On a dazzling weekend in Capri, Lucie Tang Churchill — half-Chinese, half-American, and entirely caught between worlds — meets George Zao, a handsome man she insists she doesn’t like. Yet one impulsive kiss under the Italian sun changes everything. Years later, when their paths cross again among Manhattan’s elite, Lucie must confront the truth she’s spent her life denying — about love, class, and who she really is.

From the author of Crazy Rich Asians comes a witty and glamorous tale of romance, privilege, and self-discovery set against the glittering backdrops of high society and exotic destinations.

Full of sharp satire, lavish detail, and irresistible charm, Sex and Vanity is both a modern retelling of A Room with a View and a sparkling portrait of cultural identity in an age obsessed with status and appearances.
