Summer is the perfect time for catching up on reading whether you’re at the beach or needing to take your mind off of things in your crazy, hectic, busy lifestyle. With that being said, here are five perfect young adult novels that will do just that on those long summer days.
- Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen
Summer reading wouldn’t be complete without one of Sarah Dessen’s summertime-set novels, one of them being Along for the Ride. In Along for the Ride, YA queen novelist, Sarah Dessen introduces us to insomniac, Auden who has taken up the opportunity to spend the summer after her parents’ divorce with her father and his new family in the quiet, small beach town of Colby where they live. She soon finds herself unexpectedly getting a second chance on things that she missed out on during her childhood with the help of some new friends and maybe even with the help of fellow loner and insomniac, Eli. Soon, Auden realizes that being the perfect daughter to her mother caused her to miss out on the normalcy of a carefree teenage life and that it still is not too late to experience it.
