I really liked the idea for this book, and I definitely enjoyed reading about the sense of community spirit and togetherness that we experienced during lockdown. I also liked the fact that one of the characters was shielding, as I feel that shielding was something many people forgot about during lockdown; many people did not appreciate the freedom they still had to go shopping or exercise while some people were locked in one room.
However, the writing style was not for me. I struggled to relate to the main characters, especially Sophia. I found the pace a bit slow and sometimes the story jumped about a bit and was hard to keep track of. I really liked the side characters actually, especially Bertie and Mavis.
Overall an enjoyable read, just not my cup of tea! The ARC formatting was slightly messy, but I’m sure this will be fixed upon publication. Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books for allowing me to read and review!

This book was just ok for me. The formatting for the arc was a little messed up do it was harder for me to read. I hope it gets fixed. The story was a little flat for me. I found myself skimming a lot. The idea was good. Just a little too slow for me.

Unfortunately I couldn't finish this book as the writing style made it so difficult and distracting to read, I struggled to keep my attention on the story. It's written in the 3rd person but it was directed to just 1 person at a time so you could hear what was going through their head but it was he did this and he saw that etc which wrecked the flow of the story

Due to what I'm sure will be fixed in editing before this heads out for publication, the break up of the chapters was very hard to see because they weren't bolded. I am sure this will be fixed in publication.

Overall, it was a good read. I think it was sweet and endearing, especially during these tough times.

Love in Lockdown tells a story of two people stuck at home during quarantine who desperately wish to find someone out there even during these trying times. It’s a story that is absolutely highly relatable to most people and sometimes we need books like this to feel that no, we’re not alone at all and everyone is going through the exact same thing.

This had been a nice read albeit it being so close to him with the COVID-19 nowadays. Although I usually read books to escape from reality, this surprisingly was not bad at all. I felt for the characters and how they were trying to slowly go through the motions. If you need a quick read, this one is for you.
