A review by hhh_111
Sex and Vanity by Kevin Kwan

3.0

The first half was amazing (4-5stars), but the second half was grotesque (1-2stars). Cecil seems unrealistic as does the fact Lucie would fall for him with the way he acts. Then there's Lucie's in cohesive behaviour in the second half where Kwan can't seem to fully grasp her as a person yet. George, the main love interest barely appears in the book. Towards the end the plot feels rushed as if Kwan was needing to meet a deadline. Not appreciated. Finally settled a 3 stars.
