Do you believe in love before first sight?

Lockdown is putting Sophia’s life on pause – just as she planned to put herself out there and meet someone. When the first clap for the keyworkers rings out around her courtyard, she’s moved to tears for all kinds of reasons.

Jack is used to living life to the fullest. He’s going stir-crazy after just days isolating. Until the night he hears a woman crying from the balcony under his. He strikes up a conversation with the stranger and puts a smile on her face.

Soon their balcony meetings are the highlight of Jack and Sophia’s days. But even as they grow closer together, they’re always kept apart.

Can they fall in love during a lockdown?

Reviews for Love in Lockdown

[Tina Moreno · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

With the backdrop of the pandemic, the book managed to touch on topics related to determining what’s important in life and why, inspiring thought in the middle of a light romance novel. (Rather than a “meet cute” it’s a “not-quite-meet cute”)
