2009 book 138

Sarah Dessen's Along for the Ride
It's a measure of what a reliably good writer Dessen is that I was totally into this book, even though it has a lot of bikes in it (I have a longstanding antipathy toward bikes). Anyway, one of her very likable protagonists spends the summer before college with her dad, stepmom, and new baby sister and learns lessons about family and friendship and of course meets a troubled but sweet love interest. Only it's all really good and steers away from cliches, b/c it's Dessen. A.
