Short chapters, very funny. I listened to it, which went really quick (6.5 hrs), and was ready by the author. Don't be a Jolene and tip your drivers.

- YOUR DRIVER IS WAITING is a gender-flipped retelling of TAXI DRIVER, updated to the current day. Making Damani a driver for a rideshare company and making Jolene a white ally is brilliant.
- At times the points Guns is making are a bit on the nose, but the oppressive, hopeful yet hopeless atmosphere of the story is perfect.
- This book is pretty short and I wish there could have been more depth to some of the characters and story elements. I would love to see what Guns can do with a longer, more immersive story. That said, I could not put this book down, and read it within about 48 hours.
