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

Blissfully funny

Hilarious

Joyful
