    About this audiobook

    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.” 

    Editor's Note

    Cute and fun…

    Love knows no boundaries or borders, but there are plenty of barriers to language when you’re forced to speak in an unfamiliar tongue. After emigrating to New Jersey from Argentina to reunite with her dad, Ana is forced to brush up on the eccentricities of English while enduring the embarrassments of high school. “Love in English” is a cute, fun story that will have you falling for language all over again.

      Ended up being a better story than what I expected at the beginning doesn't mean it started bad just caught me off guard with how great it was ?
    • 3/5
      Nice story, well written. The audiobook though is terrible. It should have been read by someone who can speak not only Spanish but the right kind: Rioplatense. Huge failure, completely ruined the audiobook's experience.
    • 4/5
      The last quarter of this book really frustrated me. But, the ending and everything else before it was so good!
      I don't even like love triangles. But, it was a good story.
