"A hilarious, richly detailed family affair that takes place around the world, from Hawaii to Venice to Los Angeles to the English countryside." --Megan McCluskey and Olivia B. Waxman, Time "More globe-trotting high jinks among the wealthy from the author of Crazy Rich Asians. " -- Washington Post "This novel is vintage Kwan and this time we take a hilarious dive into the Anglo-Asian billionaire scene which is populated with fierce Chinese moms, power-mad aunties, penniless English Lords, fabulous weddings, stately homes and too many secrets to mention. 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 " The author of international sensation Crazy Rich Asians has returned with a new story you won't be able to put down....A sprawling, globe-trotting adventure, filled with deceit, murder, love and humor." -- SheReads "In [ Lies and Weddings ], Kwan continues to wrap fairy-tale love stories in glitz, glamour, couture, fine art, and delicious wit....Still more brilliant escapism among Kwan's 1 percenters. Too much is never enough." -- Kirkus (starred) "Kwan returns with another irresistible comedy of manners....[ Lies and Weddings ] allow[s] Kwan to indulge in his flair for vivid party scenes [and he] delivers on his reputation for breezy prose, encyclopedic references to art and haute couture, and quick-witted dialogue laced with Cantonese. The author's fans will devour this." --Publishers Weekly "Kwan mines the trials and tribulations of the uberwealthy to great effect in this winning, modern-day comedy of manners...Kwan weaves together the drama of a nineteenth-century novel with timeless themes about identity, love, racism, and family loyalty, all while dropping snarky asides via footnote and details of the decadent lifestyles of the rich and famous. A fizzy, delightful confection perfect for devouring by the pool this summer." -- Booklist, "A hilarious, richly detailed family affair that takes place around the world, from Hawaii to Venice to Los Angeles to the English countryside." --Megan McCluskey and Olivia B. Waxman, Time "More globe-trotting high jinks among the wealthy from the author of Crazy Rich Asians.

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 "Known for his style, humor, and love of decadence, Kevin Kwan's latest novel follows Rufus Gresham, the future Earl of Greshambury, and the owner of a whole lot of debt. It doesn't take long before his scheming mother comes up with a plan--win the heart of a women with money at his sister's luxe wedding, duh! . . . But when a volcanic eruption exposes his family's true intentions, can the family rise again from the ashes or will a secret tragedy hidden for over 20 years reveal a shocking twist?" --Chaise Sanders, Cosmopolitan "[A] sly, hilarious comedy of manners about the high class, the low class, and the rich with no class....Kwan dishes out another juicy, satire-tinged romp about the lives of the opulent class with aplomb. The characters behave to the standard his fans have come to expect [and] the third-person omniscient narrative voice follows each character's movements with the chattiness of a gossip columnist....Readers hungry for an escapist tale with a soupçon of social criticism and a dash of true love overcoming obstacles should find Lies and Weddings a delicious diversion." -- Shelf Awareness "Kevin Kwan...is back with another page-turner of a romance." -- Book Riot " The author of international sensation Crazy Rich Asians has returned with a new story you won't be able to put down....A sprawling, globe-trotting adventure, filled with deceit, murder, love and humor." -- SheReads "In [ Lies and Weddings ], Kwan continues to wrap fairy-tale love stories in glitz, glamour, couture, fine art, and delicious wit....Still more brilliant escapism among Kwan's 1 percenters.

A fizzy, delightful confection perfect for devouring by the pool." -- Booklist "Kwan took us to Singapore in Crazy Rich Asians , and he's whisking us away to Hawaii, Marrakech and the English countryside in Lies and Weddings.... A hilarious tale of love, lies, sex and money." -- Readers Digest, "A hilarious, richly detailed family affair that takes place around the world, from Hawaii to Venice to Los Angeles to the English countryside." --Megan McCluskey and Olivia B. Waxman, TIME Magazine

Synopsis
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., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - 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 - 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.
