Win a Copy of Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen!

Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen (June 16, 2009)


- Contest is now closed! Thanks to all who entered! -


It’s been so long since Auden slept at night. Ever since her parents’ divorce—or since the fighting started. Now she has the chance to spend a carefree summer with her dad and his new family in the charming beach town where they live.



A job in a clothes boutique introduces Auden to the world of girls: their talk, their friendship, their crushes. She missed out on all that, too busy being the perfect daughter to her demanding mother. Then she meets Eli, an intriguing loner and a fellow insomniac who becomes her guide to the nocturnal world of the town. Together they embark on parallel quests: for Auden, to experience the carefree teenage life she’s been denied; for Eli, to come to terms with the guilt he feels for the death of a friend.


For your chance to win a copy please leave a comment with your name and email address. No email address, no entry!

For extra entries:

+1 for becoming a follower or already a follower

+1 for each place you link the contest to (blog, myspace, facebook, etc). That means you can have however many entries you want by spreading the word. Please leave the link(s) of each place that you posted.

+1 if you tell me your favorite Sarah Dessen character crush. Mine is Dexter.

The contest is only open to US & Canada Residents and will end June 15th at midnight (central time).

Don't forget to check back next month for Sarah Dessen Extravaganza!

I'm so excited about her new book. My Dessen crush is a definate tie between Dexter (for being so adorkably amazing) and Owen (for being a badboy who falls in love... and for inspiring me to begin my own form of enlightenment). Wes is number three because it's just so hard not to love him. Lol.

I can't wait to read this one! My crush is on Owen, because I thought he was so funny and I loved his passion for music-he appealed to my inner high schooler.
