DESCRIPTION

An instant NEW YORK TIMES bestseller, I Hope This Doesn’t Find You by Ann Liang is a young adult romance that combines humor with heartfelt moments. Fans of Never Have I Ever and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before will find I Hope This Doesn’t Find You by Ann Liang to be a refreshing twist on the genre, imagining what it would be like if Lara Jean wrote hate emails instead of love letters.

In I Hope This Doesn’t Find You, Sadie Wen seems perfect: she’s the school captain, valedictorian, and praised as a “pleasure to have in class.” Despite this, Sadie vents her frustrations in private email drafts—never intended to be sent—about her power-hungry English teacher and a classmate who takes credit for her work.

Her most intense emails are aimed at her co-captain, Julius Gong, whose arrogance and competitiveness have bothered Sadie since childhood. In one email, she writes, “You’re attention-starved and self-obsessed and unbearably vain… I really hope your comb breaks and you run out of whatever expensive hair products you’ve been using to make your hair appear deceptively soft…”

When these emails are accidentally sent, Sadie’s world is upended. The carefully maintained image she presented is shattered, and her peers react with harsh honesty. Amid the chaos, Julius begins to see the real Sadie, leading to an unexpected development in this engaging young adult romance by Ann Liang.
