Omschrijving

A fresh, joyful YA novel that is layered with themes of immigration, cultural identity, and finding your voice in any language.

Sixteen-year-old Ana is a poet and a lover of language. Except that since she moved to New Jersey from Argentina, she can barely find the words to express how she feels.

At first Ana just wants to return home. Then she meets Harrison, the very cute, very American boy in her math class, and discovers the universal language of racing hearts. But when she begins to spend time with Neo, the Greek Cypriot boy from ESL, Ana wonders how figuring out what her heart wants can be even more confusing than the grammar they're both trying to master. After all, the rules of English may be confounding, but there are no rules when it comes to love.

With playful and poetic breakouts exploring the idiosyncrasies of the English language, Love in English is witty and effervescent, while telling a beautifully observed story about what it means to become "American."

What happens when the heart speaks a language that defies translation?

Finding Your Voice: Ana was a poet in Argentina, but in New Jersey, she can barely ask for the bathroom. This is a heartfelt story about rediscovering who you are when you don't have the words.
First Love--or Two?: There's Harrison, the all-American boy who makes her heart race, and Neo, the boy from ESL class who truly understands her struggle.
An Immigrant Story: A fresh and authentic look at the challenges and joys of moving to a new country, from navigating the school cafeteria to figuring out what it means to be "American."
For Lovers of Language: Full of witty and poetic passages that explore the hilarious, confusing, and beautiful quirks of the English language.
