MIDTOWN<\/strong><\/em>, ATLANTA \u2014 Four friends sharing a house in the gay-friendly, upwardly mobile area of downtown Atlanta contend with love and life and drama in this entertaining book by popular blogger Alix B. Golden.<\/p>\n

You should know Golden from A Brown Girl Gone Gay<\/a> (and if you haven’t, you should). There, she writes about her Southern lesbian lifestyle with humor and flair, and her first novel is no different.<\/p>\n

Midtown<\/em> follows four lesbians under one roof, so you know that means \u2014 drama.<\/p>\n

But not in a scandalous way (well, a little scandal). Ed, Ash, Ki and Brie became best friends while attending Florida A&M University, better known as FAMU, who got into plenty of mischief at the school.<\/p>\n

Now as cohabitating adults, the four are living, working, and sleeping together (literally and figuratively). That’s where the drama comes in.<\/p>\n

Ed can’t stop her woman, Taylor, from being unfaithful, despite giving her a manager’s position in her bookstore.\u00a0 Ki and Brie can’t seem to settle down and find the right women, but decide to gain a cuddle buddy in each other. Rounding out the crew is Ash, the straight friend, back into town and ready to declare her newfound sexuality, and hopes they accept her.<\/p>\n

Between these women is an unbreakable friendship, but their romantic connections are definitely complicated.<\/p>\n

Golden’s Midtown<\/em> is a crazy ride in a fast car \u2014 in a good way. The characters are appealing, and feel like women you might have known during your undergrad years \u2014 and you’d still hang out with them now.<\/p>\n
