'Your perfect summer read' Daily Mail
'Delightful' Independent
'Laugh-out-loud funny' Sunday Mirror
When Lucie Tang Churchill meets George Zao at a lavish wedding in Capri, she can't stand him. She can't stand that he gallantly offers to trade hotel rooms with her so she can have a sea view, that he knows more about the island than she does, and worst of all, that he kisses her in the darkness of the ancient ruins. What would her Mayflower-descended, Wall Street-wealthy family think of him? But years later, when Lucie is weekending with her fiancé in East Hampton, George unexpectedly appears and Lucie must decide - does she follow her head or her heart?
A gloriously decadent homage to A Room with a View, Sex and Vanity is a glittering modern love story and a brilliantly funny comedy of manners set between two cultures.
Delightful ... complete with
designer outfits, glamorous parties, and exotic locations.
Sex and Vanity scores high on all intended fronts; the opening half, set in Capri, is bathed in sunshine and sexual tension. The novel reads like travel porn, listing the island's best and lesser-known sights, places to eat, stay and drink. And then there is the story of Lucie Tang Churchill, a biracial New York princess from the Upper East Side, attending an eye-wateringly extravagant wedding.
Sex and Vanity is basically your
PERFECT SUMMER READ. Set in Capri, New York & the Hamptons, the location descriptions are
so evocative you will feel like you're there. The characters bounce around the globe engaging in pretty much the binary opposite of social distancing so a double win for this
delicious, delightful romp.This satirical romp through the gilded lives of the international super-rich is
laugh-out-loud funny,
with all the crackle you'd expect from the author of
Crazy Rich Asians, plus a tender love story at its heart.
Sex and Vanity, another decadent romance novel by
Crazy Rich Asians author Kevin Kwan ... [is]
the perfect summer read.
