Henry Copper (Sam Claflin) is a rather traditional, uptight English author of romance stories, that focus on love, but are restrained in terms of passion. Unfortunately his one published book is not selling, and he is somewhat lost as what to do.[1] However, his publisher Jen (Lucy Punch) contacts him to tell him that his book is now in fact selling... in one country, Mexico, and that he needs to go there to push the book on a three city book signing tour.[2]
Quickly getting his things together he flies the next day to be met by the translator of the book, Maria (Verónica Echegui) who takes him on a tour in her car with the Mexican publisher Pedro (Horacio Villalobos) and her son and grandfather. Henry attends the first book signing, which is incredibly popular, but Henry is confused about people's reactions, and because everyone is talking about sex. Despite her best efforts to mislead him, including mistranslating people's conversation to tone down the content, Henry finds out that Maria has not just translated the book; she has re-written it completely, transforming it into a passionate sexy romance novel, which is why it is so popular.[3]
Henry is distressed, but has to continue with the book tour. As time goes by, he comes to grip with the fact the book is in fact better with her contribution, while she has to deal with the fact that his name is also contributing to the book's success. A romance grows between the two, though Antonio (Maria's ex played by Horacio Garcia Rojas) tries to interfere.[2] The publisher contacts Henry and tells him that he has 10 weeks to complete a new book, and he needs to work with Maria.[3]
The two work together, and eventually have a romantic night together. However, after some interference from Antonio, Henry becomes jealous and returns to the UK. Henry eventually realizes he loves Maria, and returns to a book signing event in Mexico. He has arranged for both their names to be on the cover, so that now she is billed as co-author. At the booksigning event, despite some unsuccessful interference from the passionate Antonio, Henry reveals his true feelings for her, and their relationship is re-kindled. The film finishes with Maria becoming an author in her own right, now writing her own novels, although they are still together.[3]
Ted Ottaviano became friends and started writing songs with Susan Ottaviano while attending high school together in Connecticut.[10] Despite sharing the same last name, they are not related, though their family ancestries trace back to the same small southern Italian village.[10] After high school, Susan Ottaviano moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to attend the Philadelphia College of Art.[10] While at art college, Susan met Jade Lee and they formed a band named Head Cheese with friend Celeste Ries.[8] In July 1981, Head Cheese recorded their first songs at the recording studio Third Story with producer David Javelosa.[11] A 7\" record was released on Burn Potential Records including three songs, A-sides: \"Teenage Idol\" and \"Non-Melodic\", and B-side \"Jungle Jam\", which has been described as \"an offbeat love song to the city of Philly.\"[11][12] Ted Ottaviano, a commuting member of Head Cheese, was one of the executive producers, co-wrote \"Non-Melodic\" with Susan, and also did photography for the record sleeve.[11] While Susan Ottaviano was in Philadelphia at art college, Ted Ottaviano was attending the School of Visual Arts in New York City, where he met Lauren Roselli.[10] For a time, the band was a long-distance creative project between Philadelphia and New York City.[8] Book of Love was officially formed in May 1983.[13]
The band name Book of Love is taken from the song \"The Book of Love\" by The Monotones.[8] Ted Ottaviano has stated, \"It's not that we had a love for that song at all, it's just the imagery worked for us. Especially at that time, when we started Book of Love early to mid-'80s, there was kind of a throwback to a lot of romanticism and we were really into that. We nicked the band name from that song, that's for sure.\"[8]
The third and final single taken from the album was \"Witchcraft\" and released July 15, 1989. It was the only single from the album that failed to make the Billboard charts.[37] The track samples the classic 1960s TV series Bewitched,[37] and also contains a chant of names of the witches/characters from the show ... \"Enchantra, Endora, Tabitha, Esmerelda, Clara, Hagatha\". The song features quirky deadpan rap-style vocals from Susan Ottaviano, Jade Lee, and Lauren Roselli, incanting the ingredients for a love potion.[37] When performing the song on the Lullaby Tour, the band donned witches' hats, making it a fan favorite of the band's live shows.[18]
The first single taken from the record was \"Alice Everyday\", released before the album in January 1991, and features sing-song vocals and a refrain consisting of a laundry list of girls' names. The title of the song \"Alice Everyday\" is an actual real name of a woman from the 1800s that Ted Ottaviano came across while collecting girls names in a notebook.[45] In the dance clubs, the song was a moderate hit, and made it to no. 21 on the Hot Dance Club Play Chart, spending nine weeks on the chart.[3] A promotional video was shot and released for \"Alice Everyday\" by director Rocky Schenck. There are two versions of the video, one that uses the album version of \"Alice Everyday\" and the other, the 'Everyday Glo Mix' version of the song. The video emulates the Candy Carol album cover, showing the band dancing and performing inside of snow globes, wearing outfits similar to the album cover.
