Goodreads Rating
Blue Heaven is a hilarious novel set in contemporary New York, featuring an unlikely couple who team up to swindle their respective families out of a fortune. Gilbert Selwyn, a charming but unemployed man, hatches a plan to marry for gifts - but he needs a fiancée. Enter Moira Finch, a conniving woman with her own wealthy family connections. As they try to keep their scheme a secret, the scams become riskier and more outrageous. Add in a highly-strung best man and Gilbert's complicated step-family, and you have a calamitous comedy of errors leading up to what could be the wedding of the year.
