About this audiobook
A Marriage and a Funeral🖤💍
When Vivian Ashworth — matriarch, casket-industry mogul, and lifelong master of the backhanded compliment — dies, she leaves her three estranged kids one last, outrageous instruction: whoever gets legally married within 30 days inherits the family fortune. Whoever doesn't... watches it go to the church roof fund.
Cue a scramble of sham engagements, a suspiciously charming young widower, a wellness guru's boyfriend doing very fast mental math, and one long-avoided love story between the family's black-sheep clown and the cousin he's been in love with since he was eleven.
A dark comedy about grief, greed, and what a truly chaotic parent will do to get her kids in one room again.
