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."
