Phoebe Luckhurst was born in London and brought up in Glasgow. She is the Features Editor of the Evening Standard and appears regularly on their podcast, The Leader. She has written for the Guardian, Sunday Times Style, ELLE, ES Magazine, Grazia, The Telegraph and Vogue. Her debut The Lock In is therefore, unsurprisingly, an accomplished read about love, flatshares, school nostalgia, landlords from hell, and online dates which end up in an attic. Fabulously weaving multiple-narrative, The Lock In is entertaining and endearing, and a superb reason to lock yourself in and devour the story of Ellen and her flatmates, Alexa and Jack. Welcome to 49 Rokeby Close. Perfect for fans of Beth O’Leary’s bestseller The Flatshare.
Writer and editor Laura Kay was selected as one of the ten Penguin Random House WriteNow mentees in 2018. Her debut novel The Split has achieved much critical acclaim from Ruth Jones, Katie Fforde, Julie Cohen, to name a few – and it’s easy to see why! From the opening pages, where Ally is brutally dumped by her long term girlfriend, ousted from Emily’s home and her life, we find our shoulders shaking! Ally decides to take their shared cat, Malcolm, and move home to her widowed father in Sheffield. Reunited with old pal, Jeremy (also recently bereft), the two embark upon training for a half-marathon in a bid to impress their exes and boost their self-confidence. But will their plan work? Will Ally realise her mistake before it’s too late? And will anyone ever truly become a friend of Malcolm?
