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 listener 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 gripping story about love and money – and the lies we tell to keep them.

Great story

I really enjoyed this story — Kevin Kwan has done it again!
The narration was not ideal, especially accents other than British.

Love this Kevin!

This book brought me so much joy. I loved crazy rich asians and the books that followed, but this is hands down my new favourite.

Easy listening, same formula no surprises

I enjoy the Kevin Kwan universe. There was no surprises in this one and followed the same formula . No twists or surprises really . Some of the characters were a little too caricature for me in this one. Not helped by the narration. Which times had odd phrasing? Breaths in the middle of sentences and upward inflection which I’m not sure was intentional and became irritating.
Easy beach read and enjoyable enough

The story was very entertaining but the accents drove me crazy

I think I should have read this book rather than listened to it.
It was fun and entertaining but the narrator over acted terribly and Arabella’s (and some of the others too) accent and voice nearly had me abandoning the book.

Great book but the voices were unbearable!!

Wonderful book. The accents and reading however are very distracting and hard on the ear…read this rather than audiobook

Disappointing book. Terrible narration.

As a huge fan of Kevin Kwan books, I had been anticipating the release of this novel for months and am sorry to say that this book is disappointing. All too familiar plots, lacking the originality that I so loved of Kevin Kwan book. As much as I love Jing Lusi as an actress, she seems an unsuitable choice for a narrator of this book. It was terrible. She was necessarily breathless for Francis making him sound like he’s about to faint or in a need of an inhaler. For Annabella there are way too much chopping and pausing in a sentence it was hard to follow. Due to the poor narration, I couldn’t get through the Audible and ended up ordering a hard copy book, but the book ended up being a disappointment. I wanted to love it and really tried but it was hard to follow, and honestly very boring. Stick to the other Kevin Kwan books. They are way better than this.
