Item Description
"For the inhabitants of London Lane, a simple slip of paper underneath each of their doors is about to change their lives in a hundred different ways. URGENT!!! Due to the current situation, building management has decided to impose a seven-day quarantine on all apartment buildings on London Lane. Ethan and Charlotte wonder whether absence really does make the heart grow fonder when they end up on either side of a locked door. A fierce debate over pineapple on pizza ignites a series of revelations about Zach and Serena’s four-year relationship. Liv realizes rolling with the punches is sometimes much harder than it looks after her bridesmaids’ party goes off the rails, leaving the group at each other’s throats. Isla and Danny’s new romance is put to the test as they jump ten steps ahead on the relationship timeline. And Imogen and Nate’s one-night stand is about to get six do-overs they never really asked for—not awkward at all. Through make ups, breakups, love-ins, and blowouts, friendships are tested as everyone scrambles to make it through the week unscathed. Amidst all the drama, one thing remains constant: life is full of surprises."--back cover.

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Reekles (The Kissing Booth) pioneers Covid-19 romance in this all-too-realistic Love, Actually--style look at relationships in quarantine. When a resident of a London apartment building tests positive for Covid, the building's management imposes a seven-day quarantine--much to the chagrin of the residents and their guests. Free-spirited Imogen is trapped in the apartment of her one-night stand, Nate. Ethan and his girlfriend, Charlotte, are unable to reunite upon her return from visiting her parents. Serena and Zach bicker over every little thing. Isla's forced to show her new boyfriend, Danny, her messy, human side, shattering the perfect image she'd been trying to maintain. And Olivia, who'd been hosting a bridesmaids' weekend for her best friend's wedding, must wait even longer to get her apartment back to herself. With no one able to get in or out, some relationships are cemented while others are almost destroyed and feelings are clarified all around. Reekles's capable plotting toggles between apartments and keeps readers wondering what's next. The result transforms the harsh realities of quarantine into rom-com enchantment.
