Your Driver Is Waiting by Priya Guns
3.0
started off strong, ended quite weak.
i literally could not tell if the author was pro or con protests from the way they portrayed them: the protesters were made to seem obnoxious, performative, unstructured; too many demands and no actual action. but i gather this book was supposed to be PRO protest ... they did not succeed in writing it like that. the protesters seemed like caricatures.
jolene, of course, the cliche of a white yoga woman, which was entirely unsurprising -- i understand the reader was supposed to be shocked at the revelation, but you could see it coming from the start. and why didnt damani message shereef back??? everything up from jolene calling the cops seemed messy, but not in the way it was intended to, unfortunately.
