ever since her parents began fighting, Auden has been unable to sleep at night. Now, spending a summer at a charming beach town with her father and his new family, she has to find new places to pass the time she spends awake. And so she meets Eli, a fellow insomniac who becomes her nighttime guide. Together, they embark on parallel quests: for Auden, to experience the carefree teenage life she has missed; for Eli, to come to terms with the death of a friend. In her trademark blockbuster-style, Sarah Dessen creates a powerful and irresistible story of two people learning how to connect.

Welcome Auden West, a studious good girl about to be sun-kissed…Confiding and dry-witted, Auden's voice is like listening to your best bud while splitting a carton of Haagen-Dazs. Author Sarah Dessen beautifully captures that sense of summer as a golden threshold between past regrets and future unknowns, a time that shimmers with the sweet promise of now.

Meet the Author

Sarah Dessen
Sarah Dessen
Sarah Dessen is the author of several novels for young adults. She lives in North Carolina.

Biography

Although she was born in Illinois, YA novelist Sarah Dessen has spent most of her life in Chapel Hill, NC. Both of her parents were professors at the University of North Carolina, where Sarah studied creative writing and graduated with a degree in English.

As far back as she can remember, Dessen has always wanted to write. She remembers churning out wildly imaginative stories on an old manual typewriter her parents gave her when she was eight or nine years old. So it was only natural that after college she would forego a "real job," choosing instead to support herself by waiting tables at a local eatery while trying to publish a novel. In 1996, just three years after graduation, she sold her first book, the witty, wry coming-of-age story That Summer. A second novel, Someone Like You, followed two years later. (In 2003, these two books were loosely adapted into the movie How to Deal, starring teen sensation Mandy Moore.)

Dessen claims she never set out to be a YA writer, but somehow her memories always bring her back to high school, a time and place that resonates strongly for her. Living in her hometown where she is still in contact with many childhood friends, she finds it pretty easy to get in touch with her "inner teenager." In addition, the books she read from that time have a special, magical staying power. She explains it this way on her website:

"[W]hile I couldn't tell you complete plots of novels I read even six months ago, I do remember even the smallest descriptive details from Lois Lowry's A Summer to Die or Judy Blume's Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. I think it was because back then books were still somewhat new to me, and when I found an author who seemed to say just what I was feeling, it really struck me and resonated. I hope that my books do that for the people who read them."
If one can judge from her growing fan base and continued presence on the bestseller lists, Dessen can safely say "mission accomplished."

Good To Know

Here are some fun facts about Sarah Dessen:

  • Most of Dessen's books are set in the fictional town of Lakeview and feature recurring locales and characters.

  • Dessen also teaches creative writing at her alma mater, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

  • Among her confessed addictions, Dessen counts the Gap clearance rack, Starbucks mochas, multiple magazine subscriptions, and a penchant for black pants.

  • Dessen sometimes waxes nostalgic about her days as a waitress. "It was a great job for a writer, " she says. "Endless conversations to eavesdrop, tons of material, and fast money without ever taking work home."

  • In Just Listen, the character of Owen Armstrong was named for the young protagonist in John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany, as well as for Lance Armstrong, one of Dessen's proclaimed crushes.

  • Concerning her "tendency to embellish," Dessen says: "I think it's just a weakness of fiction writers. Once you learn how to make a story better, it's hard not to do it all the time."

      Here's my problem...

      When I first started reading Sarah Dessen books I thought they were all unique and funny. Lately though, and especially with this new book, I've noticed that all her stories seem to have the same thing happening in them. Girl thinks she has to be perfect. Girl meets mysterious guy who shows her she doesn't have to be perfect. Girl and guy fall for each other. Girl freaks out about relationship, stops talking to guy. Girl does something that makes her view of life change. Girl goes back to guy and they live happily ever after. It's all gotten rather redundant. Sorry Sarah.

      Along For the Ride is definitely my favorite Sarah Dessen book...

