The novel I am currently reading is Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen. The main character, Auden is held back by many beliefs. Her mom is an english professor and is very successful but she expects Auden to care only about academics. Auden spent her life studying and trying to stand up to her mother's standardsand expectations. This held her back from having close friendships and experiencing high school. It wasnt until she spent the summer away from her mother that she realized the importance of friendships and what's like to live life stress-free.
The advice that I would give to Auden is to keep the friends she's made, and if given an oppurtunity to step outside her comfort zone, she should accept.
