REVIEWS:  
“I have been struggling to find words to best describe this book. It is a time in the life of a student when they are at a crossroads; the want to pursue studies in a different country in hopes that it would kickstart their future, but the long wait for the results of their application, and the life that goes on in between.
     I am jealous that Erica has managed to do so with this novel. Fried Rice encapsulates uncertainties of growing up that were in all of us at one point in time, and assures us that we are not alone.”
— Cheeming Boey, author of the When I was a Kid series.

“Fresh and un-clichéd.”
— Reimena Yee, Eisner, and McDuffie nominated author 
of The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya, 
Séance Tea Party, My Aunt is a Monster, 
The World in Deeper Inspection and 
Alexander, the Servant and the Water of Life.
