Kevin Kwan’s standalone novels move beyond the Crazy Rich Asians universe while keeping his signature mix of wealth, comedy, and cultural observation. Sex and Vanity (2020) follows a biracial protagonist navigating identity and romance between Capri and New York, and became a New York Times bestseller in its first week.
Lies and Weddings (2024) pairs a biracial doctor with an English viscount across locations from Hawaii to Morocco. Both books share Kwan’s interest in how money and status shape people’s choices, and both feature the kind of lavish settings and sharp social comedy that made his first trilogy a hit.
