The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing explores the life lessons of Jane, the contemporary American Everywoman who combines the charm of Bridget Jones, the vulnerability of Ally McBeal, and the wit of Lorrie Moore. 

          When it comes to the mating game, Jane’s still learning how to play. As a teenager she tried to understand relationships by watching her elder brother falling in and out of love, and now, older but none the wiser, she embarks on her own affairs. There’s the boyfriend with the irritatingly beautiful ex; the witty and wordly Older Man; the commitment-phobic who calls her honey but never uses her name.

          Plenty of fish in the sea – but how do you find a man worth catching? When she finally resorts to How to Meet and Marry Mr Right, a hilariously old-fashioned guide to hunting out and reeling in the man of your dreams, Jane discovers that with love, life and men, a girl doesn’t need rules…

"This is the kind of book that can pull you out of a reading drought … as enjoyable as a night in watching Sex and the City"

"Hilarious and deliciously romantic … made me laugh out loud … Jane is no Bridget Jones – she is feistier, wittier and utterly lovable"
