Best-selling author Beverly Donofrio is building a growing following of fans with her honest, moving accounts of experiences from her own colorful life. Riding in Cars with Boys--the basis of the hit movie starring Drew Barrymore--is her funny and touching account of growing up too fast in the 1960s.

Once her strict family told her she couldn’t go to college, Beverly lost interest in everything except smoking, drinking, and rebelling against authority. She was a "bad" girl, and her behavior soon got her into trouble--as in the pregnant kind of trouble. From becoming a teen-aged wife and mother through finally going to college and getting her life back in order, Donofrio faced one challenge after another in her ambivalent efforts to "grow up" as she raised her son. By turns laugh-out-loud hilarious and poignantly insightful, Riding in Cars with Boys is perfectly served by a bright, smart narration from Christina Moore.

I loved the movie but, as usual, the book is SO much better! It's actually a bit of a different story; better in my opinion.

Even better than the movie!

You rarely hear a coming of age memoir with such wit, comedy, and vulnerability. How Bev manages to take her life trials (that another woman might cry about) and keep the whole world laughing is beyond me. I saw her do a live reading and knew I had to get her Audible book. I was not disappointed. LOVED IT!

A Great Ride with Bev Donofrio!

This book let me down more than my ex husband did. I had high hopes bit found the female protagonist annoying and the end made me...

I regret reading this

It was a short listen but an amazing story. I really loved listening to this after watching the movie when I was a kid. I’m sad it was so short though, I wanted it to keep going forever

Pretty great

of course the book will ve different from the movie, and at the beginning it bothered me (because I love the movie so much!); BUT by the middle of the book I absolutely LOVED that every concept from the box is played out in the movie even if the scenario is different [Example all the female characters in her life take the role of Fae in the movie]. I very much enjoyed the book!!

Excellent
