Confessions of a Hollywood Uber Driver: True stories from 30,000 trips in LA

By David Ashley

What happens when an irate passenger is reaching for what might be a gun? What happens when a young woman is stuck in a drunken stupor at 1A.M., or when you realize mid-trip that the President's daughter or Turtle from Entourage is in the backseat of your car? You write a book about it, that's what you do.

Over the course of 30,000 rides, one driver becomes a quiet witness to the real city behind the fame: the laughter, the loneliness, and the unforgettable encounters that happen during rideshare trips through the heart of L.A. From struggling actors rehearsing lines to celebrities hiding in plain sight, every passenger reveals a new side of Hollywood that most people never see.

In this gripping, funny, and heartfelt true story, author David Ashley captures what it's like to drive through dreams in motion and sometimes, dreams in pieces. Part memoir, part behind-the-scenes Hollywood confessional, Confessions of a Hollywood Uber Driver shows the human stories that unfold in a city obsessed with image and success.

Each ride is a short film of its own: spontaneous comedy, midnight heartbreak and unexpected wisdom. Together, they paint a vivid portrait of modern Los Angeles from the front seat of an Uber, a place where real life is often stranger than fiction.

If you enjoy real-life memoirs, true confessions, or funny rideshare stories, this book will take you on an unforgettable trip through the wild, weird, and wonderful streets of Hollywood.

Fasten your seatbelt, you're about to go on a ride.
