The Ann Liang Modern Romance Library (8 Books)

The Ann Liang “Worlds of Heart” Summary

This diverse set showcases Liang’s versatility across the YA genre. The collection includes her breakout debut, If You Could See the Sun, where a scholarship student at an elite Beijing boarding school discovers she can turn invisible and uses the power to monetize her classmates’ secrets. It also features her popular contemporary romances: This Time It’s Real, a story about a fake relationship that feels increasingly genuine, and I Hope This Doesn’t Find You, which explores the chaos that ensues when a “perfect” student’s private, scathing emails are accidentally sent to the whole school.

The set further explores her darker and more lyrical works with I Am Not Jessica Chen, a psychological thriller about identity, and A Song to Drown Rivers, a historical fantasy inspired by ancient Chinese legend. Rounding out the collection is the adventurous Never Ever Getting Back Together and the soulful I Could Give You the Moon. Together, these novels examine themes of belonging, ambition, and the complexities of first love.
