Love From London by Emily Franklin

I liked this one more than Principles of Love. I'm really sad I didn't get to read the one in between but I managed to grasp what happened in the previous book. There was a lot more focus on Love's life and a lot less of the annoying movie set up scenes. Also I have the biggest fascination with England so I loved the culture of it all!

I don't know, it was very hard to find it within myself to care about Love and her various mishaps. Maybe it's because I read the third book without really knowing what happened in the first two (although I could sort of guess from the information in this one and I honestly don't think I missed that much) or maybe because I just didn't connect with Love as a character. At the end of the book there was an excerpt from the following book which tells us a bit more about why and what happens when Love had to suddenly return home but, again, I couldn't care about it and found myself just skimming through and eventually just skipping the whole thing altogether.

I don't think I'll be reading the fourth book since it really really really doesn't interest me what happens next. Which is a shame because I expected great things from this series.

The spirit is the same in yet another installment of Emily Franklin's fantastic Principles of Love series, but something's just a bit off about this one. While the new hints about Love's mother are certainly intriguing, they were the best part of the book. Love predictably gets another guy, and as well-developed as a character he is, in the end, he's just another one of Love's revolving door of random guys. Love's snobbish side seems to come out full-force in this one and it just wasn't the same. Something was just off, different about this book. It was annoying, really, since it's a series and one book shouldn't stick out as different from the rest of the series, but that's what this book does. Maybe if it were a stand-alone, or a companion novel, it wouldn't feel like filler. Who knows, maybe some of the filler plays a significant part in the other books and was necessary, but something tells me that isn't the case. Looking forward to obtaining All You Need is Love!