      I have never felt more emotion in a book, I was sometimes actually laughing out loud, to being frustrated with the characters.What really broke my heart is what they decided to name the bike shop.I was literally in tears!

      This book teaches us to do go out there and try things we are not used to.And if we don't get it right the first time there is always a second chance and so on.And that we shouldn't miss out on opportunities even though they don't seem like that big of a deal.

      I relate to this character more than I have to any other character, because I have missed out on a lot of adventures myself. From not going to parties or having boyfriends, but what I loved about this character is she couldn't ride and bike and I'm ashamed to admitted it, but I don't know how either!After one scratch on the knee I was done...But maybe I'll give another try, because it's never too late.

      Along For the Ride Review

      "Along for the Ride" by Sarah Dessen is about a girl named Auden who never had a real childhood. She always thought that her parents didn't have time to deal with her. Her mom is focused all on schoolwork, and makes sure that Auden always has the best grades. Her dad only cares about work and himself. The two differences in her parents caused a divorce, which Auden pretends she does not care about. Auden also never had any real friends. This all changes when she goes to visit her dad and his new wife and baby in a small beach town the summer before college. She finds a new job, new friends, and a romance. One of her new friends, Maggie, amazes Auden by how she is completely her own person. Also, Eli, a former bike star who was in an accident, helps Auden get back her childhood and do everything that she never could.
      This book has a very unique story. The characters are realistic and interesting. The setting is beautiful and has a warm feel to it. Also, the book has a specific plot and soulution. Definitely a teenage story. The only problem with this book is that the story line is very prdictable. Even though the story is unique, the reader is never very surprised.
      Tyler

      Ahmazing...

      This book was amazing just as her others are. It's about a girl Auden who is such a academic freak. Her parents divorce and she spends her sleepless nights alone. She then goes to live with her dad for the summer, and surprisingly to her she has a good time and finds new scary yet exciting experiences during her summer. New friends, and feelings. Sarah did it again! I highly recommend this book to all of you who like a good teen/YA novel. I actually recommend all of her books!! Especially "Just Listen", "Lock and Key", and "This Lullaby".

      Omg--definitely worth reading!!!

      Sarah Dessen is definitely my ALL TIME favorite author. This is definitely one of her best books yet. I just plain loved it. Don't stop reading it after the first two or three chapters. Just like every other Sarah Dessen book, it takes a while to get into it. But once you do, it's amazing. I totally loved it, staying out late with a guy you secretly like and running stupid errands, and doing stuff that you didn't get to do when you were a kid. Plus, finally finding some good girl friends to talk and hang out with. Oh my gosh, the end kept me on my seat the whole time wondering and wondering until i finally finished the book. Amazing. If you haven't yet, read this book. It will all be worth it in the end, I promise.

      I love Sarah Dessen. Ever since The Truth About Forever, I have loved her. I was not thrilled with Lock & Key but was amazed once again with Along for the Ride. I love how she intertwines her other stories without confusing anyone who hasn't read them. These characters are not only realistic, but relatable. I could not put this book down! It's a definite must-read.

      My opinion....

      I love Sarah Dessen, I think she is an amazing author. I love that you can always count on her for a happy ending and a small twist. I agree that her books have similar plots... but I think thats her signature. Taking a girl who doesnt really know who she is and finding herself through love. I like that the relationships in her books arent perfect but it makes it more believeable. I, personally love Sarah Dessen and this book was probably one of my favorites from her. Well, besides The Truth About Forever.

      A Great Summer Read

      Riding a bike is only one of the many things Auden's missed out on. Even before her parents divorce, she was cast in the role of little adult, never making waves, focusing on academics to please her demanding mother. Now she's spending the summer before college in the tiny town of Colby with her father and his new wife and baby. A job at the town's trendiest boutique gets Auden in touch with all the gossip. She feels out of place and lonely, especially at night when she hangs around at the local diner and convenience store. Then Auden meets Eli. During the time they spend together they embark on a quest. A quest to save Auden's childhood.