Before the album release, the band released the first single \"Boy Pop\" in May 1993, a dance track and ode to gay men, with its lyric of \"brother love ... across the nation ... on the bottom or the top, when we go, we go pop ... boys united cannot be divided ...\". The song became a huge club hit, peaking at no. 4 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.[3] A promotional video was shot showing the band at a club/bar and many muscular fit dancers.
On June 13, 2013, the band posted on their Facebook page announcing that Book of Love is working on new material during the summer of 2013, and will play new songs during their fall tour dates in California.[9]
Susan Ottaviano attended the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park and the Institute of Culinary Education in NYC.[63] She is a respected and sought after food stylist and recipe developer that is known for \"her creative and painterly approach to food.\"[63] Her work has been described as \"modern, fresh and effortlessly composed.\"[63] She has styled food for ads by Macy's, Godiva, Post Foods, Kraft Foods, and also various cookbooks.[63] Her work appeared in magazines such as Bon Appétit, Cooking Light, Men's Health, Every Day with Rachael Ray, and Oprah Magazine.[63]
Lauren Roselli married and became Lauren Johnson.[8] She continued with acting roles and appeared in the films Philadelphia in 1993, Beloved in 1998, and The Manchurian Candidate in 2004.[44] She is a mother and continues to pursue her art through photography and video as well as contribute to the music of The Myrmidons.[8][65]
In the mid-2000s, former Book of Love band members Ted Ottaviano and Lauren (Roselli) Johnson formed a new band called The Myrmidons, a reference to the name of a mythical race of ant people.[66] They recruited former singer and guitarist of The Prissteens, Lori Lindsay, an acquaintance of Lauren (Roselli) Johnson, because she was a \"musical kindred spirit.\"[65] The sound of The Myrmidons is a modern throwback to the 1960s pop idiom, and showcases a love for melodies, chords, and bells.[65] In a 2013 podcast interview, Ted Ottaviano described The Myrmidons as a \"'90s band\", and a branch off the tree of the 1990s post-punk/electronic bands such as Garbage and Elastica, leading up through the new millennia on the cusp of The Strokes.[8] The Myrmidons have released four EPs, and nine original songs total.

Parents need to know that Book of Love is a British-Mexican romantic comedy with some mild sexual references and suggestive behavior, and occasional strong language. The movie involves a classic odd couple storyline. Henry Copper (Sam Claflin) is a British author on a book tour of Mexico, who discovers his book has been rewritten by his translator, Maria (Veronica Echegui). The romantic scenes include kissing, hugging, and the implication of sex, as well as partial nudity on book covers and the reading aloud of sexy passages. There is some use of \"f--k\" and \"ass,\" but this is only on occasion. The movie includes fleeting reference to the death of parents as well as a dead dog. Characters are seen drinking alcohol in bars but never to excess. There are some stereotypes. Henry is very much in the mould of a stoic Englishman who refuses to show emotion. While Maria is depicted as having a fiery temper, although she can also be seen as a strong female role model. Though predictable in places and sticking closely to a generic romcom structure, the movie is charming and has frequent moments of humor that will likely appeal to teens and adults alike.
