Your driver is waiting by Priya Guns
Thank you Netgalley for an arc for an unbiased review.
Damani is a driver, trying to make ends meet to look after her mother and herself. Life is a struggle, with Damani living in the background, the grind of her life being shown. Often showing biting, dry wit, within a dark aura.
Although the book doesn't have a necessarily fast pace, it's feels absolutely right for the narrative.
Damani finds her life then turned upside down by Jolene. Someone who Damani can't help but finding herself falling for.
This is when the book really takes it up a notch, as we see the social commentary between the white rich privilege Jolene enjoys to the way Damani's life has been. The juxposition at times is jarring, but through it all, love was a central theme in various guises.
Priya is the narrator of the audiobook and I thoroughly enjoyed the way she did it. The nuance was spot on, emotions conveyed as required.
As an audio book listener, this is one I will be adding to my library and recommending to others.
5/5 stars
