Major Characters

;Love Bukowski : The heroine of the novel. She moves to Hadley Hall at the start of the story with her father. Love proves that she isn't a typical teenage girl, due to her logical perspectives of the situations she experiences and her sense of maturity in difficult situations. She, like her aunt, has a great love for oldies and classic rock, along with a talent in singing.

;David Bukowski : Love's father and the new principal at Hadley Hall. He's very close to his daughter, and like most single fathers, tends to be slightly overprotective of his daughter from time to time.

;Aunt Mable : Love's aunt, and her father's sister, whom Love sees as her mother figure and her best friend. She has a love of music just as Love does (being the one who raised Love's interest in the first place), and owns her own cafè, "Slave to the Grind".

;Arabella Piece : An exchange student from London who first appears in the second novel of the series, "Piece, Love, and Happiness", and later becomes best friends with Love. Despite the fact that she had tried to hide it, Arabella comes from a wealthy family, considering her parents are quite famous over in Britain.

;Jacob Coleman : A mysterious boy whom Love meets during her sophomore year in her English class. At first, they don't speak much to one another, but after spending time together one night at Mable's cafè, they realize they may have had more in common than they thought, and become good friends.
