So, what happens when a slick-mouth girl from Brooklyn decides to go off to college in the unofficial capital of the South? She is quickly introduced to the Atlanta lifestyle, where "Bruh" is part of every other sentence; dreaded fros are a must; hot lemon pepper wings are law; west side accents are always thicker; nobody says ATL unless they're from out of town; HBCU life is unlike any other; and most importantly, it's all about family. In particular, it's all about the Carter family. Without the Carters, there is no Atlanta.--Provided by Publisher.
