The Principles of Love

School’s out for summer, but Love’s got more to learn…

Senior year looms large for Love Bukowski after a tumultuous junior year of romance and heartbreak. But before senior fall, Love is ready for summer break on Martha’s Vineyard. Running her Aunt Mable’s café with her best friend Arabella may not be glamorous, but it will at least be fun and perhaps just the refresher she needs after the crazy year she’s had. Plus, Mable’s created a treasure map of clues that will bring her closer to the truth about her family.

The past is starting to look clearer, but her future is anything but. Love’s three months of freedom will end with big questions about college (and Jacob). But, for now, the boys of summer are more appealing than ever, and the Summer of Love is about to begin…

Springtime blooms, but for Love Bukowski, life back home is chilly

After an incredible semester at the London Academy of Drama and Music, Love Bukowski is back at Hadley Hall. Unfortunately, it feels as though her fabulous British life (and boyfriend) are on hold. Love wants only to be at Aunt Mable’s side, helping Mable during her fight with breast cancer. But why now Love’s Brit boyfriend Asher doesn’t seem to want to talk to her, and yet her ex-boyfriend Jacob has popped back into her life. Love’s dad is struggling with the way she’s changed (changed = grown up) and Aunt Mable has new information about Love’s mysterious mother. Love still longs for security—but maybe home is not the place to find it.

There’s a new Love in the Old World

Love Bukowski is finally in London! Her term abroad at the London Academy of Drama and Music promises to be anything but average. After leaving Hadley Hall, her dad (who’s got a new girlfriend), and her beloved Aunt Mabel (who is fighting breast cancer), Love faces a new set of challenges across the pond: vocal lessons, keeping up with Arabella and her new friends, and falling for the a Brit who is completely off-limits. Will Love turn around and retreat to the world she’s left behind? Or choose to dig deep into all that London (and love) has to offer?

Fall is in the air and Love is back at Hadley Hall

For Love Bukowski, summer’s over and school’s about to begin. But it seems like Love’s going it alone: her Aunt Mable has been acting weird, her Dad (who happens to be principal of her school) is preoccupied, her ex is pouting in Europe, and her former friend Cordelia has bonded with the evil Lindsay Parrish. Enter the new exchange student from London, Arabella Piece, who’s staying with Love and has some secrets of her own. Love’s summer may have called it a wrap, but her Fall semester dramas have just begun.

What do you really know about Love?

Love’s her real name, but it’s not her whole story…
Love Bukowski is about to start school at Hadley Hall, the posh prep school where her dad’s the new principal headmaster. Raised by her single dad (with more than a little help from her funky Aunt Mable), almost sixteen-year-old Love is strong-willed, with a wry sense of humor—but will she fit into the world of Hadley Hall? In the made-for-TV version of her life, she’s got cool friends and hot guys galore. But being a “fac brat” makes new friends hard to come by, and the guys—well, that remains to be seen. Now Love’s got to step it up if she’s going to overcome her less-than-glamorous reality and get that walk-on role in her own fantasies.
