Love and Other Foreign Words- by Erin McCahan.

Definitely loved this book. Josie is super smart but she's not smug about it, not too smug anyway. She sees things differently- she has nailed it when saying how when people talk to each other they are speaking a different language. Like the way you talk to you parents is different than when you are talking to your best friend or a teacher or someone you just met. I feel that way all the time.. and i share the same realization that sometimes you forget who you are or think maybe you don't even know. She doesn't understand love and thinks she loves her teacher. She also has two best friends who she grew up with across the street a brother and sister, people who know her better than anyone. She has two older sisters and one is getting married, the one she's closest to and she hates the fiance who is very similar to the way she is; quirky and smart and having to have things his way. We follow Josie over the course of about 8 months and fall in love with her voice as she finds out what love really is
