I Hope This Doesn't Find You

Sadie doesn't have to hold back in her email drafts because nobody
will ever read them ... that is, until someone sends them out.

Seventeen-year-old Sadie Wen is perfect on paper. It’s a
reputation she’s fought hard to earn at the highly prestigious
Woodvale Academy, and one she’s determined to maintain
until graduation.


The trick to keeping her model-student-smile plastered on her
face at all times? She channels all her petty frustrations into her
email drafts. One for the 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.
But most of her vehemently-worded emails are for her smug, infuriating
co-captain, Julius Gong, who’s been the sharpest 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...
