What it’s about: Marketed as a “gender-flipped reboot of the iconic 1970s film Taxi Driver,” this is the bold story of Damani, a rideshare driver who’s dealing with loss, taking care of a sick parent, and figuring out how to survive on the increasingly meager pay she brings home from work. One day, she gives a ride to Jolene, a rich white woman, and begins to fall in love with her, until Jolene does something so shocking that Damani may never be able to move past it. Engrossing with a strong narrative voice, this is a book that will grab you and never let go.
