This was cute but not noteworthy. The part where they were actually on the road trip was fun but the story got a little boring at the end. I think Jolene’s reasons for not wanting to commit to an actual relationship was weak and didn’t make sense.

I enjoyed the road trip part more than the rest, found myself getting bored toward the end. Fun side characters.

Review for Along for the Ride by Mimi Grace

Writing Quality 4.5/5

This was a simple and quick read. I enjoyed that I could pick it up whenever and easily slip into the story Mimi Grace created. She is a great romance author and I enjoyed the little tidbits of humour throughout that made me laugh out loud. The few s*xually explicit scenes fit naturally in the storyline and didn’t contain any odd or out of place euphemisms that seem to be a staple in most romance novels and normally make me steer clear of the genre.

Characters and Characterization 4.5/5

The characters were surprisingly well rounded and I could identify with Jason in some ways of his life. I enjoyed reading from both Jolene and Jason’s POVs and watching them develop feelings to one another and realizing they aren’t who they used to be. We did lose some side characters for a bit that I thought would be more present in the story but they eventually made an appearance again. Jolene was such a positive female character in various aspects.

Overall Story 4/5

I really enjoyed the first quarter of the book. It contained some great tropes: car breaking down so they have to spend more time together, only one bed, fake-dating, enemies-to-lovers. There was a lot of conveniently placed plot devices to further the story and relationship but is that not what romance novels are for? The rest of the novel contains the friends-with-benefits trope which obviously never works out the way the characters hope. Some miscommunication trope but was resolved quickly.

Post-reading story 4/5

The ending was satisfying and expected. I finished reading with a feeling of content. I was happy for the characters but it seemed rushed at the end.

Final Rating 4.5/5

Cute Romantic-Comedy.

Spice level: Does contain several s*x scenes.

Author includes brief content notes.

This book was such a fun read!! Got to buddy read it with a friend and neither of us could stop at our weekly chapter goal because it had us hooked. The chemistry between the romantic leads is so palpable and I loved the slow progression of affection for each other. I loved how they got to interact with each others' families and friends and how that informed their opinions of each other. The smut was also pretty good lol

Super fun super cute!
