Blessed Are the Fabulous. Life would be perfect for Reverend Betsy Blessing if it weren't for parishioners who keel over during her sermons, steal money from the collection box, and set her up with ex-cons. Not to mention the very inconvenient feelings she is suddenly having for her long-time friend, fellow seminarian, and verbal sparring partner, David Swenson. It isn’t until Betsy is thrust into the position of senior minister for her church, however, that she discovers the real cause of her discontent: her fear of failing has become stronger than her faith in herself. Is it really possible to keep a good woman down? Can Betsy reclaim her confidence while reconciling her clerical robe with high heels and the right shade of lipstick? A fun-loving look at a single girl’s life on the other side of the altar, Heavens to Betsy is also a hilarious and joyful celebration of strong, stylish, and faithful womanhood.

This is a fast-paced novel that features short chapters and paragraphs that consist of plenty of dialogue. The story is told from the first person perspective and gives readers an inside view to the main character's thoughts, hopes, and fears. Characterization is by far the most important element of this book as everything revolves around the main character. Additionally, the secondary characters' storylines are filled with just as much drama, emotion and hardship as Betsy's story. The storyline is split between character centered and issue oriented as Betsy's single status is as much of a focus as the issues her parishioners have with a woman serving as the interim Senior-Minister. Particular attention is paid to the description of Betsy’s job and the challenges and tasks associated with her position in the church. As such, the tone of the novel dances back and forth between light, flirty, and romantic to serious and professional. Special attention is paid to Betsy's makeover throughout the course of the novel. A considerable portion of the novel is devoted to Betsy's evolving hairstyle, wardrobe, and makeup, which adds to the light and, at times, humorous atmosphere. Pattillo's style is conversational and direct and contains current popular culture references which make for a light, fast, enjoyable read. ( )
