Where Have All the Boys Gone? - Jenny Colgan ... and gleeful media reports that it's statistically more likely for single women to be murdered than get married, Katie is reached an all-time low. But all is not lost ! Another hilarious high-concept romantic comedy from Jenny Colgan. While Katie's glad it's not a man's world any more, she'd be quite pleased if there were more men in it - or at least single ones, anyway. More likely to get murdered than married, according to gleeful media reports, Katie resigns herself to the fact there's no sex in the city and heads for the hills - or the Scottish highlands, to be precise. Despite the fact she's never been a girl for wellies - and Fairlish is in the middle of nowhere - the tiny town does have one major draw: men. Lots of them. But while Katie relishes the chance to do battle with armies of admirers, she's not reckoned on going head to head with her grumpy new boss, Harry, shadowy developers intent on destroying the beautiful countryside and Mrs McClockerty, the least suitable hotelier since Norman Bates. At least there's the local eye-candy to distract her, including gorgeous newshound Iain. But he is at loggerheads with Harry, and Harry despises her. Life in the country might not be one big roll in the hay but can Katie ever turn her back on the delights of Fairlish and return to city life?

Some time later Olivia tells her that the Forestry Commission of Fairlish has turned to her office for a PR person and that she's decided to send Katie there for three months to sort out their problems. Death and damnation, why did she have to give the man her business card?! Grumbling she packs her things to a wailing Louise who doesn't want to be left alone. Katie feels a bit responsible for her as Louise'...more

Rating:

"According to the 2001 census, women outnumber men in the capital by 180,000." Is this true or does Jenny Colgan make her main protagonist Katie only read this headline in a newspaper to start off with her story? Katie, a PR specialist, her flatmate Louise and Olivia, her boss, who's also her friend, pretend not to be too keen on finding Mr Right, after all they're hip, up-to-date, feminist career women, but they need to be shagged/get laid* regularly to keep up their self-esteem. When we get to know Katie, she's been "Four months, entirely chap-free", then she has a date with a man in a pub who is so horrible that having no date at all suddenly ...  Read the complete review

She is at a stage in her life where she is bored and desperately wants a change from the same old routines of work and going out to trendy clubs with her friends, who are all in search of the perfect man.
