Can love trump sex and tequila in the life of an unruly New York lesbian? Michelle Sawyer’s rollicking debut novel is a “Sex In The City” style romp through the life of a single, successful New Yorker (Macy Delongchamp), whose existence is about to be seriously unsettled by the sudden appearance of a beautiful young woman on rollerblades.

It’s easy to see parts of ourselves in Sawyer’s main character, who at 40-plus has a string of non-committed relationships, drinks out of  control, is losing her best friend to cancer and is realizing she’s no longer the fresh-faced sweetheart of the chichi Manhattan lesbian scene.

I read this book in about three days, which, to me, attests to its appeal, plot and the writer’s ability to keep the reader turning pages and always guessing. Definitely worth a read.

About The Author: Sawyer target shoots in her spare time, loves gorillas and the color red, and prays to Joan Crawford. She lives with her two Rotweilers, Carly and Clee, in Jackson, Mich., where she was born and raised, and where, she says it’s unbelievably beautiful in the fall.
