Most people would think Annie Baker had it all: an idyllic life in the country and a fabulous job as a film producer. And so would she, if it weren't for the men in her life. Her six-year-old son Charlie gets traumatised if she buys the wrong kind of sausages. Her tempestuous boss Barney is a Great Director, but keeps getting stuck with dog food commercials, and as for Lawrence, well, he just wants to get her fired. And then she meets Mack Hilarious and poignant, The Only Boy for Me will make you laugh and cry.

India Knight, Marian Keyes and Helen Fielding all in one, The Only Boy for Me is a must read for city girls who are growing up. McNeil's Divas Don't Knit sold over 25,000 copies in 2008 and now The Only Boy for Me has a companion look The Only Boy for Me was televised starring Helen Baxendale as Annie Baker.
