Midnights with You

Seventeen-year-old Deedee longs to escape the stifling world her Filipino mom has created since her husband died, so when Jay, the boy next door, offers to teach her to drive it seems like a way out--but both of them are haunted by family ghosts and traumas that force them apart.

Clare Osongco is a biracial Filipina American writer living in Los Angeles. Driving Home to You is her debut novel. She enjoys mangos with bagoong, mechanical keyboard sounds, and writing super early in the morning when it’s easier to pretend the rest of the world doesn’t exist.
