Notes:In the summer after her high school graduation, Auden visits her father and his new wife, Heidi, who just had a baby. Auden is a serious student who usually chooses to be alone rather socialize or take chances. But over the course of the summer, the friends she meets coax her out of her shell, especially after she meets Eli, who's dealing with his own demons. They're both insomniacs, and they spend their nights exploring and doing things Auden never did before, like bowling and bike riding. There's a crisis at the end of the summer when her dad leaves Heidi and Auden pulled into herself again, but she works it out and goes the end-of-summer party with Eli. And one of her summer friends becomes her roommate at college.

Review - Along for the Ride

Chick lit. I thought this would be more about exploring the world at night, but it's just about a girlfriends and dating and connected with me at any level.
