Li is an unsparing observer of our unsparing times' Susan Choi, author of Flashlight
'A smart, engrossing, beautifully observed examination of millennial friendship, social media and generational differences' Francesca Hornak, author of So Good to See You
Diana, Justin, Errol and Vivian have been best friends for as long as they can remember. They did everything their strict parents asked: studied hard, attended good universities, only to end up back in their childhood bedrooms with no jobs in sight.
So when Grace - neighbourhood golden girl turned Harvard Law dropout - asks to make a documentary about their post-grad limbo, they agree. It's not like her little movie will ever see the light of day. Until it does. Overnight, the video goes viral, catapulting their most cringeworthy moments to internet stardom and turning private confessions into public punchlines.
Eight years later, can the video that broke them apart also bring them back together? And is it too late to build the lives they once dreamed of?
Razor-sharp and emotionally resonant, Bad Asians is a story of youth, ambition and growing up online - a moving exploration of the friendships that will always feel like home.
