A wedding amid wealth and debt

A lavish wedding on Hawaii’s Big Island brings together a social circle of titled figures and oligarchs, but the Gresham family’s grand image conceals a financial crisis. Rufus Leung Gresham, heir to an earldom, is urged by his mother to use the occasion to secure a wealthy match. The publisher also frames the novel around a forbidden affair and as a comedy of manners, placing romance alongside questions of inherited status, extravagant spending, and the strain of maintaining an elite public image.

Book overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the iconic internationally bestselling author of the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy: A forbidden affair erupts volcanically amid a decadent Hawaiian wedding in this outrageous comedy of manners.

"Imagine Crazy Rich Asians mated with Saltburn and you've got Lies and Weddings--a heavenly summertime read!"--Plum Sykes, New York Times best-selling author of Bergdorf Blondes


Rufus Leung Gresham, future Earl of Greshambury and son of a former Hong Kong supermodel has a problem: the legendary Gresham Trust has been depleted by decades of profligate spending, and behind all the magazine covers and Instagram stories of manors and yachts lies nothing more than a gargantuan mountain of debt. The only solution, put forth by Rufus's scheming mother, is for Rufus to attend his sister's wedding on the Big Island of Hawaii, a veritable who's-who of sultans, barons, and oligarchs, and seduce a woman with money.
