Main Character Energy: A fun, touching and escapist rom-com set in the French Riviera by Jamie Varon
It's your story, but are you the main character?
Poppy Banks would rather be writing mysteries than listicles for her dead-end job at Thought Buzz. After a series of rejections, she's ready to accept life on the sidelines as a plus-size woman.
But all her beliefs about herself are challenged when the one person unwilling to give up on Poppy's dreams-her aunt Margot-dies. Margot has left her niece a grand surprise-a trip to her villa on the French Riviera. And that's not all. In France, Poppy learns her aunt also intends to leave her stunning villa and secretive writer's residency to her-if she can finish her novel in six months.
As the countdown begins, Poppy realises she has more to confront than her writer's block. Family drama, complicated romances and self-doubt all threaten to throw her off course. Poppy must decide if she can live up to her aunt's-and her own-desire to be the main character in her own life.
