Thessa Lim is a Filipina writer of new adult fiction. After growing up in the bustling city of Iloilo and working as an IT consultant in Metro Manila, she relocated to Singapore. While her linguistic repertoire includes Hiligaynon, Bisaya, and Tagalog, she only writes in English. Her paltry Singlish vocabulary consists of lah, leh, and ayo. She moved to Sydney, Australia, recently, where she looks forward to café-hopping while working on her next book.

With her writing, Thessa wants to inspire ladies with themes of family, friendship, and love.

In her spare time, she reads, takes a dip in the sea, or travels with her family.

While the YA genre comprises of books where the main character is aged 12-18, NA's main character would be somewhere 18-25. It refers to that time in between YA and adult. There is also a popular notion that YA books with more mature content or gore fall under NA, but I prefer to stick to the definition by the MC's age. There are NA books that are considered sweet or clean reads, and some that would have explicit sexual content. I hope this helps!(less)

Quotes by Thessa Lim  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“These four ladies [in the Of Heads and Hearats series] have different passions in life: family, society, career, God, love. I wanted to capture these different aspects, because these are all together what it means to be Filipino, I think. To have grown up in a country where there’s urbanization but there are [at the same time] also traditional ways of thinking, a strong sense of religion, financial inequalities, a mix of Western and Asian. There are cities and islands of different personalities. And all this is beautiful. And to be celebrated. And to be written about.”
