Kissing Toads

Description

A very funny, very engaging novel with a plot that twists and turns and entertaining and down-to-earth characters! Delphie, garden programme presenter extraordinaire, and Roo, TV producer and queen of the messy relationship, have been best friends since their first day at school. As different as night and day, they've been there for each other's every merciless heart-breaker, every evil critic, and any and all knotty wardrobe choices.But now, Delphie's career seems slightly stuck and the spectre of the has-been garden presenter looms large on the horizon, while Roo's long-time boyfriend has secretly gone and married his long-time Romanian girlfriend. These are dire straits indeed and they decide to ditch their life of urban glamour (Delphie) and overworked late nights (Roo) and sign on for a garden make-over programme in the darkest end of Scotland. Draughty castle, craggy laird and a cast of very strange characters included - the two are in for a big surprise...
