Forty-five-year-old actress Karrie Kline doesn't usually lose a lot of sleep over her age or her single status. But after one too many bridal showers, a notice on her apartment, an expired unemployment claim and her acting prospects drying up - too old to play the ingenue, too young for the role of matriarch - she's awake at 2:00 a.m. and determined to get perspective on her life. Starting with the men she's dated.
From the man whose parents loved her more than he did, to the famous actor who had more bark than bite, Karrie traces back through her love life to uncover how her experiences have shaped her and how to find meaning in the past.
Told with warmth, wit, and poignancy, You Have To Kiss a Lot of Frogs shows how to face your memories - even the darkest, most secret ones - with courage, humor, and hope.

"One of my favorite books. The perfect book for a single woman, currently dating or one that has given up on men. Very humorous. I couldn't put it down. I could relate to many of her dating adventures and couldn't wait to read the next book." — Amanda (5 out of 5 stars)
"One of my favorite books. The perfect book for a single woman, currently dating or one that has given up on men. Very humorous. I couldn't put it down. I could relate to many of her dating adventures and couldn't wait to read the next book."
" I stopped reading this a little less than 1/2 way through. I am donating it to the used book store today. I left it for a few months & I didn't even want to think about getting back to it. It was kinda awful. "
" I've been 'currently reading' this since 2005. I just haven't finished it. "
" Was ok, not as funny as I was hoping for.... "
" I just didn't like this book. It had some funny dates, but for the most part I thought it was sad she was dependent on having a boyfriend/male approval in her life. "
" I thought this book might actually be interesting, but it was kind of a downer...not a very good ending. "
" pop trash, amusing "
" Sadly realistic yet hopeful... "
" Stopped reading it. It not seem very illuminating or funny. "
" Somehow this one hit a little too close to home. Still, a refreshing story about the trials and tribulations of the dating world. "
" Worse book ever! It was very painful to read, even for a light read "
" I read this while I was in grad school because my brain was overflowing with information and I couldn't handle a book that required thought. One word- LAME! "
" Chick-lit gone bad. This wasn't very good at all, even for chick-lit. I tend to avoid any books published by the red dress publisher. "
" Cute....slow start and slow ending.....was a bit too long in my opinion but worth reading. Definitely could relate to Karrie's dating disasters! "
" liked this one better than mr. goodfrog. funny fast read. all about the horrible events of dates, blind dates, crazy dates, etc. "
" Ehh! She did kiss alot of frogs but she still didn't find the frog that will eventually be her prince. Okay maybe this book is not about finding your soulmate instead it's the journey thru self discovery- BULL! Sorry, reading this book was just frustrating... "
" I got through a majority of it and decided it wasn't worth finishing. "
" not good. not good at all. "
" Very cute book - if you've dated a lot, or had people ask you when you're finally going to get married, it has a lot of funny spots in it. "
" If you date, you need this book! It chronicles the dating life of a New York girl. It's a lot more realistic than Carrie on Sex and the City. "
" Maybe it was my fault that I read this book after newly becoming single again, but it really was a pointless read and annoying. If I could give this book 0 stars I would. "
" This was a fun, quick read. Its essentially a series of stories about the dating life of an actress from New York. The stories made me laugh, and I thought the main character was relatable. "
" This book felt disjointed to me. It hopped around from date to date with not much in between. It also has a few sexual scenes that I found too discriptive for even my taste. "
" I really had a diffent expectation about this book. It was really slow and not that enteraining. I would not really recommend it to anyone. "
" Good, quick read. A good laugh at a bad love life:) "
" I could not put this book down, but the ending was disappointing. "
" OK book. Good for reading after Gone With the Wind :) Writing was choppy at points, but as a single DATING person, it was funny to read some of the episodes. Light reading for a summer day. "
" Funny read about her terrible dates. "
" A little slow, but eventually picks up. Overall a good read. "
" Was expecting a light hearted humorous book about dating. It didn't make me laugh even once and was actually quite boring and I just couldn't make myself even care about the main character. "
