A Fact About Frogging:

With new species discovered every day, it's hard to find a rule to catch a good frog, except to say that when it comes to frogs there are no rules at all!

Mr. Right = single, intelligent, attractive, funny, successful, non–commitment–phobic male

Mr. Goodfrog = single male

Karrie Kline has dated her share of frogs. There was the frog who could never make a decision, the toad who claimed to be single and the (horny) toad who couldn't commit to anything more than an after–dinner roll on the lily–pad. Fed up with looking for one good frog in the giant pond, the aspiring actress decides to at least make the best of her bad dating stories.

Before she knows it, Karrie's one–woman show is a success–well, an off–off–Broadway success. And now all her past frogs are hopping out of the woodwork. Has Karrie's quest to put her bad–date Karma to good use turned her into a dating pariah? Hey, it's not as if she's waiting for Mr. Right anymore. She's just looking for Mr. Goodfrog...

'I never knew bad dates could be so good.'–Kelly Ripa on You Have to Kiss a Lot of Frogs

'It only takes one.'

'There are a lot of other fish in the sea.'

'Every pot has a cover.'

'When it's your time, it will just happen.'

Ugh! Karrie Kline had heard it all. But her search for the perfect man had never been all that pressing until her laugh lines became more noticeable, she attended one too many bridal showers and woke up next to far too many never–gonna–commit men. Suddenly, she realised that finding someone to love (and who actually loved her back) was important. Karrie wanted more. But knowing what she wanted, and actually getting what she wanted well, that was a lot to think about.

Join Karrie as she looks back at over fifteen years of dating in these wry, witty and sometimes wrenching vignettes involving disastrous fix–ups, strange chance encounters and missed opportunities. From the shortest date in Manhattan history, to Mr. FamousHollywoodTelevisionActor who was more bark than bite, these are tales for every woman–whether she's found her Prince Charming, or her lips are incredibly chapped from kissing her own share of frogs.

New York City actress Laurie Graff has dated her share of amphibians and may (or may not) have used them as a basis for her first novel. She swears no frogs have been harmed during the writing of this book.
