Plot Summary Set in contemporary Northeast America, Love Story (1970), a romance novel by Erich Segal, follows the trials and tribulations of a young couple's ill-fated relationship. Segal originally penned the tale as a screenplay that was picked up by Paramount Pictures, but the company requested that he also write a novel adaptation. The book was released on Valentine's Day that year, and it became the bestselling fiction book of 1970. The movie adaptation, released in December 1970, is still one of the highest grossing films of all time. Oliver Barrett IV is born of privilege. Now, in his senior year at Harvard, he is heir to his family's fortune and will soon be heading off to Harvard Law School. He is studying in the library at the school's Radcliffe campus because it is quieter and, perhaps most importantly, has more girls there. He approaches the clerk on duty for help finding a book, but she simply insults him, calling him a "preppie." He returns the insult, calling her a "cliffie," despite the fact that he is attracted to her beautiful brown eyes and long legs. He invites the girl, Jennifer Cavilleri, the daughter of a working-class Rhode Island family, out for coffee under the pretense of being able to study the book he needs. They spend the time insulting each other, yet also flirting. Oliver next invites Jenny to come to watch his hockey game. Despite the fact that they are opposites, their attraction is undeniable, yet they desperately try to convince themselves that they are not falling in love. Jenny is not like other girls, and Oliver finds that he is afraid to use his typical playboy persona on her. She sees through him in ways no one has before, and thus, he can only be real with her.Plot Summary Set in contemporary Northeast America, Love Story (1970), a romance novel by Erich Segal, follows the trials and tribulations of a young couple's ill-fated relationship.
