I Hope This Doesn't Find You

A gorgeous own-voices love story with a twist - now with

an additional swoony story set during a trip to California!

Seventeen-year-old Sadie Wen is perfect on paper.

It's a reputation she's fought hard to earn at the highly prestigious

Woodvale Academy, and one she's determined to maintain

until graduation.

The trick to keeping her model-student-smile plastered on her

face at all times? She channels all her petty frustrations into her

email drafts.

One for the math teacher who refused to round her eighty-nine-point-nine

percent up to ninety;

one for the girl who blatantly copied her science project and

took the credit for it.

But most of her vehemently-worded emails are for her smug, infuriating

co-captain, Julius Gong, who's been the sharpest thorn in

her side ever since they were kids.

Sadie never meant for these emails to get out

... but now her whole life is about to change...

From the author of THIS TIME IT'S REAL comes another

own-voices love story with a high-concept twist, now with a brand-new

sequel story that also features Julius's POV!

Perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Crazy Rich Asians,

this is a romance that is pure serotonin

Gorgeously page-turning and endlessly readable, I HOPE THIS

DOESN'T FIND YOU is perfect for BookTok and the Netflix generation
