Emily Franklin,
The Principles of Love #4: All You Need is Love
(NAL, 2006)


All You Need is Love is the fourth installment in author Emily Franklin's The Principles of Love series, which follows the romantic misadventures of a New England teenager.

Our heroine, Love Bukowski, has moved back to her Massachusetts day school after a stint in London. The plot in All You Need 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, oh, who 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 250-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.
