Showing results for "love-" in Friendship

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 - as well as her dad, who’s got a new girlfriend, and her beloved Aunt Mable, who is fighting serious health issues - Love faces a new set of challenges across the pond: Voice lessons, keeping up with Arabella and her new friends, and falling for a Brit who is completely off limits.

It's Love's final year at Hadley Hall - has she learned all she needs to get by? Who said senior year was simple? No longer a day student at Hadley Hall, Love Bukowski's about to move into the dorms - with none other than her archenemy, Lindsay Parrish. Love must deal with Lindsay's rules as head monitor; her handsome boyfriend, Charlie, returning to Harvard; and her ex Jacob giving her the cold shoulder. On the bright side, Love has a new look, a new feel, and best of all, she's going to be reunited with her mom and half-sister, Sadie.

Plus, Mable’s created a treasure map of clues that will bring her closer to the truth about her family.

Love Bukowski is a new sophomore at Hadley Hall, the posh prep school where her father is now principal.

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.
