Donofrio discusses her strengths and weaknesses with a witty candor that both engages and entertains the reader.ĭonofrio co-produced the movie, so I was expecting good things from the adaptation. The novel is both compassionate and warm. ![]() Donofrio, a star student in high school, watched her dreams of going to New York University derail as she faced the reality of being a teenage wife and mother. In her book, Donofrio details how she became pregnant at 15 and married her baby's father, a high school dropout named Ray. "Riding in Cars with Boys" is based on Beverly Donofrio's memoir, which I have read. OK, I'll admit that I reviewed this movie with a distinct bias. ![]()
