    About this ebook

    A game that's fun for all ages!
    Some assembly required. . . . . .

    Step One: Open Box
    Warning: Some Pieces May Have Sharp Edges

    Former art student Toby Morris is twenty-five, and she knows she's supposed to be out there . . . somewhere . . . building a career by day and filling up her nights with an endless parade of men. Instead, she's working at Toyland, designing instruction sheets for one of the biggest toy companies around . . . and if she never sees hot pink doll hair, cardboard game spinners, or glow-in-the-dark mini race cars again, it'll be too soon.

    Step Two: Insert Metal Tab (a) Into Plastic Base (b)

    Toby is bored . . . what she needs is some excitement, some change in the emotional weather. And she gets it the day she tunes into the weekend TV news and gets a good look at cute meteorologist J.P. Cody. Suddenly, the clouds break, and Toby decides to make J.P. her very own action figure. Only trouble is, J.P. has no idea who Toby is. At least, not yet . . .

      I’m standing on a street in Sydney dressed in a hot-pink minidress and Barbie-esque platforms when a truck driver calls out a “heyyyyy sexy” as he drives past. Catcalling! In the year of our Lord 2022! I thought we were past that, but apparently all
