This story is set around five different apartments who have gone into lockdown, with unlikely consequences. The idea of a romance set during the pandemic was unappealing to me and whilst I still felt uncomfortable about it, the author did a great job at recreating the uncertain atmosphere.
I liked the layout of the story, it made it extremely easy to follow along; it was split into seven days and again, into the five different apartments. I enjoyed the different pov's and how they all interviewed together in the end. Imogen and Nate were definately the highlight of the story, and I found myself rooting for them.
My only critique would be that there were too many people involved in the story and they somehow all were linked together, it made it hard to follow along with the story. Maybe, the author could have removed one or two of the couple's and developed the existing couples more. It was also weird when the author spoke about pop culture like hello fresh and love island, but maybe that was only for me.
Overall this was an enjoyable, fast paced book which I finished in one sitting. It's a light and easy read and I'd recommend it to others.
