Georgie: gorgeous, glamorous and successful. But her bank balance is a molehill and her credit card bill a mountain. Lin: the gap between her dreams and reality is as wide as the Grand Canyon -- not ideal when you're a single mother. Cookie: smart and sassy, but all too aware that fairy tales don't happen for those not heroine-shaped. For these three women life just isn't turning out as planned. Working in publishing -- the parties, book launches and long lunches -- isn't nearly as glamorous as it sounds. And each is aware of something missing in their lives. So when the opportunity comes for them to wish for something, they jump at the chance. For where there's a wish, there's a way, especially with a little help from your friends ...

A riotous romp in the bestselling tradition of Jill Mansell and Catherine Alliot.It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in possession of an adequate income must be in want of a life. Single is fine for a man, provided he’s got looks and money. A single glamour-guy is a social asset after all. But a single woman — no matter how gorgeous and rich and successful, no matter how content she says she is in her solitary state — is a different matter!Kissing Toads is the hilarious and heart-warming story of a friendship. On one side is Danny, a has-been garden-show host; on the other is Roo, an eternally single news producer looking for a change. Ditching a life of urban glamour, late nights and celebrity friendships, they sign up for a garden make-over program in deepest, darkest Scotland — draughty castle, craggy lairds and all – and find they’re in for a big surprise…Very funny, very engaging, Kissing Toads twists and turns in unexpected ways and delights with unusual and down-to-earth characters.
