For fans of Never Have I Ever and Crazy Rich Asians, I Guess I Live Here Now takes readers on a journey to the place where trends are born-Seoul, Korea-where Melody Lee unwillingly moves with her family and must start a new life, a new school…and maybe a new romance. Melody always wanted to get to know the Korean side of her Korean American heritage better, but not quite like this. Thanks to a tiny transgression after school one day, she's shocked to discover that her parents have decided to move her and her mom out of New York City to join her father in Seoul-immediately! Barely having the chance to say goodbye to her best friend before their bags are packed and she's on a plane, Melody is resentful, angry, and homesick.But she soon finds herself settling into their super luxe home, meeting cool friends at school, and discovering the alluring aspects of living in Korea-trendsetting fashion, delectable food, her dad's black card, and a cute boy to hang out with. Life in Seoul is amazing…until cracks begin to form on its shiny surface. Troubling family secrets, broken friendships, and a lost passion are the prices Melody has to pay for her new life, but is it worth it? Claire Ahn's charming, effervescent debut lets you taste every bite of kalbi, bathe in the glow of Seoul's neon lights, and feel every high and low of Melody's journey across the world and within her heart.
