Never Thought I'd End Up Here

Ann Liang

From the author of the instant New York Timesbestseller I Hope This Doesn't Find You, Never Thought I'd End Up Hereis 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. <ul> <li>From the author of This Time It's Realand I Hope This Doesn't Find You comes another swoony, enemies-to-lovers rom com</li> <li>For fans of Jenny Han and Crazy Rich Asians</li> <li>Perfect for BookTok, Never Thought I'd End Up Hereexplores the power of choosing your own path and embracing your authentic self</li> </ul> Praise for This Time It's Real: "Eliza is an enchanting, hilarious, and vulnerable heroine...an irresistible tale by Liang." - Publishers Weekly, starred review "A sweet and emotional love story." - Booklist, starred review
