Many of us who grew up in the golden era of the romcom will recognise a perfect meet cute that turns into a head-over-heels relationship and ends in happily ever after. So when Lizzie was offered the chance to take part in a The Holiday-style festive house swap with a stranger in New York for an article, she said yes. But in real life things are a little more complicated.

Main Character captures the highs and the lows, the good and the bad of dating – and everything in between. Charting a decade of electric first dates, meaningful connections, and the unavoidable hideous Hinge messages that come with the territory, Lizzie shares her experiences of the intensity of falling in love, the heartbreak of falling out of it and the friendships that have seen her through it all.

This book is both a love letter to romcoms and to the many ways in which love can show up in our lives.
