About this listen
Alannah Robertson is winning at life; she’s doing just fine. She has a good job in fashion retail, a lovely boyfriend, great friends, and a gorgeous flat by the sea in her hometown of Coolsbay. Life is great. Until the world is hit by a pandemic, swiftly followed by a lockdown. The unthinkable has happened in the 21st century, and Alannah soon finds herself in the world of risqué Zoom calls, talk of job losses, and strained relationships. But she’s happy enough stuck in lockdown with boyfriend Jake--it’s a chance to truly bond, discuss the future, marriage, a baby? Maybe both, even if Jake is turning into a lazy, zombie-obsessed slob. The pandemic is about to unlock a whole lot of possibilities for Alannah. The question is, will she take them? Or will she stay as she is, just content instead of Livin’ La Vida Lockdown?
People cope in different ways during a time of crisis. Will Alannah be surprised at the ways some of her loved ones are acting? Are they the people she thought they were? Were they ever? Don't miss this hilarious romcom now! For fans of Sophia Money-Coutts, Tracy Bloom, and Sophie Ranald.

Witty, action-packed and plenty of LOLs!
This story really appealed to me. It's relatable and high in the humour stakes! It centres around Alannah and her live-in boyfriend Jake in the fictional seaside town of Coolsbay. When lockdown hits the UK in 2020, their lives are thrown into disarray and they have to adjust to a new strange existence of working from home, social distancing, exercising once a day and balcony entertainment.
As lockdown continues with no sign of stopping, things become intense for Alannah as Jake slowly but surely turns into a couch potato, and his damp towels and dirty clothes pile up. Alannah finds herself trying to cope with an ever changing set of BoJo rules, egg snatching women in the supermarket, and Jake's endless zombie game playing.
I loved Alannah’s character arc and how she found her silver lining despite all the chaos going on. Special mention for Beau too, her crazy, lovable brother with his beachside support talks and healing crystals.
I was lucky enough to listen to the Audible version and it was a treat. Belle’s witty writing style is perfectly suited to being read aloud, and the narrator Helen Collins did a cracking job with bringing the characters to life. The result is a wonderful, entertaining, easy-to-listen-to story with plenty of LOLs (the Zoom call is crying with laughter funny) and lots of heartfelt moments too.
If you like audio books I’d definitely recommend downloading this one asap, you won’t be disappointed!
