The Lock In is a funny, entertaining story about three housemates and a boyfriend who accidentally get locked in the attic. It’s the morning after a a heavy night of drinking, and Ellen wakes up to find the kitchen is flooding - and she doesn’t know how to turn the water off. She assumes the stopcock is somewhere in the attic, because hey - that’s where everything is, isn’t it? Now this concept may seem far-fetched, unlikely even, but I have lived with people when I was a student, who would have thought that this was the logical place to put the stopcock. After all, everything important is in the attic, isn’t it?! 🤷🏼‍♀️

One thing leads to another, and the three housemates (Ellen, Alexa and Jack) along with Ellen’s date from the previous night (Ben), end up locked in the attic with no way out, and no phone signal! Their only chance of attracting attention, is by shouting out of the sky light to passers-by. Which would be great if someone actually walked down their street!

And as for the toilet situation (because out of everything, this was my first though - it’s very important, actually!), Ellen finds herself having to use a box!

They’re all funny, interesting and engaging characters, and when Ellen realises that she and Ben have ‘met’ before and things become very awkward, they still remain nice people that I’d be happy to spend time with (just not in a locked room, thanks!)

This is an ideal pick-me-up book: I think I smiled and laughed from beginning to end!
