Contemporary Chick Lit

On the day that Holly Hastings -- on the advice of her therapist -- writes her own obituary, she realizes her life isn't going as she had hoped. At 28 she lives in Buffalo, has never had a real boyfriend and has a lame job as a local newspaper obituary writer. After watching an old Marilyn Monroe movie, she devises a plan to find and marry a rich guy, and even vows to document the whole thing in a how-to book.

Ignoring the moral dilemmas (and her true aspirations to write the Great American Novel), Holly recruits her best friend George to join her on gold-digging adventures that lead them to upscale hotel bars and Mercedes dealerships in Buffalo, to Florida, the haven for millionaires (really old millionaires. Shucks!), and finally to living in an old Vicrorian house above a gorgeous ex-dot-commer in San Francisco. But Holly's quest for the bling is interrupted by a proposal from a gay man and a crush on her neighbor.

Will Holly settle for marrying up, or will she choose to marry right?
