"Read with Jenna" -- cover
"A crackling, satirical debut novel about a young black man who accidentally impresses a CEO while serving his Starbucks order, catapulting him into the opportunity of a lifetime-a shot at stardom as the lone black salesman at an eccentric, mysterious, and wildly successful startup where, he will soon learn, nothing is as it seems"-- Provided by publisher.

Truly Unique Voice submitted by LMahlmeister on August 6, 2021, 9:49am Askaripour has creatively crafted an important message on racism and the dysfunction of corporate America, this satirical novel is a true gem. You find yourself immersed in Buck's world, cursing his fails and rooting for his wins.
