Love’s just about to start her senior year.  She’s feeling nostalgic and thinking deeply of all the last firsts passing her
by.  Love’s also trying to cope with dorm life after living with her father.

Love’s focused on her writing and wonders if she’s got what it takes to be a writer.  She’s dying to get into a super-
exclusive writing class, but first she has to write a short story that will change the professor’s mind.  

Now that Love’s found her family and is sorting out those relationships, she’s starting to focus on her love life.  
LESSONS IN LOVE forces Love to ask herself questions about her relationship with Charlie and also her feelings for
Jacob. In asking so many questions, Love forgets to live in the moment, especially as it’s not the moment she’s
imagined.

Emily Franklin writes another thought-provoking episode in the saga of Love.
