Vanessa Chan

Hi I'm Vanessa! I write books, and my first novel The Storm We Made was an international bestseller and published in over 20 languages. I've got another novel in the works, as well as a short story collection, The Ugliest Babies in the World, queued for publication.

I read across genres and use Goodreads to track my books. If I love a book to death, I rate it 5 stars. I don't really write a ton of reviews, but if I do, it means the book foundationally altered my brain chemistry.
