QUESTIONS AND WONDERINGS: Along for the Ride

    I have recently been wondering what is going on between Auden and Jake. And I was also wondering if Auden was really into him, or if she was into someone else. I was wondering this because this summer Auden's relationship had been very bleak. 

   One day after work Auden, and Maggie went off to the coffee shop, and when Auden walked inside she had saw Jake. It was really weird when she and Maggie saw him, because of the history. Maggie and Auden had both went out with Jake, but Maggie actually dated him. Auden also did not tell Maggie about this because things were going so well for them as friends, so Auden never told her. 

    The reason Jake and Auden ended things very soon, was because later on after Auden spent some more time with her friends she found out that Jake was Maggie's ex, and their were complications between them, and that's just a small reason why Auden ended it, but the main reason was because Auden had been having feelings for someone else. The someone else happens to be Jake's older brother. 

     After Auden was done with Jake she felt relieved, she really did find much pleasure in him, but she did in Jake's brother, because he was very intelligent, cute, and he was mature as well. Auden never really had a crush on a guy because she never really pictured herself dating anyone, at least not until college. Since Auden is going to college next year she thought it was as good as any time to start doing trial dates, but the only problem was that Auden couldn't date because Jake's brother was on her mind 24/7.

     So after I was done reading I did get my questions and wondering answered. There is nothing going on between Jake and Auden anymore, and Auden wasn't really that into Jake she only went out with him to a party because he was cute, and he seemed very charming, but soon she found out he was just an immature teenager. Auden is actually into someone else, she is into Jake's brother. So overall I got all my questions and wonderings for this week answered.

THE STORY IS GETTING JUICY..... :D 

QUESTIONS and WONDERINGS: ALONG FOR THE RIDE by Sarah Dessen

Along for the ride by Sarah Dessen

       As I read Along for the Ride, I was recently wondering how things are going to work out between Auden and the three girls, Maggie, Leah, and Esther. And I was questioning if they were evening able to become friends, because in the past at school they rarely even talked, and they Auden wasn't exactly the type of person who really wanted to make friends.

         Auden was becoming closer to Maggie, and the other girls, because she was able to see them everyday. And before in high school Auden never really took the time to get to know them, or know how they are as a person. But day by day as Auden was around them now in the summer, she was able to connect with them, and actually get to know them and see what great friends they are. Auden and the other girls had a bunch of dance parties at work, and went out for coffee a couple of times. And as time went on Auden was able to have real friends to hangout with. Auden was getting more excited at the outcome of what the job brought her, and how it helped her become more open, and friendly.

        My question, and wondering was answered. I found out that Auden and the other girls, grew a close friendly relationship, and they actually talked, and hung out more. So my wondering was answered, Auden was able to make friends, even though she never really talked to them before at high school. I also got another question answered. Which was whether or not this new summer job is helping Auden out, and making her have a better summer, and actually let become more fun and loose and become more open. And yes this did happen, this summer job helped Auden come out and actually hangout this summer, with other friends, 

QUESTIONS & WONDERING (ALONG for the Ride)

   ALONG for the RIDE by Sarah Dessen

     I have recently been wondering why Auden was very cautious when she was around Eli.

As I was reading, it seems as if to me. That Auden was distanced from Eli. So as I read more of the story I began to get my question, and wondering answered. 

      So I found out why Auden was distant from Eli, it was because Eli was Jake's brother. And Maggie, Leah, Esther, and herself all found Jake annoying. And so when they met Jake's older brother Eli, they instantly assumed he was the same way, but as Auden observed everyone better, Auden realized that Eli is more mature.

     Auden wasn't actually being very distant she was just shy, because Auden had actually just developed a little crush on Eli, but since he is Jake's older brother she wasn't sure how to act. 

     I am now no longer wondering what the fuse between Auden, and Eli is, because now I know more details about everyone's connections. Of whose friends with who, and who is related to who. 

Which is actually good to know, because when new characters enter in the middle of the story it is hard to keep up with them and their life, while still trying to focus on the main characters life. But overall I picked up on a lot of new information in the story as I read. 

QUESTIONS AND WONDERING (Along for the Ride) :

BOOK: Along for the ride by Sarah Dessen

     I have recently been wondering if Auden was going to do anything fun this summer. Because now that the school year is over, Auden is on summer break. Auden has not yet done anything fun or interesting other than hanging out at home. So I had been recently wondering if Auden was going to actually have a productive, but still fun summer. As I read I found out that Auden was really into books, and she was good at organizing them. One night while Auden was at home Heidi needed help organizing the books on the shelf in the house, and when Auden helped her, Heidi was surprised at how well organize she did the books. Heidi also has her own store that she runs, and she sell books, and sunglasses, and many other small necessity items. Auden knew that she had a store but Auden didn't know that Heidi needed any help, and was even offering a job. Until Heidi actually offered her a job and told her she needed help. When Auden was offered the job she was going to say no because this summer Auden wanted to do some fun things, and her idea of fun wasn't really working a job. But Heidi explained to Auden that she would get a good pay, and that the times are very flexible, and Heidi also added that she needed a lot more help organizing the books since she is busy with her baby.
 
   Auden was going to say no, but she knew that Heidi could use a little help, and plus Auden needed some money since she's going to be starting school again. Because Auden had no way of making any money to help out with school for next year. Plus Auden wasn't really busy.

   So I got my questions and wondering answered, and it seems that Auden is going to be starting a job this summer, but she still will have fun this summer because the work time is flexible. Also when Auden went in on her first day there, she met the other few people she will be working with, and they all are girls from her class. Auden was never really friends with them or anyone for that matter in high school, but it seems that since she is hanging out with the other few girls, and Maggie as well who works there too, she is having a little more fun this summer, and is loosing up a bit. So overall I think Auden taking this summer job so far is a good idea.