      THE BEST SARAH DESSEN BOOK SO FAR!!!

      Ok before i give a summary of the book i have to say that i have read all of Sarah Dessen and this is THE BEST so far and thats saying a lot considering the fact that ALL her books ARE WONDERFUL!!!

      Any way you will instantly fall in love with this book i know i did! The characters were sooo intresting!!! I loved Eli's and Auden's characters and all the rest of the Colby gang like Adam, Maggie, Wallace, and Leah!!! And even thought his seems like a seriosu book its not its actually really funny, light, and in nooo way depressing.

      BEWARE SPOILERS ALERT!!!

      Along for the ride starts out as Auden the main character explains her life. Auden is very smart and she hasnt ever had much of a social life or a child hood due to the fact that her mother moves her to a different school every tiem she thinks her gardes are suffering. And to her mother suffering is gettin a B. Auden is 18 and has just graduated from high school, she lives with her mother. Her parents are divorced and her father has remarried and his wife, Heidi, is pregnanta and about the give birth to Auden's little half sister Thisby. Audens older brotehr Hollis, has been in Euroupe for the last 3 years just exploring and partying and baisically blowing off everything else. Auden plans on spending this summer like every other one studying for her next year of education.

      So when Auden gets an email from her step-mother Heidi to come and visit her father and half sister thisby in the small beautiful town of Colby she doenst think twice before saying no. But then Auden realzies this is just what she needs so she changes her mind and heads down to Colby. When she gets there she finds her step-mother extremley stresed out and tired from caring for Thisby. Which is very off for Heidi who is normally very stylish, organized, cheerful, and kind. So Auden takes a job at the store Heidi owns Clementines were very fashinoble cloths are sold.

      And during her first week in Colbys Auden meets Maggie a kind smart girl who like herslelf is going to Defriese college in the fall. But she at 1st does not get along with but later on becomes very good friends with along with maggies two best friends Leah and Ester. Auden also meets alll the guys who are her age who work at the bike shop across from Clementines and they are all total bike pros they are knwon for being great riders. There she meets Adam a nocefunny boy, Wallace Adam's best friends also a nice and humerous boy, Jake Stock a total jerk, and finally Eli Stock jakes older brother who has a tragic story.

      Eli is the manager at the bike shop and he lost his best friend Abe a fellow biker they had been inseperable friends since kindergarden but the year before when Eli and Abe were coming back from a biking gig a drunk driver hits there car and Abe is killed and Eli feels responsible because he was driving. So now Eli is who use to be funny, socail, and popular is npwanti social no loner talks to anyone ane baisically keeps to himself. But that all changes when he meets Auden one night as they both have a nocturnel habit they get talking and Eli decides to go on what he calls a "quest" for Auden to live the child hood she dint get so every night they go out on the a quest that ranges from bowling to a paper route. And ELi starts to get over Abe's death thanks to Auden

      Sarah Dessen is love

      The book Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen reminds me why I love the wonderful Sarah Dessen. True it's the same "formula" but it's the "elements" added that make Along for the Ride great. Okay fine the heroine's in her stories always have a problem and they discover their solution in some way towards the end but the problems differ entirely. None of her stories are the same. Her way of writing engages you into the story and its characters
      With Auden I find myself feeling like I know her and have been her. There is this naive or an almost childlike feeling to Auden that makes me relate to her, she's new to everything so to say. But give her a book to read or an essay to write and she can do those kinds of things. Academics define Auden. She never really related to girls her age, never had any real friends, but that all changes the summer she decided to stay with her father, his new wife, and newborn sister.
      Personally I think that the reason she "recycles" characters is because it's kind of an Easter egg for the long time readers. But if you're new to her stories then you don't miss anything. Also the message isn't only that you can't judge someone by their appearance. But something much more than that, such as if you're given a second chance then do something and don't let that chance pass by we shouldn't take them for granted. And secondly that people don't always stay the same but do in fact change; not always but there are those rare occasions. Auden learns this in one summer that will be known to her as: "The Best of Times."

