Love in English

By Maria E. Andreu

Book Overview

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."
