 This story was just simply beautiful.Vera Miles is a twenty-three year old Canadian wild child. Embarking on an adventure during a summer break, she travels to Spain with a program that teaches conversational English to native Spanish speakers. There she meets Mateo, a wealthy, older, married Spanish businessman. On the outside, the tattooed redhead and the athlete-turned-restaurateur have nothing in common, not even the language they speak. Yet in each other they find a mirror of their soul. 
 Vera begins the book by characterizing herself as the villain in her story, but in actuality, there are no villains here. There are no evil characters or malicious actions. There are just people following their hearts to find happiness while at the same time trying not to hurt those around them. 
 The relationship that built between Mateo and Vera is one that grew slowly and solidly. Neither of them take any of their actions lightly, and it is impossible to not adore both Vera and Mateo. Vera is open, brash and unapologetic, but a complete contradiction in that she seems to feel that she doesn't deserve happiness. Mateo, on the other hand, is passionate, caring, and so honest with his emotions that you really feel that they deserve to be with one another. I literally ugly-cried when reading this book, because the feelings and reactions were so real. 
 Love, In English was as lush and sultry as the Spanish countryside in which it is set. It was truly a love story, not only between Vera and Mateo, but with the other people that Vera came to know and care about on her journey. It shows that despite outwards differences, people are more alike on the inside than they may think. That we deserve to find happiness. And that if we don't like the world in which we are living, we need to simply create a new universe filled with the people we love that love us in return. 
 And that now I need to take a trip to Madrid...
