About the Book

Brought to you by Penguin. YOU'VE HEARD OF A LOCKED ROOM MYSTERY. NOW GET READY FOR A LOCKED ROOM ROM-COM! 'Entertaining, endearing, and truly unique. Found myself wincing and laughing with familiarity' EMMA GANNON 'Hilarious' Evening Standard, 'Best New Books in 2021' ______ Ellen and Alexa have survived hangovers, dodgy landlords and most of their twenties together. But can they survive this? One Saturday morning, while nursing The Hangover from Hell, a flooded kitchen leads best mates Ellen and Alexa, and hapless housemate Jack, into their attic to turn off the water supply. But when Ben - Alexa's date from the night before - walks in, the door slams, the handle breaks and all four of them are trapped. Cue The Worst morning-after-the-night before. As the hours tick by, Ellen nurses her sore head and watches as her best friend falls for this handsome stranger. Only for a horrifying realisation to hit. She is sure she knows Ben from somewhere. Frantically searching her memories, Ellen tries to piece together exactly how they've met before. When a distant memory finally comes to her, she desperately wonders: could Ben really be who she thinks he is . . . And more importantly, what on earth is she going to do about it . . . Welcome to The Lock In. This is a hilarious story of housemates and hangovers and friendship and dating as four twenty-somethings discover what The Worst morning-after-the-night-before really looks like . . . Fans of Dolly Alderton, Beth O'Leary and Mhairi McFarlane will LOVE this oh-so relatable tale of love, landlords and what can happen behind locked doors AS SEEN IN GRAZIA © Phoebe Luckhurst 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021

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
