Join us for an evening
with Kevin Kwan, the king of escapist fiction! Best known for Crazy Rich
Asians, Kevin will take the stage to talk about his newest book, LIES AND WEDDINGS, a big, juicy, addictive novel just in time for summer.
In this
newest novel, you’ll meet Rufus, the future Earl of Greshambury. His
family schemes to marry him off, pronto, to save the family “fortune” from a
gargantuan mountain of debt. His sister’s upcoming wedding is a perfect
opportunity for Rufus to meet his match. Little do they know that he’s already
fallen for the literal girl next door. When a hot mic at the nuptials exposes a
secret tryst, the Gresham family’s scheme and reputation go up in
flames.
