Bobby Palmer

This third one is published this year.

It's called Main Characters by Bobby Palmer.

It's told by multiple POVs, like multiple.

I still haven't read this

Actually, this is something I'm very excited to talk to you about in our main characters episode.

I've been listening to interviews with Bobby Palmer.

And at one point he had a I have very strong opinions on the ending of that book.

But at one point he ended in a different way.

Okay, well, you're going to the beach, so I feel like you're going to come back with a big list for us.

I hope so.

Well, if you want to read something, you can join us in reading Main Characters by Bobby Palmer.

Not to be confused with Main Characters by Hannah Orenstein, Maine Like the State.

We don't need to go deep there, but one question we have not talked about in our reading lives is, is there a book that is currently your go-to recommendation, that you can't stop recommending?

I mean, obvious answer is John of John by Douglas Stuart, but I have been recommending Main Characters by Bobby Palmer, our book club book for this month, quite a bit because I think it is a really universally appealing read.

Mm-hmm.

How about you?

But it is a dual timeline novel in the present about an all-women art heist, and then in the past about the woman who made Vincent Van Gogh famous.

I am currently reading this as well, and it is very enjoyable.

Well, if you're looking for another book club book, consider Main Characters by Bobby Palmer, uh, which we'll be discussing soon.

This is a love story told through the perspective of everyone except the two main characters, and I've been seeing a lot of great things about it in the Facebook Group and beyond, and we both loved it, and I'm excited to discuss.

Is it really that long ago? His second novel, Small Hours, was published in 2024 and his writing has appeared in GQ, Esquire and Men's Health to name just a few.

Here to tell us about his brand new novel, Main Characters, is Bobby Palmer.

Hello.

Hello.

I really do want to read it.

So I think that has to be the winner.

so yeah we will add shark heart to our ever-growing list of winners on on book off thank you both for those recommendations and here's two more for you listening main characters by bobby palmer which is out now it's published by headline and people in love by claire david lee also out now published by Michael Joseph as I said loved reading them and have really enjoyed speaking to you and chatting books and spending this time with you so thank you both for being here on book off thank you

thanks Joe it's been so much fun

Well,

if none of those struck your fancy, we also have our September book club pick, which is Main Characters by Bobby Palmer.

And this is a literary romance that is told from rotating POVs of everyone except for the main couple.

So it's about this couple who meet in their early 20s when they're young, hungry creatives.

Which made me really sad.

I'm definitely not going to like, I'm going to read more books by Bobby Palmer because yeah, I think

so too.

Um,

I also try to time the picks close to when I've read them.

Yeah, but even just a month, like I read, so our September pick is Main Characters by Bobby Palmer.

And I read that the beginning of August.

I will definitely have to reread that in order to discuss it.

I don't have a category for sci-fi.

Meeting New People by Daniel M. Lavery, which was very like character study-y.

I said main characters by Bobby Palmer because of how he was playing with form.

Although I think you could very easily make the case for Upmarket.

Okay, so Paige, I'll do you next.

I want you to read Main Characters by Bobby Palmer.

I just saw this the other

day.
