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.

    • fun, unique
Format: Kindle
This was a great story, with multiple characters- spanning generations. It was a fun take on marriage for money but full of heart.

    • a lot
Format: Kindle
This book is a lot to get through. It took me three attempts of starting and giving up before I actually read it. It is a really good read once you get into it. There are a lot of characters and it required a bit more concentration on my part to keep everything together. I found the ending was predictable ... show more

    • Entertaining but a bit far fetched
Format: Kindle
Fun read as always, but my least favorite Kwan book so far. Story is a bit farcical and gets quite silly at times. He keeps to his wedding theme but the story meanders a bit and the main mother character is a monster with no good qualities.

    • Thoughtful romp!

Humorous and captivating story! Revealing money isn’t everything but it can make things more fun! Wouldn’t it be a trip if all the billionaires donated all their billions to ways to make the planet and all the peoples better off?

    • Frothy fun
Format: Kindle
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

    • Captivating
Format: Hardcover
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

    • Just as fun as a you’d expect a Kevin Kwan to be. The perfect beach read.
Format: Kindle
You know there will be fabulous couture, jewels, food and locations. You know there will be heros, heroines, and an amazing glamorous villain(s). And you pretty much know how it’s going to end. So the point of one of Kwan’s books is the twists and turns of the journey and this one has his bigger twist yet. The only drawback is that, we know that Eden is fully aware of how ridiculous the people who surround her are, and how their lifestyle is a reflection of the overwhelming wealth gap we have in this country. We know this because she mentions it multiple times. And yet no one else cares and life goes on in their little 0.1 bubble. Maybe this, and the sub story of racism toward and in Asian communities is Kwan’s way of beginning to bring some balance to his fabulous tales if excess. Which are, don’t get me wrong, so much fun to read. But even fun books can give a nod to social responsibility. If these are baby steps, keep it up, Kevin. ... show more

    • It’s not Leo Tolstoy…
Format: Kindle
Okay, Kevin Kwan is not Leo Tolstoy, and “Lies and Weddings” is NOT “War and Peace”. But, then again, who is and what is? Kevin Kwan is the author of four previously published novels, set in Singapore and London/Paris and other interesting waterholes for the insanely rich. His first book, “Crazy Rich Asians” was made into a fun movie that has done extremely well financially over the years. The producers of the movie seem unable to put together the succeeding movies-from-books in Kwan’s series. Covid, actors’ commitments, financial problems, writers’ quarrels over money and billing seem to have slowed the pace to a crawl to any sequel(s) to “Asians”. There shouldn’t be many problems with the future filmings of “Lies and Weddings” because the book looks ready-made for production. I’ve long thought that weddings (and funerals, maybe) are the best settings for novels. You have love, bridezilllas, money issues, and a whole lot of emotional anguish. Kwan’s book seems written specifically for transfer to the big screen. His characters are mostly wealthy- either insanely or merely extremely - and seem only to wear “designer clothes”. They live and vacation in the trendiest places. They’re not you and me and that’s what’s fun about Kevin Kwan’s writing. So, is “Lies and Weddings” a great book? No, but it is well-written for its intended audience. It’s a short, fun book which anyone who enjoyed Kevin Kwan’s back list should enjoy. And the inevitable movie. ... show more
