An author’s debut will always hold a special place in their heart and London Belongs to Me certainly does for me. I’m so proud of this book—my own love letter to London—and it’s dedicated to my mum who always encouraged me to write.
If you’re looking for a coming-of-age story with a touch of romance and enjoy novels featuring found family, pop culture geekiness, and an Irish love interest on a red Vespa then London Belongs to Me is for you!

Here’s the description:
A New City. A New Start. Same Old Demons …
Meet Alex, a recent college graduate from Tallahassee, Florida in love with London, pop culture, and comic cons. It’s not easy being twenty-one-years-old, and Alex has never been the most popular girl. She’s an outsider, a geeky fangirl … with dreams of becoming a playwright in a city she’s loved from afar, but never visited.
Fleeing America after a devastating betrayal, she believes London is where she’ll be understood, where she belongs. But Alex’s past of panic attacks and broken relationships is hard to escape. When her demons team up with a jealous rival determined to destroy her new British life, Alex begins to question everything: her life-long dream, her new friends, and whether London is where she truly belongs. London Belongs to Me is a coming-of-age story about friendship, following your dreams, learning when to let go … and when to hang on.
Available in ebook, paperback, and audiobook.
Kirkus Reviews said: “Middleton’s novel is a love letter to London …even the most skeptical or cynical readers will surrender to the many delights of this compelling narrative. Prepare to be seduced by engaging characters, irresistible in their own quirky way, and transported by keen descriptions of the sights, sounds, and tastes of London.”
London Belongs to Me was also featured by PopSugar, Redbook, Buzzfeed, and The Huffington Post.
