Juicy, delightful and brimming with cultural specificity, I Guess I Live Here Now is an endlessly charming exploration of what happens when immigrant parents make good on the threat of sending a wayward Americanized kid “home.” And what happens when that home features explosively fast internet, shopping trips, transcendent snacks and cute boys galore. A dazzling, utterly swoonful romp that artfully navigates identity and place. This book has all the Korean elements your soul craves and desires. I absolutely devoured this.
Mary H. K. Choi, New York Times bestselling author of Emergency Contact and Yolk
In the glittering city of Seoul, South Korea, a young teen finds herself swept away by luxury, romance, and family drama … but the shine soon starts to wear off and cultural challenges begin to bubble to the surface.

“A dazzling, utterly swoon-worthy romp that artfully navigates identity and place. This book has all the Korean elements your soul craves and desires.”—Mary H. K. Choi, New York Times bestselling author of Emergency Contact

Thanks to a tiny transgression after school one day, Melody is 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 had the chance to say goodbye to her best friend before she’s on a plane, Melody is resentful and homesick.

But she soon finds herself settling into their super-luxe villa, 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 explore the city with. Life in Seoul is amazing, until cracks begin to form on its glittering surface …

I Guess I Live Here Now lets you hear every beat of a K-pop bop, taste every savory bite of Korean barbecue, bathe in the glow of Seoul’s neon lights, and feel every high and low of Melody’s emotional journey across the world and within her heart.
