Praise for Love and Other Foreign Words "A story as funny,
off-beat, and warm-hearted as its heroine. I was wowed."--Huntley
Fitzpatrick, author of My Life Next Door and What I Thought Was
True "Whether happy families are all truly alike, they can
certainly have a similar effect when they appear in a novel: The
reader can't help longing to join them. This sentiment kept
recurring as I laughed my way through Erin McCahan's impossibly
winning [novel]."--The Wall Street Journal "Readers in the mood for
serious laughs need look no further than McCahan's story about
15-year-old Josie Sheridan... [whose] analytical, overthinking
narration and knack for delivering truly lacerating quips...will
have readers sticking by her side."--Publisher's Weekly, "Best
Summer Books 2014" "Josie's a rarity in teen literature, a genuine
original. Being gifted sets her apart. Armored by arch mannerisms,
trying to control what can't be controlled, wanting and fearing
love, she's one of us. Lively characters and a satisfying plot foil
reader expectations in the best possible way."--Kirkus Reviews
"Coming-of-age moments add a nice bit of heart to Josie's
journey... A quirky love story."--School Library Journal "A
true-blue lovable weirdo, [Josie is] the type of character I really
enjoy seeing... [she is] authentically herself, even when being
herself gets in her into trouble."--HelloGiggles "It's refreshing
to meet a character so cracklingly smart that you wish you could
actually buy her a coffee and just hear her jabber. That's Josie,
the main gal in the latest from McCahan.... With impeccable
clarity--and hilarity--Josie explores how magical things left
unsaid can be and how even a native tongue can be full of meaning
and surprises. This clever read will satisfy fans of Rainbow
Rowell, John Green, and Stephanie Perkins."--Booklist "Josie's a
rarity in teen literature, a genuine original. Being gifted sets
her apart. Armored by arch mannerisms, trying to control what can't
be controlled, wanting and fearing love, she's one of us. Lively
characters and a satisfying plot foil reader expectations in the
best possible way."--Kirkus Reviews
