Book of Love centres on a young, uptight English writer called Henry (Sam Claflin) whose novel is a total failure. However, a small miracle happens when the book becomes a surprise hit in Mexico. But when he is invited to the country to promote it, he soon discovers why it’s so popular— his Spanish translator Maria (Verónica Echegui) has rewritten his boring book as an erotic novel, leaving him furious. While he and Maria go on a book tour together, opposites attract as sparks fly between the pair.
Is there a trailer?
Yes! In the trailer, as the pair embark on a book tour, it turns out Maria’s meddling with his book could be a good thing as we realise just how popular his book has become and we see Henry opening up and falling in love with Maria surrounded by the culture of Mexico.
