Seventeen-year-old Sadie Wen is a perfect student at the highly prestigious Woodvale Academy, known for her reputation and determination to maintain it until graduation. However, behind her model-student-smile, she channels her petty frustrations into her email drafts, using them as an outlet for her anger and resentment. One for her 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, and most of all, one for her smug, infuriating co-captain, Julius Gong, who has been a 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. Perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Crazy Rich Asians, "I HOPE THIS DOESN'T FIND YOU" is gorgeously page-turning and endlessly readable. It is perfect for BookTok and the Netflix generation, who will appreciate the relatable characters, witty dialogue, and heartwarming romance.

Sadie's life is turned upside down when her email drafts are accidentally sent to the entire school. She is mortified and embarrassed, knowing that her secrets are now public knowledge. But as she tries to navigate the aftermath, she realizes that her emails have had a unintended effect on those around her. Julius, who had always been dismissive of Sadie, is now intrigued by her and wants to get to know her better. And the girl who copied Sadie's science project, who had been bullied by her for years, is now feeling guilty and ashamed for her actions.

As Sadie tries to rebuild her relationships and find a way to move forward, she discovers that her email drafts have given her a voice that she never had before. She uses her words to stand up for herself and to advocate for others who have been marginalized or mistreated. She realizes that her anger and frustration can be a powerful tool for change, and that she doesn't have to hold back in her email drafts because nobody will ever read them.

"I HOPE THIS DOESN'T FIND YOU" is a powerful and uplifting story that celebrates the power of words, the importance of standing up for yourself, and the ability to change the world with a single email. It is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt like they don't have a voice, or who has ever been underestimated or mistreated.
