From the author of the instant New York Times bestseller
I Hope This Doesn't Find You, Never Thought I'd End
Up Here is another hilarious and romantic romcom from Ann
Liang, this time following a former model determined to get revenge
on the boy who ruined her life.
Leah Zhang has spent her whole life in LA - it's all she's ever
known. That is until her parents grow tired of her broken Mandarin
and zero regard for etiquette, and send her on an intensive two-week
travel program across China.
There's a competition running throughout the program where the
winning duo will receive a glowing letter of recommendation to the
college of their dreams. Leah is forced to partner up with her
former classmate and least favourite person ever: cynical, sarcastic
Cyrus, who's somehow only gotten more annoyingly handsome.
But the deeper they wander into China's provinces, the deeper
Leah finds herself falling in love - with the boy she thought she
despised, the home she never thought she'd call her own, and the
parts of herself she thought were already lost.
