The book Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen, is about a girl trying to find her way. The story takes place in a beach town called Colby, with the main character being Auden.

So Eli helps Auden do her "quest" witch were things you would do in your childhood like riding a bike. What will happen with Eli and Auden will she end but going Along for the Ride.
I finished this book, a month ago. It is my favorite book, by the detail from the author and the feeling you get from each character. The story is packed with emotion, and a unique romance. The theme of the story was no matter what you do in life, you can always change it. It only takes you wanting to change your life. So I recommend this book to any teenage girl who wants a good Summer read.
