About the book

Lucie Churchill is a young woman with a Chinese mother and a white American father, who spends her time among Manhattan's wealthy. She is engaged to a good-looking man, but she cannot stop thinking of George Zao, a charming Chinese-American whose family is wealthy but looked down on. The story moves between Lucie's earlier trip to Capri, which inspired her love for George, and her present life, as she must decide whether to follow her heart. It is a comic retelling of E.M. Forster's A Room with a View.

A fun, glamorous read for fans of Crazy Rich Asians who want another satire of high society. It suits readers who enjoy romantic comedies set in international locations.
