Tiener Beverly groeit op in een eenvoudig gezin. Ze toont al van jongs af aan een grote interesse in literatuur en wil later schrijfster worden en studeren in New York. Als 15-jarig meisje ontwikkelt Beverly echter ook een gezonde interesse in jongens. Ze wordt over haar oren verliefd op een jongen van school. Wanneer ze zijn aandacht wil trekken op een feestje, maakt ze zich belachelijk. De ietwat suffe maar lieve Ray springt voor haar in de bres en dat is het begin van een passionele relatie. Die heeft echter verstrekkende gevolgen als Beverly ontdekt dat ze zwanger is. Als jonge tienermoeder is ze vastbesloten toch haar school af te maken.
Nee, helaas is Riding in Cars with Boys nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
