Beginning of Along for the Ride

So I started the next book in our YA book club venture: Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen.  Already, the book as a softer feel than the last one, which was the intent of the group.  I'm looking forward to getting to the romance part of the book. 

I've always been a sucker for teen love with it's simplistic, dramatic ways.  It's an oxymoron I know, teen love being both simple and dramatic.  It's the teenager way to make things more dramatic then they really are.  At least I know I did when I was a teenager. 

Young love has it's own magic element to it and I've always like seeing it come to life in books.
