Flyleaf Books is Sarah’s independent bookstore located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Besides selling books, trading used books, and accepting online orders from non-locals, one of the store’s services is offering signed copies from local authors and Sarah has her own author page.
Important to Know
You only pay for the book. The signing and personalization is at no extra charge. The only “catch” is orders are shipped based on availability of what’s in stock.
Hardcovers are priced higher and have to be special ordered.
Along for the Ride is available in paperback with or without the Netflix sticker on it (otherwise known as the “Movie Tie-In”).
There are also options to order the physical audio book CDs, e-books, mp3s, and some Spanish editions.
The more obscure (for lack of a better term) the edition the longer it may take to arrive in store, ship to you, and be received.
All of the paperbacks are readily available on the Flyleaf shelves at this time and while the prices differ, they are the cheapest option.
Shipping
All orders ship through USPS media mail. The first book has a $5.99 shipping charge and $1 is added for each additional book. Hypothetically, you could order all 14 Sarah Dessen books in paperback and ~only~ pay $18.99 in shipping.
Ordering
To get your signed copy/ies, search for the titles you desire and add them to the cart. Upon checkout look for the “Order Comments” at the bottom of the page. It will be below your payment and contact information.
Fill in your personalization request - a special note, your favorite quote, your name, someone else’s name, only her signature, the date, etc. - review the order, and submit it.
And that’s it!
You can order as many as you want, in any variation of signed and/or personalization, and Flyleaf will let Sarah know to stop by.
The books will ship when she’s done and you’ll have an almost-direct connection to Sarah. 😉
Keep in mind that, while the service is offered throughout the year, Sarah usually travels with her family in the summer and if she’s on tour or it’s the holidays order completion times can vary.
Hehehe can do. (Also i made this gif so don’t come at me for not crediting)

“Oh, wait,” Carson pondered for a second as she stood in the middle of the living room, one hand on her hip, the other touching her face as she glanced around in thought. “Maybe the tree will look better over there.”
“Carse, I’ve moved this box three times. Please make up your mind, babe.” Auston groaned as he stood up straight and looked over at his wife.
It was December 1st, just a regular Thursday to everyone else and an off day for Auston, but to Carson, it was so much more important than that. Why? Because it was the day, the Matthews family was decorating for Christmas.
Since moving out of the condo and into their new house in Toronto, Carson was overwhelmed and excited by the space she had to decorate. To make it all more exciting, it was also Mia’s first holiday season which had Carson wanting to make it even more special.
However, she didn’t expect to be so stressed out.
The rest of the house was basically decorated. Carson made sure to buy festive decor around the house's main floor, including garland, glass jars filled with ornaments, lights and an unnecessary amount of Christmas-scented candles. She’d already offered to host at least two Christmas gatherings, not including when some of the family would stay with them later in the month.
There was a lot on Carson’s plate with all the planning she had to do, but even that wasn’t as bad as the dread she felt when it came to making everything look perfect.
“Ok, but what if we set it up in that corner, and it doesn’t look good?” Carson asked, a slight pout on her lips as she looked at her husband.
“I think it’ll look great in either corner,” Auston tried to reason.
“Well, Mia might want it in a different corner entirely.”
“I’m sure Mia doesn’t care where the tree gets set up, Carson,” he told her and nodded toward their 10-month-old, who was busy trying to climb into a box of ornaments. “She seems occupied.”
“Oh, Mia,” Carson reacted as she moved from her spot to go over and pick up their daughter. “You can’t go in there, little miss.”
Mia started giggling as Carson peppered her with kisses, and as soon as she was set back on the ground, didn’t waste any time crawling over to where Frank lay in front of the electric fireplace.
Carson watched Mia with a small smile, and Auston observed them both for a moment, his heart swelling with adoration. He didn’t want to ruin the moment, but he knew that he and Carson needed to figure out the tree situation before Mia got into something she wasn’t supposed to.
“What about this corner here,” Auston spoke up as he moved to said corner. “It won’t block the window seat, and you can still see it from outside. It’s away from the doorway into here, so Frank won’t be running into it all the time, and because it’ll be against the same wall as the TV and fireplace, we’ll still have a perfect view of it from the couch.”
“I guess that could work,” Carson responded, but clearly still thinking. “I just don’t want to get it all set up and regret putting it there.”
“You’re really putting a lot of thought into this.”
“I just want it to be perfect, Auston. Is you not stressing me out even more about it too much to ask?”
Auston blinked in surprise, not expecting that reaction from the woman standing across from him, and even Carson seemed surprised by her outburst.
“I-I’m sorry,” she apologized immediately and looked away from Auston, trying to blink back the tears she could feel forming as she fiddled with the sleeves of her hoodie. “I didn’t mean to snap.”
“Hey, it’s ok,” Auston assured her and wasted no time moving from where he stood so he could go over to Carson. Once he was beside her, Auston pulled her into his embrace, and Carson immediately wrapped her arms around him and leaned against his chest. “You wanna tell me what’s going on? I know there’s no way the location of our Christmas tree has got you this upset.”
“You know me well,” Carson chuckled and shook her head before sighing. “I’ve just been thinking about my mom a lot lately. She loved Christmas and always made it so special for Mya, Nate and me. It was magical, and I want to do the same for Mia. Obviously, I know she will not remember her first Christmas, but I will.”
Auston couldn’t help the smile that grew as he listened before moving to place a kiss on top of Carson’s head.
“I love you,” he mumbled against her hair. “Mia’s first Christmas is going to be amazing. I won’t question what you want to do anymore. When we moved in here, I promised you could be the interior decorator, which applies to holidays.”
“Even though I go overboard?” Carson asked as she moved away from Auston’s chest to look up at him.
“Yes, I think it’s cute.”
At that, Carson smiled and then stood on her tiptoes so she could peck his lips. “I love you.”
“And I love you,” Auston reminded her. “Now, about this damn tree.”
“I think you might be onto something by putting it in the corner by the window,” Carson chuckled as she stepped away from Auston and over to the corner he was standing in a few minutes prior. “It’ll cover some of the bookshelf, but I can live with that.”
“You say like these aren’t all books you’ve read and that you don’t have more all around the house.”
“And what about it?”
“Nothing, nothing,” Auston responded, smiling and holding his hands up in surrender. “Alright, so the tree goes in that corner. Final answer?”
“Yes, I think it’ll look great there,” Carson answered.
“Perfect,” Auston said before pushing the box toward the area. “Now that’s decided, we can finally start setting it up.”
“And fluffing, which I know you love so much.”
“Right… the best part.”
Carson laughed at Auston’s sarcasm before moving to lift the box of ornaments and lights over to where Auston started piecing the tree together, but before she could even look at the box, she was met by a thud a gasp and the sound of small items spilling out all over the floor.
Carson and Auston quickly looked to the source of the noise to find Mia sitting beside the now tipped-over box, surrounded by ornaments and looking at her parents in surprise. Soon, her shocked expression faded as she let out a happy squeal and grabbed an ornament by its string to swing around merrily.
Auston and Carson looked at each other again, trying not to laugh before Auston spoke.
“I don’t think Christmas decorating will ever be boring now that we have her to keep us entertained.”
