Whatever Wednesday - Lies and Weddings by Kevin Kwan


 I LOVE Kevin Kwan.  He knows how to write a trashy, classy, funny, fluff novel.   His style is all his own and it's awesome.  Crazy Rich Asians had me hooked.  China Rich Girlfriend, Rich People Problems, and Sex and Vanity - all  warm ups for this cheesy gem of a story.  Lies and Weddings by Kevin Kwan will be tough to top. 

I  laughed out loud at his dialogue. I find his footnotes on style and ridiculous details hysterical.  I truly don't know if I can explain how spot on he is in describing lifestyles that are beyond our imagination. This book truly is extremely well written ridiculous fluff and it's perfect. 

cover  blurb - A forbidden affair erupts dramatically amid a decadent Hawaiian wedding in this hilarious, sophisticated, and thrillingly plotted story of love,  money, murder, sex - and the lies we tell  about all of them. 

Beautiful people (Rufus,  Eden, Bea, Arabella, Martha, and more)  A mix of old England and new  Asian.  Secret tragedy.  A once great earldom. 

Old money gone.  New  money that's insane.    Read Kevin Kwan and just enjoy the insanity. 

Mic drop.    Oh wait.....there's more champagne......  yeah, you get the idea......um.....yeah....now the private helicopter picks you up and takes you....________________fill in the blank with more champagne.   HA!       Enjoy this ridiculous book.  Trust me.

  2. This sounds like good fun. I'll add it to my (extensive) list! I joined not only one book group, but two. That has me pedaling pretty hard!
