Publisher's Summary:
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.

Poignant and laugh out loud funny in the same read
I finished this rather long book in only 2 days, getting little sleep, because I was on the edge of my seat trying to see if Graff could meet Prince Charming, and was riveted by her sometimes depressing, sometimes hysterical dating tales.
Graff details many years of her dating and relationships, which necessarily include some of her career and family issues, which I personally found to be enjoyable and touching.
But, the dating is the main course. Some of the most memorable stories? 1) When Graff pretends to be Christian so that her new Jewish boyfriend gets to feel like a badboy for dating a Shiksa; 2) Graff's mixup from the personals column where she grabs the wrong man at the meeting place; and 3) the time she goes on a long weekend in New England with a boyfriend, and as she is contentedly relaxing in the car on the drive home, he commences to tell her that, all in all, the weekend wasn't worth it, because he had to spend too much money, and proceeds to count down his expenditures. Doh!
The other thing about this book that I liked is that there isn't a nice, pat ending. Like life! If you are tired of dating, you will find a lot of support, and some good laughs, in this book.
Four Stars
Fun interesting book.
A Great Read!! Funny, smart and real
I LOVED this book!! It's so smart and funny and well-written. The writing is so natural it feels like one of those great conversations with a girlfriend that you never want to end. Any woman who's been single will relate to the heroine's journey. I bought five copies and gave them to my friends, and they raved about the book too. It's our lives!
ARE JEWISH GUYS THAT BAD?
What women will do for a little happiness! I laughed and laughed at the boy-exploits of Karrie Kline. Losers, whiners, posers, and even the good-intentioned falling off the ship at the smallest of waves. Are men so shallow? I'm single, so it must be true! Graff's dialogue is superb, her insights priceless, and her stories struck a chord. I recommend this book to guys, since we're all in there. Mazel Tov on a great book.
The book that wouldn't end
I am a massive chick-lit reader and I had noticed this book for a while and I finally decided to buy it. Boy, I wish I hadn't. The book just goes on and on.The character of Karrie is not very likeable and by the middle of the book, I couldn't have cared less whether she found a man or not and whether she got a big break in acting.
