Ein origineller, rasanter Debütroman einer aufregenden neuen Stimme. Damani kämpft. Jeden Tag kümmert sie sich um ihre Mutter, fährt die ältere Dame Mrs. Patrice zum Bingospielen, während sie immer weniger durch die Fahrdienst-App verdient. Die Rechnungen stapeln sich, ihre Wut auf die Welt wächst. Bis eines Tages Jolene in ihrem Wagen sitzt. Sie scheint die perfekte Freundin zu sein - aufmerksam, attraktiv, eine Verbündete.

So maybe Damani can look past the one thing that's holding her back: Jolene is white. But Jolene really doesn't seem like one of the bad ones—she's done the reading, she goes to every protest, she even listens.
