Love in English / Maria E. Andreu. - First edition. - 328 pages ; 22 cm
Feeling blocked after moving from Argentina to New Jersey, a sixteen-year-old poet finds herself torn between a cute American boy in her math class and a Greek student who understands the struggles she is facing in an ESL class. Ana moved to New Jersey from Argentina for her Junior year of high school. She's a poet and a lover of language-- except that now, she can barely understand what's going on around her, let alone find the words to express how she feels in the language she's expected to speak. Then she meets Harrison, the very cute, very American boy in her math class. And then there's her new friend Neo, the Greek boy she's partnered up with in ESL class, who she bonds with over the 80s teen movies they are assigned to watch for class, and Altagracia, her artistic and Instagram-fabulous friend, who thankfully is fluent in Spanish and able to help her settle into American high school. As her father accuses Ana of becoming too American, what does it mean when her feelings for Harrison and Neo start to change?
