Springtime blooms, but for Love Bukowski, life at 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 during her fight with breast cancer. But Love’s English boyfriend, Asher, suddenly doesn’t seem to want to talk to her, and her ex-boyfriend Jacob has popped back into her life. Love’s dad is struggling with the way she’s changed (i.e., 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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Often funny, sometimes wise, a good read.” —Kirkus Reviews on The Principles of Love
“Funny and poignant.” —Elle Girl
“Love Bukowski is the perfect teen heroine, the girl you wish had been your best friend in high school. Love tells all in a voice that is alternately funny and heartwrenching.” —Sarah Dessen, bestselling author of Just Listen

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2006
Love Bukowski has had to leave the London Academy of Drama and Music, and boyfriend Asher Piece, to return home to Massachusetts because her beloved Aunt Mable is in the advanced stages of breast cancer. She's returned to Hadley (a prep school where she is a day student) to learn that her time in London will not count toward her graduation credits because, while she's actually doing the work, she is not in attendance. She's required to complete a special project if she wants to graduate on time.

Love misses her life in London, but is drawn to her ex-boyfriend Jacob who's matured since she left town. Her nemesis Lindsay Parrish hints at a relationship with Jacob.

Love's male friend Chris is her support system and introduces her to Haverford and Chilton, the new 'kids' at school. And Aunt Mable provides Love with information about her mysterious mother who left her when she was an infant.

Her father has a new love interest and he struggles with his daughter's 'growing up.' But what Love wants is for school to get out, Mable to get well, and her friend Arabella to arrive from London for a visit--and of course, Asher's trip across the pond is what she lives for. But Asher has other ideas.

All You Need Is Love had the potential of being a wonderful story, but there were just too many characters and storylines that were never fully developed. I didn't feel as if I got to know any of the characters (except for Love) and the conflict and tension that would have added much to the story, fizzled. I was also distracted by the way scenes ran together and changed completely without an obvious break.

There will be another Love Bukowski book released in the near future, but I don't think I'm going to read it.

Armchair Interviews says: A good story that could have been better with fewer characters and more clarity.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fresh and realistic dialogue in a fluffy teen read
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2006
All You Need Is Love is the fourth installment in author Emily Franklin's The Principles of Love series. Our heroine, Love Bukowski, has moved back to her Massachusetts day school after a stint in London. The plot focuses on Love's long distance romance struggles, her relationship with her American ex-boyfriend, and re-adjusting to life with her father, who isn't too thrilled with Love's post-Europe habits and has a girlfriend of his own now. Throw in a sick relative who is full of dirt on the family secrets, and you've got plenty of tension and conflict for a two hundred and fifty-page novel. The narrative is certainly action-packed, but at times, the number of stressors in Love's life detracts from an otherwise cute storyline. The dialogue is fresh and realistic, so as a pure fluff read, this book is enjoyable. Don't pay full retail price, though.
