Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of the bestselling Bridget Jones's Diary comes a hilarious and heartwarming novel. Join Bridget as she embarks on a new chapter filled with romantic mishaps, technological misadventures, and the joys and trials of modern motherhood.

“Feels like visiting with your funniest friend.” —Entertainment Weekly

"Sharp and humorous. . . . Snappily written, observationally astute. . . . Genuinely moving.” —The New York Times Book Review

Fourteen years after landing Mark Darcy, Bridget’s life has taken her places she never expected. But despite the new challenges of single parenting, online dating, wildly morphing dress sizes, and bafflingly complex remote controls, she is the same irrepressible and endearing soul we all remember—though her talent for embarrassing herself in hilarious ways has become dangerously amplified now that she has 752 Twitter followers. As Bridget navigates head lice epidemics, school-picnic humiliations, and cross-generational sex, she learns that life isn’t over when you start needing reading glasses—and why one should never, ever text while drunk.

Studded with witty observations about the perils and absurdities of our times, Mad About the Boy is both outrageously comic and genuinely moving. As we watch her dealing with heartbreaking loss and rediscovering love and joy, Bridget invites us to fall for her all over again.

    It was with high enthusiasm that I bought the book as I had enjoyed the previous ones and the title was very enticing. But I must admit I had a hard time to get into it. I felt bored at times with the whole Roxter story. But I desperately wanted to know how it would end so I kept reading and in the last 200 pages read it fast. By the way the Part Four is written Part One in the pages so needs to be corrected. I knew I was long gone from Part One ! 😳😄. Still this is our Bridget and I still love her !

  • Loved it!

    Disappointing! I'm a fifty year old woman but could not relate to the character. I did in the previous books, it took a lot of strength for me to finish reading the book. Bridget was so in mature and foolish all together

    Unrealistic and predictable but still entertaining.

    Bridget Jones was such a part of my early middle adulthood, I was a little bereft at not having another installment. Mad About the Boy was a perfect trajectory for our heroine. Traveling in the same life phases as Jonesy, I really felt for her, at times tearing up with her in the tome. It's the right progression IMHO and a very satisfying read.

  • My old friend is back!

    I loved this book! If you loved Bridget in the first two books I don't know how you could resist this one! She's older now, life has changed, so it may not be exactly what you are expecting, but it's her voice- and I for one am glad to hear it again!

    What I love about Bridget is that she is perfectly imperfect. It is what makes her so easy to relate to. This book had me laughing. It has me crying - I hope Bridget comes back again!

    Quirky and funny just like the originals- but I liked it even better due to Bridget's many trials and errors with her children. A warming lesson in humanity- even if people make mistakes, as long as their hearts are in the right place, we should always forgive them. I would love to have a friend like her!
