"Leah Zhang is not the perfect daughter, not by her family’s standards, anyway. She’s sarcastic, emotionally messy and disconnected from her roots, and she barely speaks Mandarin. So her desperate parents send her to China to “fix” her attitude. What they (and she) don’t count on is that Leah’s childhood bully is on the same trip. As Leah stumbles her way through culture shock, complicated feelings and maybe even a little growth, the walls she has built start to crumble. Never Thought I’d End Up Here is a funny, raw and quietly gutting teen romance in all the best ways."
