Available on Netflix today, the 6th of May, is a new romantic drama called Along for the Ride based on the novel of the same name written by the New York Times best-selling author Sarah Dessen. A movie about a summer romance, Along for the Ride follows 2 teenagers before they go off to college. Auden, portrayed by Emma Pasarow, is an insomniac who meets another mysterious insomniac Eli, played by Belmont Cameli. In a seaside town named Colby, the two embark on a journey to help carefree Auden experience adventures that she never knew she needed.
The movie, although based on a novel, is written by Sofia Alvarez, the infamous writer of the To All the Boys trilogy. Just like her previous films, Along for the Ride received positive reviews from critics as well. Critics are usually concluding that the movie is a thoroughly enjoyable rom-com and that it has a genuine and warm charm. Of course, this is probably also owed to the Along for the Ride cast members who brought the book character to life.
