Lockdown on London Lane takes place at the beginning of our current pandemic in the UK, without mentioning the dreaded ‘C’ word that we constantly hear now. The reader knows it is CoVid with the mentioning of certain mainstays throughout the novel. Though a serious issue with how life had forever changed for us all, Lockdown is an entertaining read with the unique situations that are occurring in each apartment.

From a one-night stand trying to sneak out but then forced to stay a week, to a bridal party stuck together for all chaos that could and will happen. We also have an entertaining debate on pineapple on pizza that a long-term couple faces. There is a fun and entertaining climax that involves the whole apartment complex that just brings a smile to your face.

I enjoyed reading this light take on our current world situation. Would you want to find yourself stuck in any of these situations? Would you be able to handle staying in your apartment for a week with your special or not so special someone? Will you survive or tear each other apart? These days it is still happening daily.

Lockdown is a fun read that takes a variety of circumstances in each apartment and puts the reader in a ‘fly on the wall’ situation to see what happens. This is an entertaining read that we all may need after two years of a seemingly never-ending pandemic.
