Sypnosis (from Goodreads):
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.
My Review -- 4.2/5 stars!:
You know when you what to read a love story but with a nerdy touch? Well this book is for you. This contemporary is perfect to fit that category. Josie is nerdy. She speaks every language -- fashion, school, boyfriends, break ups, but the only language that she does not speak is Love. The battle is real. This novel is told in the perspective of Josie. I think most people could relate to this story. Being in love at the age of 16. I love this story. I liked there were so many clues on how he likes her and I couldn't catch it.
She confused a crush with love. She did not realize what she was falling for until her sister told her to stop. I loved Stu's character. He's like my favourite fictional character at the moment.
I did not like how she was so disgusted in a way with Geoff. Certain times in the book, I would stop and say, "Give the guy a chance". Geoff is Katie's (her sister) finance. Her sister is so nice and calm and trying to get Josie to understand why Geoff is a good guy for her.
I also did not like how sometimes, like one or two times, she was self-centred. She would say that she is the one that needs to decide for the love life of her sister's. It was little things like that, that kind of made her character annoying and that's why I gave it a 4.2 stars.
In the end, it was a happy ending. I was really happy with the end. My heart melted when I saw who she actually ended up with.
