Perfect for fans of John Green and Rainbow Rowell, Love and Other Foreign Words is equal parts comedy and coming of age–a whip-smart, big-hearted, laugh-out-loud love story about sisters, friends, and what it means to love at all.
Can anyone be truly herself–or truly in love–in a language that’s not her own?
Sixteen-year-old Josie lives her life in translation. She speaks High School, College, Friends, Boyfriends, Break-ups, and even the language of Beautiful Girls. But none of these is her native tongue — the only people who speak that are her best friend Stu and her sister Kate. So when Kate gets engaged to an epically insufferable guy, how can Josie see it as anything but the mistake of a lifetime? Kate is determined to bend Josie to her will for the wedding; Josie is determined to break Kate and her fiancé up. As battles are waged over secrets and semantics, Josie is forced to examine her feelings for the boyfriend who says he loves her, the sister she loves but doesn’t always like, and the best friend who hasn’t said a word — at least not in a language Josie understands.

after reading this, i was like…
yeah, i know!*raises both hands* i feel like a smitten teenager! HAHA sorry not sorry though.
It’s just so hilariously cute, light, witty, cheesy and CLICHE with all that I’m-your-bestfriend-who’s-always-been-in-love-with-you-so-stop-overthinking-and-kiss-me shit! but who cares??? hopeless romantic here so yeah…hihihi.
LOVE AND OTHER FOREIGN WORDS is a book I recommend to fans of any young adult and contemporary authors ( and also hopeless romantics out there!!), since it offers a different take on a cliché love story — a story about a protagonist who has to translate her own foreign concepts into a language she can understand.
