Sarah Dessen is one of the best young adult authors out there; with each of her books relaying similar themes but coming out unique, heartbreaking and wonderful every time. Along for the Ride is no exception; we follow recently-graduated Auden, who decides to treat herself to one carefree summer before her college life begins. She stays with her father and stepmother in the beach town of Colby. An academic insomniac with near no social life, it takes a few new friends to break Auden out of her shell, including the quiet but exciting Eli, a local with a traumatic past. To sum this read up; adorable romance, lots of firsts for Auden, and the perfect beach read for young adult readers and older. — Kirstin Swartz
