YA Fiction: LOVE and other foreign words

Love and other foreign words
Erin McCahan
Speak, 2014

This young adult novel came to my hands when I ordered online for the autobio of Jackie Chan. Of course, I love the title. 

Anything about words capture me. And the author did not fail me in grabbing her book though the age-appropriateness (or mental or emotional appropriateness) of this book is just so far behind me. 

I enjoyed the book though I got the ending early on because as I said, I am far ahead for this kind. 

There are finest points in the book dissecting  "language of all sorts" that only a teenager like Josie can come up with which I wanted to quote here but I rather not because they are the icing to this piece. 

Coming-of-age, over-thinking, experiencing love and lost friendships, STYX (No, I'm more of Bread person).

This is a warm read for a day.
