Bosworth plays Heidi in the film, stepmom to teenager Auden and new mom of an infant.

More than a few movies and TV shows paint stepmothers in a negative light.

She also noted how much of her own experience as a stepmother informed the character.

“I feel like there [are] so many blended families today.

AndHeidi does just that for Auden.

Hi, I’m Kate.

So nice to meet you.'”

So much of that I put into Heidi.

She’s a new mom, so she’s barely getting any sleep.

It’s great to see a well-intentioned stepmom on screen who wants the best for her stepdaughter.

“Along for the Ride"is now streaming on Netflix.
