A novel by

Laurie Graff



Graff's debut novel opens at a bridal shower. Karrie Klein, 45, has never been married, and she is attending her umpteenth bridal shower for yet another friend who's found the mythical "one." This leads Karrie to reminisce about her own dating history, starting in 1988 and covering 15 years of losers, freaks, oddballs, and just downright insensitive and selfish guys. Her boyfriend at 30, David, introduces her to his parents, who love her, apparently more than David does. Jack, a born-again Christian, seems like such a bad match from the outset that Karrie muses, "It would have been easier to not have the relationship and to have just sold the movie rights." As she struggles in the New York dating world, she also struggles to make it as an actress. More than just a catalogue of loser guys and bad relationships, Graff's smart and funny novel shows just how hard finding the right man can be and how easy it is for a relationship to fail.

Graff's follow-up to her debut, You Have to Kiss a Lot of Frogs (2004), finds fortysomething actress Karrie Kline at her friend Brooke's wedding. To her chagrin she's there without a date, but it works to her advantage when she hits it off with sexy Doug Fox and gives him her number. At this point, the story flashes back to recap Karrie's dating mishaps, including an almost tryst with an amorous actor friend, a foray into the world of online dating, and the development of her own one-woman stage show, Frogaphobia, based on a lifetime's worth of bad dates. Karrie's adventures from the year before take up a majority of the novel, and the narrative doesn't work its way back up to the present until it has passed the halfway mark. Readers will be happy when Doug finally reappears, and will eagerly turn the pages to learn if he is Karrie's happy ending, or if her destiny lies elsewhere.
