Description
Sixteen-year-old Ana has just moved to New Jersey from Argentina for her Junior year of high school. Sheโs a poet and a lover of languageโexcept that now, she can barely understand whatโs going on around her, let alone find the words to express how she feels in the language sheโs expected to speak.All Ana wants to do is go homeโuntil she meets Harrison, the very cute, very American boy in her math class. And then thereโs her new friend Neo, the Greek boy sheโs partnered up with in ESL class, who she bonds with over the 80s teen movies they are assigned to watch for class (but later keep watching together for fun), and Altagracia, her artistic and Instagram-fabulous friend, who thankfully is fluent in Spanish and able to help her settle into American high school.
But is it possible that sheโs becoming too Americanโas her father accusesโand what does it mean when her feelings for Harrison and Neo start to change? Ana will spend her year learning that 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 tells a story that is simultaneously charming and romantic, while articulating a deeper story about what it means to become โAmerican.โ ISBN:9780062996510
