From Booklist
Seth Weinstein, trudging along in an aimless career as a Twitter marketer, knows he is outmatched by his fiancée, Tina, who is rich, brilliant, and driven by serious causes. But amazingly, she has agreed to marry him. So they are off to Florida for their fabulous wedding, paid for by Tina’s rich and powerful father, who doesn’t quite approve of Seth. And Seth does not fail to disappoint as he and his Groom Posse become entangled with a stripper, her angry boyfriend, a desperate Haitian refugee and her children, and a cast of others in the hectic two days leading up to his wedding. When he should be preparing for the wedding, he’s off on rescue missions and avoiding police in a car chase. Can Seth pull himself together in his grand misadventure of wildly competing desires and obligations to do the right thing and still make it to the altar? Pulitzer Prize–winning humorist Barry’s latest offers a wild romp through south Florida. --Vanessa Bush

Underachieving nice guy Seth Weinstein is marrying Tina, a gorgeous high-powered lawyer in just a couple of days in a lavish wedding with all the trappings necessary to "storm the beachhead of holy matrimony." While her job is to make sure the whole affair is green; and make sure various assistants don't cross paths accidentally or various chemicals may be thrown, his job is to make sure his fly is zipped and show up at the altar on time; unfortunately, there wouldn't be much of a plot in Dave Barry's "Insane City" if he managed this without incident.
The plot wouldn't make much sense if I tried to describe it, but the novel has all the familar details you would expect from a Barry novel set in Miami: guys with guns, both licensed and otherwise; vehicles chases both on land and asea; exotic animals who have escaped their keepers with an agenda all their own; clueless newscasters; grumpy law officials who just want to retire early; and people of all ethnic and economic backgrounds bonding in wacky ways, some involving illegal substances. The cast includes Seth's best friends, the "Groom Posse," Tina's uptight billionaire parents and younger pothead sister; a horny New Age guru; Seth's velour-tracksuited parents who bring some delicious brownies to the rehearsal dinner (purely for medicinal reasons); an amorous orangutan named Trevor; a stripper with a heart of gold and her oversized pimp; plus a Haitian mother with two young kids who just want to make it to America safely. On the way to helping the Haitians, Seth will have to do some growing up and make some decisions for the first time, about what kind of adult he wants to be.
Some parts are decidedly more hilarious than others, but this is generally amusing read.
