Girls’ Night Out (1987)

The Llama Parlour (1991)

Altar Ego (1998)
Altar Ego burned up bestseller lists in Britain and Australia–now American readers have a chance to fall in love with Kathy Lette’s larger-than-life characters. Becky Steele is a self-proclaimed "new feminist" and holder of the Girls’ Night Out record for the shortest amount of time between meeting someone and shagging him (nine minutes). But she has a query. Would it be a serious breach of etiquette to run out on her own wedding? Yes, the man in question is the right one. But has she had enough wrong ones? To make sure, she embarks on a jock-strap-twanging affair with a much younger rock star. (If only she didn’t have to back out of the room so he can’t see the backs of her thighs…) Sex, lies, and relationship angst play out to hilarious consequences in this absolutely fabulous novel.
To Love, Honour and Betray (2008)
Lucy’s been married for so long, her wedding certificate should be in hieroglyphics. When Jasper walks out after eighteen years, she panics. What will she do about vehicle maintenance, shifting heavy objects and Allen keys? Not to mention her rebellious teenage daughter Tally, who blames Lucy for the marital meltdown. Low self-esteem is hereditary: you get it from your kids. While Tally’s busy trying to find a loophole in her birth certificate so she can put herself up for adoption, Lucy strives to accept that a child is for life and not just for Christmas. Could teenagers be God’s punishment for having sex in the first place?
This is a book about what to do when you fall in love. (Wipe it off your shoes before you walk it all over the carpet.) But above all it’s a survival guide for anyone who has realized that the perfect marriage is like an orgasm – many of them are faked
