## Resource

Brenna and Joe return to the world of Sarah Dessen to discuss 2009's Along For The Ride . There are no surprises here: it's all predictable conventions and tropes...and we don't care *at all* thanks to Dessen's fantastic writing and characterizations. Plus: possibly the worst parents we've ever seen; internalized misogyny; and issues with the title and cover art. Wanna connect with the show?
