Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A TIME MUST-READ BOOK OF THE YEAR • From the iconic internationally bestselling author of the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy: A forbidden affair erupts volcanically amid a decadent tropical wedding in this outrageous comedy of manners. A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK: The New York Times, The Washington Post, TIME, Entertainment Weekly, Cosmopolitan, CNN, Lit Hub, Minneapolis Star Tribune, Reader's Digest, BookRiot, SheReads, PureWow, Publishers Weekly "Imagine Crazy Rich Asians mated with Saltburn and you've got Lies and Weddings—a heavenly summertime read!"—Plum Sykes, New York Times best-selling author of Bergdorf Blondes Rufus Leung Gresham, future Earl of Greshambury and son of a former Hong Kong supermodel has a problem: the legendary Gresham Trust has been depleted by decades of profligate spending, and behind all the magazine covers and Instagram stories manors and yachts lies nothing more than a gargantuan mountain of debt. The only solution, put forth by Rufus’s scheming mother, is for Rufus to attend his sister’s wedding at a luxury eco-resort, a veritable who’s-who of sultans, barons, and oligarchs, and seduce a woman with money. Should he marry Solène de Courcy, a French hotel heiress with honey blond tresses and a royal bloodline? Should he pursue Martha Dung, the tattooed venture capital genius who passes out billions like lollipops? Or should he follow his heart, betray his family, squander his legacy, and finally confess his love to the literal girl next door, the humble daughter of a doctor, Eden Tong? When a volcanic eruption burns through the nuptials and a hot mic exposes a secret tryst, the Gresham family plans—and their reputation—go up in flames. Can the once-great dukedom rise from the ashes? Or will a secret tragedy, hidden for two decades, reveal a shocking twist? In a globetrotting tale that takes us from the black sand beaches of Hawaii to the skies of Marrakech, from the glitzy bachelor pads of Los Angeles to the inner sanctums of England’s oldest family estates, Kevin Kwan unfurls a juicy, hilarious, sophisticated and thrillingly plotted story of love, money, murder, sex, and the lies we tell about them all.

    • I loved this book so much!
This book is so great! A beautifully woven story. Kevin Kwan’s writing is magic! ❤️

    • Frothy fun
Fully meeting expectations for a look at how the megarich live, this story grounds itself with a female protagonist whom you can cheer for. The author does a splendid job of doling out secrets and lies that propel the narrative to a satisfying conclusion. Some of the characters end up as caricatures (the nasty potential mother-in-law, the poor little rich kid), but those are easy to overlook as a romance blossoms that proves love is always worth more than money. ... show more

    • This was okay
Overall I liked this book and the writing but I didn’t feel the chemistry between any of the characters, especially Rufus and Eden. But, the plot did hold my attention!

    • Captivating
With vibrant, exuberant characters, this worldwide adventure was wonderfully written. I finished reading in one day. I especially loved the side notes found at the bottom of some pages. The artwork on the cover is as beautiful as it looks on the screen. While there were many characters that were infuriating, it was refreshing for so many of the characters to go beyond stereotypical tropes, and it surprised me how consistent the author maintained their characters. It was especially refreshing to see characters not be used in an unexplainable way, that goes against the character created, just to advance a storyline. I was thrilled to see the author stay so true to who they were. As entertaining as it was, it also offered an exploration of racism, wealth, and classism. It is the question: should you follow your heart? What responsibility do you owe to your family? And went to say no. ... show more

    • 3.5/5
The story barely focused on the main characters. I was a bit dissatisfied with the ending. Cliff-hanger, open-ended. But I wish the story revolved more around the main characters rather than everyone else's. Still, I'd say it was a good read!

    • Always Fun!
I always enjoy Kevin Kwan’s characters…..and the footnotes are always amusing. This was such a great bit of escapism. I couldn’t put it down.

    • Deliciously fun read
If you smile quietly at the saying, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, come sit next to me”, then you will enjoy this fun read. I consider Kwan a guilty pleasure worth indulging in and I enjoyed this book even more than some of his others. His sense of humor and his characters sweet commitment to their friends and families are what makes this over the top international romp of decadence the perfect vaca book. Fingers crossed you get to read it on a private plane and not suffering stuck in business class - or in my case the back of a minivan…. ... show more

    • Always entertaining!
I love Kevin Kwan books. The characters are so clever and the opulence is just entertaining. I love to imagine all of the fancy places Eden went to. The descriptions were mesmerizing. It was so fun to travel from Hawaii to London, LA and Venice. I’d like to imagine being one of the people who enjoys the secret places only known by the Uber rich. I would have given it a 5 but some of the social lecturing took a bit away. Other than It was such a fun read. I highly recommend if you are looking for an entertaining light read. If you like Kevin Kwans other books you will not be disappointed. ... show more
