Overall a good read but I was expecting a bit more from it. It wasn't keeping me hooked as much as others but I would still recommend for a quick cute read!

The blurb was misleading, it mentions something that caught my interest but then turned out to not be in the book at all. Would have been 3 stars if it wasn't for that.

~ Great, easy read! ~
I really enjoyed this book! It was so fun and addicting to read and had me eagerly turning the page to find out what happened next!
•
It took me a little while to figure out who was who as there is a rather large cast, but once I did, it was easy to follow along with the branching narratives. I do think it was hard at times to be invested in all the stories as I think two stole the spotlight and left me wanting more from the others. (Though I think it’s personal opinion which stories you think are interesting)
•
Ethan and Charlotte’s narrative definitely had me the most intrigued and I really loved how it played out! The ending moment was really sweet and very rewarding! I also really liked Imogen and Nate’s arc too! Although I was hesitant to like Imogen’s character at first, her emotional journey with Nate was really well done and swayed me over to liking her!
•
I still really liked the other stories, but they seemed just a little less interesting than the two mentioned above (but again I’ve seen different stories being liked so I think it’s more a personal opinion)
•
Overall though, this was a fun read as I always enjoy a good contemporary romance and I was left satisfied and happy with all the warm romance feelings!
•
CWs ~ frequent strong language and some innuendo throughout the story (nothing overly explicit or graphic though)

This was just so confusing to me. We start off with a girl sneaking out of the apartment of someone who happens to be a one night stand (kinda). However, just as she is about to escape the building, it goes into lockdown because of the pandemic (apparently someone in the apartment is positive). At this point she has to go back to the guy's apartment and I was beginning to love it but then we immediately switch to another couple. There is so much going on without any solid Segway (really) driving the stories today. I had to DNF this one after so many attempts, unfortunately this one does not seem to be for me.

Thank you, NetGalley and Wattpad for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion! "Lockdown on London Lane" is a fun ya/new adult, clean read. It's loosely like the movie "Love, Actually" in that it's based in the UK, is character-driven and follows the love lives of kind-of-connected individuals - who happen to all be on lockdown in the same apartment building because of COVID-19. It is a little too real and too soon to read a book where the plot takes place within the timeframe of the pandemic (I'm sure this is the only book I'll be reading with the theme). But the cute humor and romance makes the read worthwhile. The situations were also very relatable. They reflected various stages of romantic relationships and friendships tested by forced proximity and unprecedented current events. I was a little confused in some places, as it was a little difficult to keep up with the various points of view chapter by chapter. I eventually got the hang of it, and made sense, but I'm sure I missed some small plot points in the first half of the book. It was an easy read for the most part, as it was paced pretty nicely. There's some sapphic representation, but focused mainly on heterosexual relationships. I also know sometimes people don’t like too many pop references in books, well there’s a lot in this. I haven't read any work by Beth Reekles before, but will definitely be following her work going forward.
