Reviews

Catherine Gray, Sunday Times bestselling author
This is like the book version of a cake. I ate it fast and it gave me a sugar rush. Each relationship (outlined with forensic, fearless detail) pulled hard on my heartstrings, given I could remember the time I too had been breadcrumbed by a Dylan. Lizzie Frainier is admirably frank and deeply likeable. She takes you along for the ride of her love life like a British Carrie Bradshaw.
Francesca Specter, author of Alonement and host of the Alonement podcast
A witty, warm, no-holds-barred memoir with timeless lessons on love and life gleaned from the romcom canon. It was love at first read for Lizzie Frainier's Main Character and I

Ben Aitken, author of Here Comes the Fun
Lizzie writes with clarity, vibrance and precision. Main Character has taught me things I didn't know I needed to know
Genevieve Wheeler, author of Adelaide
Lizzie Frainier's Main Character is absolutely overflowing with humour and heart - the type of memoir you'll be pressing into the hands of all your girlfriends, regardless of their relationship status. Balancing intense relatability with stranger-than-fiction anecdotes, it's a brilliant ode to the highs and lows of modern dating, as well as a reminder that we all have the potential to turn our lives into rom-coms (if we're only willing to take a leap and say 'yes!'). Perfect for fans of Everything I Know About Love, Richard Curtis aficionados, and just about anyone who's ever swiped right on a dating app - I adored it
