A review by ellianamaselli
Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen
3.0
This was fine.
I really enjoy the atmosphere is Sarah Dessen's novels. Her books are always perfect for an easy summer read and this one was no different. I loved her exploration of womanhood, workaholism, and grief. It was honestly refreshing.
However, the ending felt rushed and the romance's resolution seemed thrown together. After a couple hundred pages of waiting for the climax, you want something that feels satisfying. And this just didn't.
Will I read more Sarah Dessen books in the future? Absolutely—she is The Author of Summery Contemporaries. Will any of her books ever make my top ten, though? Probably not. And that's OK.
