Lies and Weddings by Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians, is another witty, escapist romance that looks at the lives of the uber-wealthy. Rufus Leung Gresham is handsome, and clever, but no longer very rich. His family fortune has been squandered by previous generations and now his parents want him to marry for money to replenish the coffers. Will it be the French heiress tied to royalty, the venture capitalist with billions to burn, or the woman he’s always loved, the girl next door? The trouble is, that Eden Tong, Rufus’s longtime crush, isn’t wealthy enough to satisfy his parents’ ambitions. Meanwhile, Rufus’s sister Augusta is set to marry into Scandinavian royalty --until a volcano eruption derails the wedding and a family secret comes to light.
