I Love This Book!!!!

According to a critic this book is suppose to accurately delve into boarding school life, but I think it accurately portrays adolescence whether it's set in public or private school. Of course this book is a fictional creation, so some of the events in the book are unreal (unless you're the luckiest teenager in the world), however this book is highly entertaining and you end up rooting for this character through her triumphs and mistakes. Another plus is the fact that, to a music lover like me, there are several really great (so far) references in the book that I've explored and have yet to explore. If you like fast reads, good plot lines, and music, this book is a must.

loved this!

I was hesitant to get this book, and only grabbed it because I couldn't find anything else interesting. It was a good move...this book is fabulous! Love Bukowski is a typical teenager...except she has a wacky name, and is a new student at the prestigous Hadley Hall, where her father is the principle!Hadley Hall is a cool school, and Love wastes no time making friends. She becomes a well known figure, with some of the most popular people on campus as her friends. She gets major crushes on impossible guys, pursues a musical career, and sets some interesting disciplinary precedents. This book takes you through the first exciting year at Hadley Hall, and leaves you wondering: will she end up with the right guy? And what's in store for next year?

You'll fall in love with Love

I just finished this teen chick lit book today. I read most of it today too =) . I just couldn't put it down! It's a story about Love, a just turned 16 year old, who goes to a prep school where her dad is the principal. She has a hard time finding friends and has her little crushes along the way. It was a really cute story. The ending... WOW. Talk about a cliff hanger. I can't wait for the sequal, Piece, Love, and Happiness: The Principles of Love, to come out! Pick a copy. You wont be disappointed.

Can't wait for the next one!

This book is awesome. Love is a totally relatable and funny character, and the writing really makes you keep reading (I read this in two days). Nicer than Gossip Girls, more like Sisterhood (but maybe more in depth, since it's one girl). I'm glad it's a series because it means there's more LOVE!
