Lies and Weddings
Lies and Weddings by Kevin Kwan, the celebrated author behind the international sensation Crazy Rich Asians, serves up another delectable slice of high-society drama. This time, the story delves into a whirlwind of love, betrayal, and outrageous opulence. Rufus Leung Gresham, the soon-to-be Earl of Greshamsbury and the glamorous son of a former Hong Kong supermodel, finds himself drowning in debt. Desperate for a solution, his mother advises him to attend his sister's wedding with the sole mission of seducing a wealthy woman.
Set against the backdrop of some of the world's most luxuriant locales, from the serene beaches of Hawaii to the vast deserts of Marrakech, and the glamorous bachelor pads of Beverly Hills to the stately family estates in England, Rufus' task is anything but straightforward. Will he pursue the tantalising French hotel heiress with a royal lineage? Or perhaps the dazzling venture capitalist who distributes billions as if they were sweets? However, the plot thickens as Rufus grapples with his growing feelings for his best friend and 'girl next door', Eden.
Things spiral into chaos when a volcanic eruption disrupts the wedding nuptials and a hot mic incident reveals a scandalous affair, plunging the Gresham family's reputation into disarray. With family honour at stake and his own heart in turmoil, Rufus must navigate a minefield of social expectations and personal desires, making his ultimate decision all the more complex.
Kevin Kwan's masterful storytelling in Lies and Weddings is a gripping mix of wit, glamour, and scandal. His signature style—full of lavish details, satirical insight, and endearing characters—promises to keep readers thoroughly entertained from start to finish.
