“I’m so tired of playing nice, of smiling as people walk over me. What I’m realizing is that if you’re quiet about the things that hurt you, people are only going to mistake your tolerance for permission. And they’re going to hurt you again and again.”
I might be a little biased here because Ann Liang is one of my favorite authors, but this book was so good!!! I Hope This Doesn’t Find You was an emotional yet fun journey about girlhood. I sacrificed sleep because I could not put it down and every second lost was worth it.
Sadie Wen is a high-achieving people pleaser whose email drafts containing rants towards various people suddenly become exposed to the public. Even worse, her academic rival, Julius Gong, received the forty-something emails meant for him.
Despite Sadie being a teenager, I could find myself empathizing with her especially with her people pleasing tendencies. There’s just something about Ann Liang’s books that heals teenage me, that’s why I love them so much.
