Seoul, Korea.
In this glittering city where the latest trends are born, Melody finds herself swept away by luxury, romance, and family drama... but is this a place she could ever call home?
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 Seoulâimmediately! 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 Koreaâtrendsetting 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...
Claire Ahn's charming debut 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.

What reviewers said
"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 âhome.â 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."
"I Guess I Live Here Now takes you on a glam romp through Seoulâby way of family secrets, sweet romance, and surprising self-discovery. Like the very best K-drama bottled up in a book."
"Claire Ahn brings a fresh, charming voice to this enthralling page-turner of a debut. I Guess I Live Here Now absolutely blew me away!"
âKody Keplinger, New York Times bestselling author of The DUFF and That's Not What Happened
"A vibrant love letter to Seoul and a poignant coming-of-age story. Claire Ahnâs writing is fresh, funny, and heartfeltâI adored every page of Melodyâs (mis)adventures. A new favorite!"
"Ahn has transported me completely to a light-filled world full of exciting possibilities. What a perfect joy this book is during a time where most of us aren't able to travel. I did not want to leave Seoul or Melody's delightful company!"
"I Guess I Live Here Now is a breath of fresh air that transports readers to the new and lively world Melody finds herself inâfiguratively and literally. A sweet exploration of who and what 'home' really is."
