Lies and Weddings; A Novel

A Glamorous Scandal, A Forbidden Affair, and a Wedding to Remember

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A TIME MUST-READ BOOK OF THE YEAR

From Kevin Kwan, the internationally bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians, comes a witty, scandalous, and utterly decadent comedy of manners, where love, wealth, and family expectations collide at a high-society wedding in paradise.

Rufus Leung Gresham, future Earl of Greshambury and the son of a former Hong Kong supermodel, has a serious problem: his family’s legendary fortune is gone, drained by generations of reckless spending. His only hope? Marry rich.

At his sister’s extravagant wedding at a luxury eco-resort—a playground for the world’s elite—Rufus is faced with three tempting choices:
💎 Solne de Courcy—a stunning French hotel heiress with royal lineage
💎 Martha Dung—a sharp-witted venture capitalist who hands out billions with ease
💎 Eden Tong—the girl next door, the daughter of a doctor, and the one woman he truly loves

But when a volcanic eruption disrupts the nuptials and a hot mic exposes a secret affair, the Gresham family's carefully crafted image goes up in flames. As a long-buried tragedy resurfaces, revealing shocking secrets, Rufus must decide: follow duty or follow his heart?

From Hawaii’s black sand beaches to the palatial estates of England, Kevin Kwan delivers another juicy, laugh-out-loud, and wildly entertaining tale of love, betrayal, excess, and the price of privilege.
