I Hope This Doesn't Find You

By: Ann Liang

Narrated by: Alice Wen

Sadie Wen is perfect on paper: school captain, valedictorian, and a "pleasure to have in class." It's not easy, but she has a trick to keep her model-student smile plastered on her face at all times: she channels all her frustrations into her email drafts. She'd never send them of course—she'd rather die than hurt anyone's feelings—but it's a relief to let loose on her power-hungry English teacher or a freeloading classmate taking credit for Sadie's work.

All her most vehemently worded emails are directed at her infuriating cocaptain, Julius Gong, whose arrogance and competitive streak have irked Sadie since they were kids. "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 . . ."

Sadie doesn't have to hold back in her emails, because nobody will ever read them . . . that is, until they're accidentally sent out.

Overnight, Sadie's carefully crafted, conflict-free life is turned upside down. It's her worst nightmare—now everyone at school knows what she really thinks of them, and they're not afraid to tell her what they really think of her either. But amidst the chaos, there's one person growing to appreciate the "real" Sadie—Julius, the only boy she's sworn to hate . . . .

The ENDING

This book is the definition of short and sweet I love this book I am not much of a reader but I could not let this one go!

I loved the characters so so much.

I loved sadie mostly because i relate to her so much. I also loved that the story wasnt like unrealistic, i find that a lot of enemies to lovers books/movies are very unrealistic. Overall amazing book!

Sweet story

This book reminds me of a high school kdrama. It was very sweet. It had a great enemy to romantic partner storyline.

Almost perfect

The story was interesting and cute. Everything was good except the ending. It was kinda abrupt and I needed an epilogue or some peak in the future.
The narrator was amazing.

Talk about a push and pull

This is one of the most compelling rivals to lovers I have ever seen. I do want to mention I love to see character grow.

Such a cute funny story

Loved the characters, the banter, the animosity.
They are so head over heels for each other.
The emotional depth is so touching, enjoyed it so much

Academic Rivals to Lovers

This book was so fun! Following Julius and Sadie’s story made me want to jump through the pages and shake them! This book is the perfect academic rivals to lovers, and ends in the most heart fluttering way. I loved the narrator, the perfect voice for Sadie!! This book gives such To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before vibes, but is such a different story! Overall amazing!!!

Kinda disappointing…

It was a cute story, just felt a little cheesy and cliche. Kinda boring. I feel like so much more could’ve been done with the plot. Main characters life wasn’t all that affected by her emails being leaked imo. Idk just a bit of a let down

THE ENDING

I caught myself screaming every other chapter, it was SO GOOD. It wasnt like a forced romance either, it was an easy into Sadie slowly realizing her true feelings. AND THE ENDING??? OMG I CANT

A simple review

Love it, so sweet, cute, perfect for each other, good storytelling, good story, great voice!
