Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Love and Other Foreign Words
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.

Josie is me. I am Josie. Where has this book been all my life?? ❤❤❤I get the appeal for this book. I do. It's well-written, it's got snappy dialogue, and some good insights that teens will eat up. If one has never read a solid YA novel, this is an okay introduction to genre conventions. For anybody else, run. The problem is: the author is emulating more popular YA novels without understanding why they worked. McCahan's novel has a sprawling world, a well-drawn family, loads of honest characters, a long period of in-story time for the plot to develop, and a

Because as soon as you stop speaking the native language of the group, you stop being one of the group. And then you're just alone, no matter who you're with. (view spoiler)[I'm not sure if it's because I misread the blurb, because I actually studied sociolinguistics back in Uni or because it's simply that
