Never Thought I'd End Up Here New Get 20% OFF across the Scholastic Shop by Ann Liang (author)

From the author of the instant New York Times bestseller I Hope This Doesn’t Find You, Never Thought I’d End Up Here is 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.
