This book was okay. I didn’t fully read the back summary before starting it, so when I realized this book was about lockdown during Covid I was put off. After about halfway, the book does get really good. There’s drama for every apartment and you’re rooting for most of the couples to get over the hurdles that being in lockdown brought. I also really like how this book was broken up into days, however there are so many couples/groups/apartments that I had to keep referencing the back to see which apartment had which storylines. As a side note, I didn’t realize these people were actually British until halfway through when they starting using British slang (I swear they didn’t have a British accent in the beginning). Overall it was good, but I also didn’t need to read a book involving Covid. 

Also will we ever figure out what happens with the couples in a few months or even a year out???
