ZeroWave: A Punk / K-Pop Romance

by Chris Eng

Kettle's a gutter punk with a lot on her mind. There's the usual - stupid society, stupid roommates and a stupid boyfriend - but then there's the dawning realization that she might not be as much into four-chord, two-minute punk rock as she used to be, and that 12 pretty shiny boys singing shiny pretty pop might be more her thing. And maybe - just maybe - the hot girl with the tattoos and the pretty shiny life might be more her thing, too.

ZeroWave, the second HoodieRipper punk romance from Chris Eng, is set against the dueling, fervent fandoms of DIY punk and the glossy, complicated world of K-Pop. A sexy, thoughtful love letter to being an outsider in a scene of outsiders, ZeroWave is about finding the courage to find yourself - and your ultimate bias.

Enjoyable little romp into a brilliant punk world created by Chris Eng. Love the mix of punk and kpop. It's a unique conflict for a character to have. Interesting love triangle too. Looked up the other Chris Eng book, and have already started it. Enjoying this author. Love their details and voice. Really pulls you into the world. Want more books already!

I loved this book so hard. I really wanted more. I felt pretty much the same about Eng's first book though, so I wasn't surprised -- rather pleased that he continues to write as though he is drawing from ideas in my own head. Here's to many more Hoodie Ripper books!
