Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR


Rufus Leung Gresham, future Earl of Greshamsbury and son of a former Hong Kong supermodel, is drowning in debt. The only solution, according to his mother, is for him to attend his sister’s wedding and seduce a woman with money.

Will it be the French hotel heiress with a royal bloodline? The venture capital genius who passes out billions like lollipops? Or will Rufus betray his family and confess his love for his best friend and ‘girl next door’ Eden? But when a volcanic eruption burns through the nuptials and a hot mic exposes a secret tryst, the Gresham family plans – and their reputation – go up in flames, making Rufus’ choice all the more impossible.

Taking us from the sand beaches of Hawaii to the skies of Marrakech, from the glitzy bachelor pads of Beverly Hills to the inner sanctums of England’s oldest family estates, Kevin Kwan has written a juicy, hilarious and sophisticated tale of love, money, murder, sex, and the lies we tell about them all.

Kevin at his finest

I preordered this book as I’ve listened to all the others and couldn’t wait to see what his characters got up to next - I wasn’t disappointed!

The only thing I struggled with was the staccato speech of the narrator. I found it really hard to listen to at times. The accents weren’t great but I really struggled to relax with the cadence of the narrators speaking pattern. It sadly detracted from the experience.

OMG! Fabulous!

Loved it! It was was like being a guest at the most outrageous wedding ever! I couldn't stop laughing as the drama unfolded, especially when Kitty, the queen of chaos, made an appearance. This book totally satisfied my craving for luxury, scandal, and belly laughs. I couldn't 't put down!

Fun, light and eye opening

Always love Kevin Kwan’s book and this one doesn’t disappoint (maybe even better than Sex and Vanity?) It’s fun, light and perfect for the beginning of a very busy summer, if you’re looking for some escapism into some Rich People Problem! It’s obvious that he has a soft spot for Chinese and the privileged, and I just love it! 😄

Fun story; marmite narration

The story is fun but the narration is grating. I appreciate that the narrator has made an effort to differentiate each character’s voice, but some feel so exaggerated that it makes for difficult listening.

Entertaining

Midway through I knew Eden was the heiress but still, the ending gave me a big smile !

Terrible character voices

The story was light and ok. If the mother’s character had not been so OTT it would have been better. Similar but not as good as Crazy Rich Asians books.

The voices of most of the characters were excruciating to listen to and I nearly had to give up.

Worst reading I have heard and I have listened to hundreds of books. Audible should record another version.
