For the inhabitants of London Lane, a simple slip of paper underneath each of their doors is about to change their lives in a hundred different ways.
URGENT!!! Due to the current situation, building management has decided to impose a seven-day quarantine on all apartment buildings on London Lane.
With nowhere else to go . . .
Ethan and Charlotte wonder whether absence really does make the heart grow fonder when they end up on either side of a locked door.
A fierce debate over pineapple on pizza ignites a series of revelations about Zach and Serena’s four-year relationship.
Liv realizes rolling with the punches is sometimes much harder than it looks after her bridesmaids’ party goes off the rails, leaving the group at each other’s throats.
Isla and Danny’s new romance is put to the test as they jump ten steps ahead on the relationship timeline.
And Imogen and Nate’s one-night stand is about to get six do-overs they never really asked for—not awkward at all.
Through make ups, breakups, love-ins, and blowouts, friendships are tested as everyone scrambles to make it through the week unscathed. Amidst all the drama, one thing remains constant: life is full of surprises.
My review:
This was one of the cutest books I've read in a long time! And I have to also give it bonus points for being one of the most clever plots as well! An apartment building in London is shut down for seven days during the pandemic, and we follow five of the apartments and the residents stuck inside each of them. Some super funny moments ensue, along with some more sentimental examinations of relationships. It definitely brought me back to the days of disinfecting groceries (remember that?) and being cooped up in one place. I will say that there a lot of characters to keep track of from the beginning, but just roll with it, and things will fall into place as you progress through the book. I loved exploring the different situations that arose, and the ending put a huge smile on my face with excellent resolution.
If you are squeamish about reading COVID related books, I wouldn't shy away from this one. It's all about the lockdown aspect, and not anything about the horrific disease that precipitated it. I had so much fun reading this, and I highly recommend if you enjoy a good rom-com with underlying real relationship issues. I guarantee you will be laughing after chapter one!
