She can't stand it when he gallantly offers to trade hotel rooms with her so that she can have a view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, she can't stand that he knows more about Casa Malaparte than she does, and she really can't stand it when he kisses her in the darkness of the ancient ruins of a Roman villa and they are caught by her snobbish, disapproving cousin Charlotte. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe daughter of an American-born Chinese mother and a blue-blooded New York father, Lucie has always sublimated the Asian side of herself in favor of the white side, and she adamantly denies having feelings for George. But several years later, when George unexpectedly appears in East Hampton, where Lucie is weekending with her new fiancé, Lucie finds herself drawn to George again. Soon, Lucie is spinning a web of deceit that involves her family, her fiancé, the co-op board of her Fifth Avenue apartment building, and, ultimately, herself as she tries mightily to deny George entry into her world--and her heart. Moving between summer playgrounds of privilege, peppered with decadent food and extravagant fashion, \u003ci\u003eSex and Vanity\u003c\/i\u003e is a truly modern love story, a daring homage to \u003ci\u003eA Room with a View, \u003c\/i\u003e and a brilliantly funny comedy of manners set between two cultures.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKEVIN KWAN is the author of the international bestsellers \u003ci\u003eCrazy Rich Asians\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eChina Rich Girlfriend\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRich People Problems\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSex and Vanity\u003c\/i\u003e.
