This romance was a light read which I managed to finish in a day. I enjoyed the alternate pov's as we got to see the main characters thoughts and daily struggles. Bethan documents her struggles as a single mum balancing her job whilst Lachlan is coming to terms with his newly found disability. I got 'you belong with me' vibes from the story. 
The book did take a while to get into it and there were some parts which dragged on for longer than they needed to, making it become cringy

(e.g. the biscuit conversation).

The book includes the

miscommunication

trope which isn't my favourite and got frustrating. Also Darren is also an asshole, and it was infuriating to hear him speak.
I listened to the audiobook and found the different readers engaging.

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.
