Riding Through the Pages

Rebecca...still difficult to read; enough said.

Currently absorbed in Along for the Ride.

Auden continues her conflict with her dad, and I still want to reach through this book and give her dad a little talkin' to. Aside from that I'm happy to read/see Auden making friends, even though the friendship is not what I had expected to form between Auden and Leah, Esther, and Maggie. In the beginning of their "friendship" Maggie had been nothing but nice to Auden until Maggie found out that her ex-boy toy was flirting and suddenly interested in Auden. Auden, already socially awkward, being new to the town, and being just a visitor for the summer, has no intention of having a relationship with the ex-boy toy, Jake, or of getting on anyone's bad side, aka Maggie. But, Auden starts working at her father's wife's store, Auden is forced to face Maggie everyday, where eventually a friendship is formed between her, Maggie, and the other two girls who work there. I personally think it's great that they became friends because Auden needs a couple of girlfriends, for more than one reason. First of all, she doesn't know hardly anyone in the town. Second, she's always had a relationship with her books and numbers and school work, but never with boys or friends. Not being much of a social butterfly, she could use some friends like Maggie, Esther, and Leah. And, while gaining some friends, she's also content back in the office at Hiedi's store, working with the checkbook and money. Best of both worlds.
