DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING
A fiercely feminist, super sweet YA romance about a girl gamer with a secret identity who runs into her online gaming partner IRL when she transfers to his school.
Seventeen-year-old Kiki Siregar is a fabulous gamer girl with confidence to boot. She can't help but be totally herself... except when she's online.
Her secret? She plays anonymously as a guy to avoid harassment from other male players. Even her online best friend - a cinnamon roll of a teen boy who plays under the username Sourdawg - doesn't know her true identity. Which is fine, because Kiki doesn't know his real name either, and it's not like they're ever going to cross paths IRL.
Until she transfers to an elite private school for her senior year and discovers that Sourdawg goes there, too.
But who is he? How will he react when he finds out Kiki's secret? And what happens when Kiki realizes she's falling for her online BFF?
DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING is a wonderfully sweet romance, with a deeply felt feminist core, as Kiki fights to be treated equally to her male peers - both online and in her very traditional school.
Jesse Q. Sutanto is the bestselling author of Dial A for Aunties, Four Aunties and a Wedding, The Obsession, The New Girl, Theo Tan and the Fox Spirit, Theo Tan and the Iron Fan, Well That Was Unexpected, Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers, and I'm Not Done With You Yet. The film rights to her women's fiction, Dial A for Aunties, were bought by Netflix in a competitive bidding war. Jesse lives in Indonesia with her husband, her two daughters, and her ridiculously large extended family.
