Unreliable narrators are fine…unless they’re women??

I can’t believe some of the reviews for Your Driver Is Waiting. The main gripe? That the protagonist is “unreliable” or “unlikeable.” Really? Did these same people give The Silent Patient, Goodnight Beautiful, or You on Netflix a pass? Because those are full of unreliable, messy, and downright terrible characters—usually men—and they get praised as “complex” or “genius.”

Here’s the deal: as soon as a female character isn’t humble, perfect, or likable, people lose their minds. But if a dude is a stalker, liar, or manipulative creep (cough Joe Goldberg cough), it’s suddenly “brilliant storytelling.” The double standard is glaring.
And let’s talk about people calling this story “ridiculous.” Is it really any more far-fetched than Joe getting away with murder while somehow charming everyone? Or the completely wild twists in The Silent Patient? No, it’s not. Priya’s story is sharp, raw, and unapologetic. It tackles class, race, and privilege in ways that might make some people uncomfortable—but honestly, that’s what makes it so compelling.

So yeah, I loved this book. The protagonist isn’t here to make you like her, and that’s the point. It’s refreshing, bold, and nowhere near as “ridiculous” as some of the stalker-weirdo stories everyone seems to worship. Huge shoutout to Priya for telling this story—flaws and all. Highly recommend it if you can handle a story that doesn’t sugarcoat or apologize for itself.

Just the perfect story to wrap things up. It was everything I could have wanted it to be and tied a nice line through all of the seven sisters stories. Thank you Harry for tying this up with a bow! Looking forward to the tv series

I’ve been waiting for this book for a bit and was excited to wake up to start listening today. Luckily, I couldn’t sleep very late, so I was up a few hours before I needed to start working. I also listened on my lunch break, after work walking my dog, and while I was eating dinner! The story is so good, captivating, funny, sad, and the storyline very creative and different from anything out there right now. The characters are so different, but captivating in their own right. Narration was awesome, love the Brooklyn accent to go along with the story. Love this book, I hope Claire Jimenez writes more soon!
