Lies and Weddings by Kevin Kwan is a sharp, glamorous, and hilariously plotted novel of love, wealth, scandal, and betrayal. Firmly in the contemporary fiction genre with a delicious satirical edge, this book whisks readers into a world of aristocrats, influencers, and billionaires as they scheme their way through high-society weddings and decadent parties. At the centre of it all is Rufus Leung Gresham, future Earl of Greshambury and the desperate heir to a crumbling family fortune.
To save his family’s legacy, Rufus must choose between marrying for money or risking it all for love. Between a French hotel heiress with impeccable lineage, a tech mogul with staggering wealth, and his lifelong friend Eden Tong, Rufus navigates a tangle of temptation, duty, and desire. Set against spectacular backdrops from Hawaii’s volcanic beaches to the opulent drawing rooms of English estates, Lies and Weddings unravels secrets, exposes forbidden affairs, and delivers explosive surprises—including a long-buried family tragedy.
Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians, once again dazzles with his trademark wit and biting commentary on the absurdities of the ultra-rich. This novel is perfect for readers who enjoy scandal-filled family sagas, sharp social satire, and wildly entertaining drama set in luxurious locales.
