I am so excited to report to you that Going Up by Amy Lane is an adorable Low Angst read….No tissues, alcohol for pleasure, not to deaden the pain…..Is this Amy Lane?????This is a short read. I read it around the Holidays and have been remiss in posting this review. It is not a Christmas read, but the good feelings poured into this book made it feel such.Zach is a lawyer, living in the tower of his father’s high rise. Financially, Zach owes all to his father who would, suffice to say, die if he knew his son is gay. Hence, Zach is a repressed, gay lawyer. His only way to retaliate is to practice law for the down trodden which infuriates his family.Sean lives on one of the lower floors of this building, sharing the rent “with many” to afford to live there. Fate has something in store for them. Sean and Zach meet on the elevator one morning.This is such a sweet and light hearted story, how could anyone say anything bad about it. You will remember it every time you hear the ding of an elevator.  “Ding!” See, you smiled.This is a story Amy Lane can do best. Each character is brought out vividly. Laugh out loud when Zach is horrified Sean is in costume…..See how the relationship blossoms and Zach has some choices to make when he realizes Sean could be the one….I loved it, and you will too!
