She is a Senior Commissioning Editor at The Sunday Times Magazine, and has written features and interviews for the Guardian, Sunday Times Style, Elle, ES Magazine, Grazia, the Telegraph and Vogue. Phoebe has had the theme tune to The OC stuck in her head since 2003 and once almost spent her student loan on a micro-pig. She no longer shops online when drunk. The Lock In was her debut novel, and her second, The Back Up Man, will be published in 2023.

Review :
Entertaining, endearing, and truly unique. Found myself wincing and laughing with familiarity The year's most original romcom Hilarious David Nicholls for millennials . . . The Lock In is a dream read: an immaculately plotted romcom which vividly captures both late teenagehood and twentysomething houseshares A high-concept romcom that's stuffed full of belly laughs and nostalgia Such a fun, clever, original and massively entertaining read . . . I love it, you'll love it I LOVED this book . . . I highly recommend The Lock In if you fancy a fun summer time read Beautifully written, warm and fun with a dose of early noughties nostalgia, The Lock In is a perfect summer read I loved this book. Brilliantly written and so perceptive on the trials and tribulations of Generation Rent, it's also screamingly funny, deliciously nostalgic and really just a very fun time. I almost wish they'd stayed locked in for longer An immensely readable, witty and well-crafted debut . . . a very millennial tale of love, loneliness and friendship This will have you both cringing and crying with laughter On one hand a feel-good, laugh out loud funny escapist read, and on another a blistering critique of twentysomethings' experience of renting in the capital This hilarious debut will give you all the lols you need this summer. A highly relatable comedy about flatmates, hangovers and terrible landlords Funny and compelling from page one and so well written. Such a brilliant premise and really well executed. Officially a huge fan of Phoebe Luckhurst! A funny, joyful hug of a book! A nostalgic, pitch perfect ode to the awkwardness and hilarity of yearning teenage years and house sharing in your twenties Loved the concept and characters. . . it's very funny Proper laugh-out-loud stuff 'Best new good book to read' Irresistible premise . . . addictive One to watch Hilarious Joyful
