Sex and Vanity has been picked up by Sony Pictures for a film feature
The latest novel from Crazy Rich Asians author Kevin Kwan has been picked up for feature film presentation, with Sex and Vanity going to Sony Pictures just over a week after hitting store shelves.
This story isn't part of the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy, though it returns to themes of romance, riches, and racial and cultural identity.
Sex and Vanity follows Lucie Churchill, a well-off woman with a Chinese-American mother, blue-blooded New York father, an apartment on Fifth Avenue, and a wealthy fiancé.
She then has to deal with unexpected feelings when Chinese-Australian surfer George Zao suddenly turns up out of the blue.
They'd met years earlier on the sunkissed island of Capri and, at the time, she instantly despised him—and resented herself for her own attraction to him.
This time, however, it's more difficult to deny him as a romantic interest.
