Sex and Vanity by Kevin Kwan
4.0
I love Kwan. He has this way of making me laugh and feel all of the feelings in one sentence.
I love this story. I found it to be a very interesting exploration of the feelings mixed race persons may feel at any given time, whilst also discussing the family dynamics of both sides of the family (this case being white and Chinese). I am, however, not BIPOC, so I cannot speak to the accuracy of how people genuinely feel in these situations.
I loved seeing characters from Crazy Rich Asians in this story. The atmosphere of both New York and Capri was amazing.
I do hope we get, if not a novel, even a short story, of some continuation for Lucie and George. I loved their Romeo and Juliet-esque story.
Highly recommend any and all of Kwan's work!