      One of the best books!

      Sarah Dessen is an amazing author! I've only read one other book by her and I loved it! Then after reading this book, I thought they tied. I love how I could imagine myself as the main character. Sarah Dessen makes you feel like your actually there as the character. Also, you can smell all of the smells and hear all of the sounds! They only bad thing about this book is that they haven't made a movie. I hope the make a movie. If you are a girl looking for a good summer romance book, this is a great choice. Buy it, check it out at a library, or borrow it from a friend... But you don't want to miss out on all the fun adventures you get to go through in this story! Get it!!!!!!

      Another Ride

      First thing first: I love Sarah Dessen. She is a remarkable YA author, and writes with a distinct style and her books have substance. More than I can say for some other YA writer's out there. (I do NOT have a specific vampire novelist in mind...)

      Anyway, Sarah Dessen is dependable. Her work is always something I can come back to after a literary dry spell. That being said, this book in particular wasn't my favorite. I had a feeling it wasn't going to be, which is why I was in no rush to read it. I waited for it to come to me...and then it was time.

      It's about Auden, a girl having the summer of her life before going off to college in the fall. Auden is a studious girl, her parents always have valued academics over fun, so much that Auden never got the childhood she deserved. While she is staying with her father's new wife and baby for the summer in a quiet beach town, she meets Eli-- a fellow insomniac and a former BMX-er (yes, that's a word) with some issued. Together, they just might be what the other one needs.

      The characters, with the exception of Eli, were awesome. It has always amazed me how Sarah can give each character such a specific personality. They are complex, flawed, likable, and fun. And they all have their issues. But then there was Eli....him and me just never hit it off, okay? Auden was a little predictable, but hey, aren't they all? (Props for using a quote from the book)

      The writing was good. There were many moments of what I call "quotable material". Although sometimes, Auden's thoughts would jump from the past to the present, and the transistion wasn't always smooth. One moment she will be working, the next spent with Eli, then it will go back to her working. My easily-confused brain took a while to figure that out.

      But *sigh* the plot....Sarah, can't we spice it up a little? This is coming from a long-devoted fan. Sure, this book is awesome to a girl who hasn't read the same thing five times before, but that's not me. I'm sure if you read more than one Sarah Dessen book, you know the formula. Girl with personal issues does something out of character, leading to new experiences, new quirky friends, and of course, a sweet sensitive guy with issues of his own. She grows and develops as a person for while until something bad happens that sends her back into her little hole. Then she reaches some epiphany and everything is all happy again.

      One thing I loved was all the little Easter eggs hidden through-out. We get returning characters from Keeping the Moon and The Truth about Forever, which are my two favorites. I love cameo appearances. They make my soul happy.

      Anyway, did I like it? Yes, I did become absorbed. Was it my favorite? No. Oh and I have a rating clarification. I would give it 3.5 stars if it was possible. It feels like more than a three, but giving it a four seemed too misleading.

      So Good!

      Yet another winner. If you're not reading Sarah Dessen you should be. Every single one of her books has insanely relatable characters, whether you've been where they are in their lives or not. This story does not disappoint, Auden's struggles with family, friends, and boys are totally relateable if you've ever been a teen girl. As someone who doesn't sleep much, reading this book was like an entrance into a world of the unknown, and totally inspired me to go out there and discover the hidden late night adventures my own town has to offer. Unfortunately I discovered that there isn't much of one, but reading this book totally makes you want to discover the things that go on after hours, while everyone's asleep. Auden is my favorite Sarah Dessen character, I totally related to everything that she went to and I think that pretty much everyone else would too.

      My first Dessen novel...pretty good!

      I enjoyed this book. I didn't really know what to expect since it was my first Sarah Dessen book. Auden and Eli were a great contrast and made for an interesting romance. I found myself annoyed with Auden a little for being so stand offish to everyone but I guess that was part of her character flaws she was meant to overcome. I think that I will pick up another Dessen book soon..maybe "Just listen".
