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. 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 \u003ci\u003epeople like her, \u003c\/i\u003e she literally can't afford to pay attention. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen she gives a ride to Jolene (five stars, obviously).

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. But just as their romance intensifies and Damani finally lets her guard down, Jolene does something unforgivable, setting off an explosive chain of events. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA wild, one-sitting read brimming with dark comedy, and piercing social commentary and announcing Priya Guns's feverishly original voice, \u003ci\u003eYour Driver Is Waiting\u003c\/i\u003e is a crackling send-up of our culture of modern alienation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593469330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.19w x 0.63d","brand":"Priya Guns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43271765852341,"sku":"9780593469330","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_1734b882-27ba-4205-b636-42804e328d10.jpg?v=1699956814","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/your-driver-is-waiting-9780593469330","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
