I absolutely love when authors find unique ways to tell a story. In Main Characters, Palmer tells the love story of Clara and Seb through everyone around them, strangers on the streets, friends, family, co-workers. I had never read anything written quite like this before, and the unique perspective really held my attention. The book spans Clara and Seb’s relationship from the first meeting through the next 20 something years.

Clara is a filmmaker and Seb is an actor. They both have very different goals, dreams and desires which both brings them together and pulls them apart. I enjoyed the writing style and the originality of the story. It’s a reminder that every love story is witnessed by a whole world of people simply passing through the background.
