Lies and Weddings was an overall entertaining read told in Kevin Kwan's signature globe-trotting, over the top events for the megarich and famous. Despite being an overall light-hearted novel, there were times when the tongue-in-cheek narrative approach came across almost as pretentious as the cast of characters Kwan (mostly) lovingly makes fun of. Although the individual scenes and events were creative and wildly unpredictable, the overarching plot and ultimate ending of the novel were given away in the first few chapters of an otherwise lengthy novel.
