They'd like to be going out.
Instead they're stuck in . . .
Best friends Ellen and Alexa have always been close.
Until one fateful morning when they get locked in their attic with hapless housemate Jack and Alexa's date from the night before, Ben.
With no way out, hangovers and the hours crawling by, it seems best friends can get too close for comfort.
Especially when Ellen realises she already knows Ben - perhaps rather better than Alexa does . . .
Fans of Dolly Alderton, Beth O'Leary and Mhairi McFarlane will LOVE this oh-so relatable tale of love, landlords and what can happen behind locked doors
