As soon as filmmaker Sofia Alvarez read the Sarah Dessen novel “Along for the Ride,” she immediately envisioned a movie adaptation.
“I really grew up loving those summer teen movies where you could feel the weather or like you could feel the air conditioning was too cold,” Alvarez told TheWrap during an interview about her film adaptation, which she wrote and directed. “You could feel the humidity and smell the sunscreen through the screen and I just thought ‘Along for the Ride’ has the potential to be one of those summer movies.’”
“Along for the Ride” tells the story of Auden West (who is played in the film by Emma Pasarow), who is one summer away from heading to Defriese University. Auden’s parents split up when she was younger, and she lived with her mom (Andie MacDowell) through high school, but for the summer she decides to visit Colby,...

In the new Netflix feature film adaptation of “Along for the Ride,” based on the novel by author Sarah Dessen, stars Emma Pasarow and Belmont Cameli fell into a pretty natural rhythm of acting out their characters’ budding relationship. But one thing the actor and actress were not on the same page about was the food fight scene.
When Auden (Pasarow) meets Eli (Cameli), he proposes a quest of daring activities to Auden — especially things she’s never tried before — and one of the items on her list includes starting a food fight. Fast forward quite a bit, and Auden’s wish comes true, with a fun story behind the filming of the scene.
“The food fight was absolutely insane. We shot until the sun rose in the morning. For continuity purposes, for timing restrictions, we could only do one take of [Belmont] pouring the beans on my head,” Pasarow said...

For a certain subset of younger readers, bestselling author Sarah Dessen’s books — mostly sweet teen romances about nice kids working out their problems and falling in love in the process, typically set in and around Dessen’s adopted home state of North Carolina — are must-reads. For nearly three decades, Dessen has been churning out her novels to, if not always strong acclaim, at least good sales and a dedicated fanbase.
And yet, until Netflix picked up options for a trio of Dessen’s books back in 2019, the author’s back catalog of inoffensive charmers scarcely got the movie treatment. Back in 2003, two of her books were turned into the Mandy Moore vehicle “How to Deal,” but it’s taken almost two decades for Dessen to get another crack at the screen. Netflix, which has given new life to the exact kind of fare Dessen writes — from the darling to...

Fans of “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before,” beware. “Along for the Ride,” a new young adult film from writer-director Sofia Alvarez, is arriving on Netflix May 6, and the book-to-screen adaptation is one that definitely calls for a box of tissues.
The film stars Emma Pasarow as Auden, a recent high school graduate who is spending the summer visiting her dad and stepmom in the beach town of Colby, where she knows no one and is still dealing with the fallout from her parents’ divorce. She quickly makes a deep connection with Eli (Belmont Cameli), a fellow insomniac who shows Auden the joy she’s missing in her life on nightly escapades. And although she has a rough start making friends with the other girls in town — a pre-existing trio by the names of Leah (Genevieve Hannelius), Esther (Samia Finnerty) and Maggie (Laura Kariuki) — they eventually bond after putting...

Long-running indie duo Beach House — who released the sprawling 18-song double album, ‘Once Twice Melody,’ just a few weeks ago — are making their film-scoring debut with Netflix’s “Along for the Ride,” which is described in the announcement as “a sweet summer film based on the popular YA book by New York Times bestselling author Sarah Dessen.” The film arrives on Netflix on Friday.
Written and directed by Sofia Alvarez (who wrote the screenplay for both “To All the Boys I’ve Love Before” and its sequel), “Along for the Ride” tells the story of Auden (Emma Pasarow), who’s decided to spend her last summer before college in picturesque Colby Beach, according to the synopsis. While other teens party in the sun, loner Auden spends her time roaming the streets after everyone else is asleep.

Netflix is adapting Sarah Dessen's New York Times bestseller "Along For the Ride." Starring Emma Pasarow and Belmont Cameli, the Sofia Alvarez-directed film centers around Pasarow's character, Auden, who meets the mysterious Eli (Cameli) the summer before going off to college. The two quickly form a bond through their shared insomnia, exploring the town of Colby under the cover of night.
"The book is a story about love; it's about friendship; it's about family; it's about discovering yourself at the beach; it's about trying new things and going on a quest," Pasarow tells Popsugar. "The movie is all of those things plus the most incredible soundtrack ever and score by Beach House."
Both Pasarow and Cameli instantly felt a connection to their respective characters when they first read their scripts. "Auden is extremely smart. She's independent, she's strong, she has a big heart, and most importantly, she's very...

If you fell head over heels for Netflix's sweet adaptation of Jenny Han's young-adult novel "To All the Boys I've Loved Before," then you should brace yourself for this exciting news: three of bestselling author Sarah Dessen's novels are also being turned into film adaptations by the streamer!
In 2019, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Netflix has chosen to adapt "This Lullaby," "Once and For All," and "Along For the Ride," which will be the first of the bunch to become a movie. The news follows the success of other YA book-to-movie adaptations, like "Dumplin'," "The Kissing Booth," and "To All the Boys I've Loved Before," so it makes total sense that Netflix would expand its roster of upcoming YA-focused films.
