THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF CRAZY RICH ASIANS

Eden Tong is used to feeling out of place. Growing up next door to Greshamsbury Manor, she spent her days in the shadow of the chilly matriarch Arabella and her children: free-spirited Augie, golden child Bea, and Rufus, Eden’s childhood best friend.

When she receives an invite to a luxurious wedding in Hawaii, she finds herself thrown back into the family’s orbit: and face-to-face with Rufus. The future Earl is gorgeous, artistic, and – unbeknownst to Eden – desperately in love with her.

But his mother has other plans. Arabella knows the terrible truth – the Greshamsbury family is drowning in debt. Rufus needs to find a match with serious money to keep them afloat. Arabella is prepared to destroy anyone who gets in her way. Including Eden . . .

Lies and Wedding transports its reader from the white-sand beaches of Hawaii to the colourful medinas of Marrakech, via the glitzy bachelor pads of Beverly Hills and opulent English countryside manors. This is a hilarious, juicy, and page-turning story about love and money – and the lies we tell to keep them.

Critics Review

LIES & WEDDINGS is truly delicious - it's everything I want a book to be, exhilarating, clever and fun. Life is better when I'm in the middle of a Kevin Kwan book. I didn't want this to end. I think it's his best yet

Annie Lord
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!
