Welcome to Colby! For early 2000s Young Adult readers, Sarah Dessen novels — including 2009’s Along for the Ride — were a rite of passage.
Netflix and a slew of high-profile actors have since teamed up to adapt the story into a feature-length film.“I am SO HAPPY to let you all know that Along for the Ride is going to be a Netflix film,” Dessen wrote via her official website in April 2021. “And — deep breath — they are going to film right here in [North Carolina].
I am so excited. And speechless. And yet still babbling, somehow. … And now I have to go breathe into a paper bag for a moment because this is all a bit Too Much.”The streaming platform announced at the time that Sofia Alvarez, who helmed the To All the Boys trilogy — also based on YA books — would adapt and direct a movie inspired by Dessen’s novel. (This is Netflix’s first adaptation of one of Dessen’s works, and they also optioned her books This Lullaby, Once and For All and The Truth About Forever, though further details have yet to be revealed.)Dessen’s That Summer and Someone Like You previously inspired Mandy Moore’s How to Deal in 2003.Along for the Ride follows teenager Auden West (Emma Pasarow), who spends her last summer before college with her father (Dermot Mulroney), his new wife (Kate Bosworth) and their infant in the sleepy beach town of Colby.
