annarella 's review for:

Sex and Vanity by Kevin Kwan
5.0

It's the first book I read by Kevin Kwan and won't surely be the last as this one was highly enjoyable and entertaining.
I think this is a sort of chick lit on steroids with an interesting cast of characters and an interesting style of writing.
The author is a talented storyteller and the plot kept me hooked till the end. I loved the descriptions of Capri and New York, they are so accurate that you could use this book as a travel guide for rich people.
The characters are fleshed out and I appreciated how the author deal with theme like identity.
I had a lot of fun in trying to match characters and plot to those of Forster's "A Room with a View".
It was an excellent and enjoyable read, highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
