Publisher's Summary

A dazzling urban satire of modern human relations? An ironic, tragic insight into the demise of the nuclear family? Or the confused ramblings of a pissed thirty-something? The third installment in Bridget Jones' journey, Mad About the Boy, will be out in October 2013.

Critic Reviews

"A brilliant evocation of life as a single girl in a certain time... reads like Anita Loos out of Jane Austen, and any woman who has ever had a job, a relationship or indeed a mother will read it and roar" ( The Times)
"I cannot recommend a book more joyfully... Hilariously funny, miraculously observed, endlessly touching" ( Daily Telegraph)
"Wild comedy... observed with merciless, flamboyant wit. A gloriously funny book" ( Sunday Times)

Easy, entertaining listen

I listened to this as part of a book club selection, and I wasn’t overly excited at the prospect, but very quickly I was engaged! I had enjoyed the film but hadn’t previously realised it was based on a book! I found it light listening, funny, relatable and generally very enjoyable. It’s an unique-feeling narration style and a modern retelling of an old, well loved piece of literature.

Loved

The Bridget Jones in the book is different from the movie and I loved every moment of it.

A classic

Hilarious insight into the mind of a single 30-something searching for love. Hasn't lost relevance in the age of mobile phones.

The perfect reader for a perfect book.

Although having read the novel many years ago and watched the movie, I still found this to be immensely enjoyable. The real world humanity of Bridget is something that we all have, but hide from everyone but our closest friends.

Laugh out loud funny!

Hilarious! Narrator was amazing as Bridget. Laughed many times at ridiculous situations Bridget gets herself into and loved that it was so different from the movie.
