Bridget
Jones:
Mad
About the Boy
Publishers
Weekly - October 2013
England’s
sweetheart Bridget Jones returns after over a decade in Fielding’s
latest novel (after Bridget Jones:
The Edge of Reason). Bridget, now a single mother to two young
children, is trying to catch up with the rest of the world. Just
figuring out how to program the remote and her son’s X-box is
overwhelming enough, but now her friends are pushing her to get back
into the dating scene. Determined to stay hip, Bridget is dating
Roxster, a man 15 years her junior, who she meets through her trials and
errors on Twitter. But juggling motherhood and a new boyfriend, while
dealing with producers trying to turn her screenplay from tragedy to
comedy may be more than Bridget can handle. Whether she is
unintentionally announcing her family’s head lice infestation to her
production team or getting stuck in a tree while looking after her
daughter, fans will find Fielding’s third Bridget Jones installment
hilarious and thoroughly entertaining. This book is sure to be a hit
among new and old readers alike. Fielding’s awkwardly charming
character has aged well - but of course not gracefully.
