But just as their romance intensifies and Damani finally lets her guard down, Jolene does something unforgivable, setting off an explosive chain of events.Ī wild, one-sitting read brimming with dark comedy, and piercing social commentary and announcing Priya Guns's feverishly original voice, Your Driver Is Waiting is a crackling send-up of our culture of modern alienation.Ī Good Morning America Buzz Pick, a Best Romance of 2022 by The New York Times and The Washington Post, and a Most Anticipated Book of 2022 by Oprah Daily, Vulture, Harper’ s Bazaar, Thrillist, Essence, Good Housekeeping, Glamour, Marie Claire, Parade, Bustle, BuzzFeed, Refinery29, Business Insider, The Guardian, Financial Times, PopSugar, Book Riot, LitHub, Bookish, LGBTQ Reads, and more! So maybe Damani can look past the one thing that's holding her back: she’s never dated anyone with money before, not to mention a white girl with money. Jolene’s done the reading, she goes to every protest, and she says all the right things. Jolene seems like she could be the perfect girlfriend-attentive, attractive, an ally-and their chemistry is off the charts. Then she gives a ride to Jolene (five stars, obviously). The city is roiling in protests-everybody's in solidarity with somebody-but while she keeps hearing that they’re fighting for change on behalf of people like her, she literally can’t afford to pay attention. Her father just died on the job at a fast-food joint, and now she lives paycheck to paycheck in a basement, caring for her mom and driving for an app that is constantly cutting her take. A fierce and immersive debut.” -Weike Wangĭamani is tired. In this electrifyingly fierce and funny social satire-a gender-flipped reboot of the iconic 1970s film Taxi Driver-a ride share driver is barely holding it together on the hunt for love, dignity, and financial security.
