“Graduate student Raina Sun is trying to keep her head above water as the bills roll in when her dashing college adviser cons her out of several months of rent. But her quest to get her money back sets into a motion a streak of bad luck.”
Anne R. Tan, Raining Men and Corpses

“I love these smarty pants phones. I’m sending out an SOS on Facebook for a secret meeting later this evening at the center. You’ll have to bake me cookies since we’re fighting for your cause.”
Anne R. Tan, Raining Men and Corpses

“You don’t have to figure out your life’s purpose every time you pick your belly button lint. Just find a passion and pursue it with reckless abandon. When that runs out, find another passion.”
Anne R. Tan, Murky Passions and Scandals
