JoyRide
Cheerful, earnest, and preternaturally optimistic, Uber driver Joybird Martin dreams of being a life coach. But just as she's getting close, her crusty father shows up on her Brooklyn doorstep, derailing her plans. She takes him in, trying to find a balance between her sunny idealism and his sarcastic cynicism.
It works. When Uber sends her to pick up a handsome Wall Street hotshot who’s tense and dismissive, Joybird’s buoyancy shines through, coaxing him toward the light. He’s so impressed he suggests she become a life coach from the front seat of her car. She gently rejects his suggestion, as well as his advances. A slick stockbroker? Never! Not even one as swoony as Devon Cato.
Still, his cologne lingers, and so does his idea. Life coaching from her car? It could work! Joybird doubles back to thank him, forging a surprising friendship as she begins coaching her riders—now her clients toward fulfillment.
Despite her troubling attraction for someone so materialistic, everything is sunshine and unicorns. Well, almost everything. The person she loves most, her father, seems impossible to help. But when she learns he’s spent a lifetime pining for a girl he kissed as a teenager, Joybird makes it her mission to find this long lost love and bring her father happiness at last. With Devon along for the ride, she might even find love of her own… and learn what truly drives her.
