The Friend Zone Experiment

By Zen Cho
The Friend Zone Experiment by Zen Cho digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

From the renowned, award-winning author Zen Cho comes a delightfully funny romance about family, class, and love in modern London.

From the outside, Renee Goh’s life looks perfect. She’s thirty and beautiful, runs a glamorous—and profitable—women’s clothing company in London, and is dating a hot Taiwanese pop star.

But Renee is lonely. Estranged from her family in Singapore, she practically lives at the office, and now she’s just been dumped by her supposed boyfriend. Who she never saw anyway, so why is she ruining her Instagram-ready makeup by crying?

Before she can curl up on the couch with a pint of Ben & Jerry’s, Renee’s father calls. He’s retiring, and, thanks to the screw-ups of her wastrel brothers, he is considering her as the next CEO of the family business: Chahaya Group, one of the largest conglomerates in Southeast Asia. That stamp of her father’s approval would mean everything to Renee, but can she cooperate with the brothers who drove her out of Singapore?

But fate isn’t done with her. That same night, Renee bumps into her first love, Yap Ket Siong, who broke her heart during university. They spend a wonderful night together, but Ket Siong is pursuing a dangerous vengeance for his family. In the light of day is there any hope for the two of them?

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“Overall nice feel good story about second chances. I thought it was cute. Liked it a lot! 🥰”
Change and growBeautifulBeautifully-written
Slightly Smiling Face“It was a moderate read for me, overall. The characters are nice and a boss girl FMC was certainly a treat. But the book could be crisper - at 341 pages it felt a little dragged on.”
LikeableRealisticEasy to read
“Renee, from a wealthy Singaporean family, moves to London to distance herself and grow her business. Ket Siong, along with his brother and mother, also relocates to London after their friend Stephen is kidnapped while protesting a company’s attempt to destroy an ancient Malaysian rainforest. Renee and Ket Siong, who had a brief fling ten years ago in university, haven’t stopped thinking about each other. They reconnect in London and gradually find their way back into each other's lives. Their romance unfolds gently, as they support one another—Renee in her competition to lead the family business (with a touch of Succession drama) and Ket Siong in his desperate search for Stephen. There’s some light miscommunication along the way, but nothing too frustrating, and the ending is perfectly delightful. Overall, it’s an enjoyable read that would be great for the beach, though it didn’t quite make its way into my list of favorites. Thank you NetGalley and publishers for this free eARC!”
