Book description
June 12th
You know how sometimes you just need a book that feels like a warm blanket on a quiet night? Like the one where you lean back, close your eyes, and the words just... settle into your bones? That's exactly what Along for the Ride did for me listening to the audiobook. Sarah Dessen's words, delivered with such gentle, knowing warmth by the narrator, made the whole summer of Auden's life feel like it was happening just for me, right there in my headphones.
I've been listening on my evening walks, and the beach town of Colby just breathed through the audio. You could hear the salt in the air, the distant crash of waves, even the soft shush of the boutique's cash register as Auden got her first real job. But it wasn't just the setting - it was Auden herself. Her insomnia, that constant, restless ache after her parents split, felt so real listening to the quiet moments in her voice. You could hear her missing out on the easy friendships, the careless laughter of other girls, the way she'd been too busy being "perfect" for her mom to ever just... be a kid.
Then there's Eli. Oh, Eli. That voice in the audiobook - calm, a little guarded, but so present - made him feel like a real person you'd meet on a moonlit pier. His quiet way of guiding Auden through the town's secret corners, his own quiet guilt about a friend's death... it wasn't just a love story. It was two people, both carrying heavy things, learning how to let someone else share the weight. The way Dessen writes their connection - the shared insomnia, the late-night talks, the slow, careful trust - it's pure magic in audio form. You don't just read it; you feel the quiet understanding between them.
What I loved most? The way the audiobook made the small moments feel huge. Not just the big romantic gestures, but the way Auden finally laughs with a friend over a silly mistake at work, or how Eli just... sees her when she's trying to be invisible. It's about learning to connect, not just to someone else, but to yourself after everything breaks. Dessen doesn't rush it; she lets the quiet moments breathe, and the audiobook narrator gives them space to sink in. You're not just hearing the story; you're living inside Auden's tired, hopeful heart, feeling that slow, beautiful shift from loneliness to belonging.
It's been weeks since I finished the audiobook, but I still catch myself smiling when I think of Auden finding her place, Eli finding his peace. It's a story that doesn't just tell you about healing - it makes you feel it, one quiet, perfect word at a time. If you're looking for a summer that feels real, a friendship that matters, and a voice that understands loneliness like no other? This is the one. You'll be listening long after the last chapter.
