While she's busy with helping her husband Govenor Francis “Chiz” Escudero promote the province of Sorsogon, Queen of Creative Collaborations Heart Evangelista also knows the importance of taking a break from her busy schedule.

In fact, one of the ways she relaxes is by reading a good book.

Heart's recent Instagram post elicited a response from best-selling author Kevin Kwan, the creative mind behind the best-selling novel 'Crazy Rich Asians,' which was adapted into a movie and became a huge hit in 2018.

Kevin reacted to Heart's poolside photo of her reading Kevin's latest work 'Sexy and Vanity.'

The phenomenal Singaporean author even wished the Kapuso actress a good time as she pored over his book.

The two met and worked together in a Harper's Bazaar's special video feature two years ago. Kevin invited the Filipina actress-socialite along with some fashion influencers from Asia to the awe-inspiring Paris couture Week.

'Sexy and Vanity' is the story of Lucie Churchill, an American-born Chinese and the man of her dreams George Zao.

According to penguinrandomhouse.com, this latest book from Kevin is a truly modern love story and a daring homage to 'A Room with a View.'
