Sixteen-year-old Ana has just moved to New Jersey from Argentina for her Junior year of high school. Shes a poet and a lover of languageexcept that now, she can barely understand whats going on around her, let alone find the words to express how she feels in the language shes expected to speak. All Ana wants to do is go homeuntil she meets Harrison, the very cute, very American boy in her math class. And then theres her new friend Neo, the Greek boy shes partnered up with in ESL class, who she bonds with over the 80s teen movies they are assigned to watch for class (but later keep watching together for fun), and Altagracia, her artistic and Instagram-fabulous friend, who thankfully is fluent in Spanish and able to help her settle into American high school.
