Why read it?

1 author picked The Friend Zone Experiment as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I've been a huge fan of Zen Cho's original, funny, smart writing for a while. This is her take on a K-Drama - my favourite TV - and it's a total delight. All the cute tropes are there, plus, of course, the complexities of love and family and politics. One of the things I love most about K-Dramas is the depth of the characters' social worlds, and here too, Cho's homage lives up to the original, as we find out about the Malaysian scandal that haunts our star-crossed lovers' efforts to find happiness in London.
