Along for the Ride: Connection to Movies

There are many ways to connect the novel Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen, to certain movies. This novel, reminds me of a movie I saw called How To Deal. This movie was based on other Sarah Dessen novels, but they were two books blended together into one movie. Those books had two different story lines but in the movie were combined into one. The movie How to Deal and the books remind me a lot of the current book I am reading now because this novel and the other novels by Sarah Dessen including the movie that was made, have very similar story lines and the novels are in general just very similar to each other in many different ways.
