Synopsis

FROM THE WORLDWIDE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE KISSING BOOTH, A MAJOR NETFLIX HIT

'Truly wonderful and brilliant . . . Beth is officially the new queen of hilarious rom-coms' LUCY VINE

'Brilliant! So original, so clever, so funny' HELLY ACTION, author of The Shelf

'This funny, warm pandemic read is what we all need right now!' FABULOUS magazine

Five couples. One week. A love story like no other . . .

When an apartment block is put on lockdown, its residents are in for a whirlwind week. In Flat 14, wild and reckless Imogen is stuck living with a one-night-stand whose name she can't remember.

Upstairs, Isla and Danny are still in the honeymoon period, but a warts-and-all week together so early in the relationship could make or break their romance. Meanwhile, Zach and Serena's steady relationship is on tenterhooks, and pineapple on pizza might actually be the last straw.

In Flat 22, Olivia's Maid of Honour duties are pushing her to the edge as a wedding-planning weekend has turned into an entire (nightmarish) week... And speaking of weddings, this whole thing has made Ethan realise he wants to spend the rest of his life with Charlotte, if only he can surprise her with the perfect proposal - and find a way to sneak her into the building . . .

From make-ups to break-ups, one-night stands and proposals, Lockdown on London Lane is the ultimate love story. Perfect for fans of THE FLATSHARE, OUR STOP and LOVE ACTUALLY

'Clever, heart-warming and hilarious, each page is pure joy. Beth Reekles has written the perfect book for these times' Phaedra Patrick, author of THE LIBRARY OF LOST AND FOUND

'A funny, feel-good romance' People's Friend

Goodreads review by Mallory on January 28, 2022

This story was cute and entertaining, but I feel like I would have enjoyed it more if they had been stuck in the building for any other reason. I just am not sure it isn’t too soon for a Covid-19 rom-com. I did like the cast of characters and felt that they were diverse and interesting. One Sunday a......more

Goodreads review by exploraDora on June 04, 2022

Cute, but sort of meh?! The story consists of many different POVs, told by apartments. Each person/couple in those apartments has a relationship dilemma they struggle with, all while being under strict Covid lockdown for seven days. For the majority of the book, I thought there were too many stories......more

Goodreads review by Darlene on February 28, 2022

In this laugh-out-loud contemporary romance, a whole apartment building in London is locked down with only a few hours' notice given in the wee hours of the morning. What follows is a peek into the lives of several of the inhabitants while they are forcibly caged for a week. In one apartment, what w......more
