About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Bridget Jones is mad about the boy – the gloriously funny and heartwarming million-copy bestseller, now a major film starring Renée Zellweger.
What do you do when a girlfriend’s 60th birthday party is the same day as your boyfriend’s 30th?
Is it morally wrong to have a blow-dry when one of your children has head lice?
Is sleeping with someone after 2 dates and 6 weeks of texting the same as getting married after 2 meetings and 6 months of letter writing in Jane Austen’s day?
Pondering these, and other dilemmas, BRIDGET JONES stumbles through the challenges of single motherhood, online dating, and achieving ‘acceptance and calm’ in what SOME people rudely call ‘middle age’.
‘In an emergency, I turn to Bridget Jones’
DOLLY ALDERTON
‘Groundbreaking, iconic…a trailblazer’

Editor reviews
If you enjoyed the other Bridget Jones books then you will probably like this one too (if you can appreciate the typical Bridget mishap humour and ignore the fact you know how everything is going to pan out in the end).
I thought the performance was good and I am sure I will listen to this again when I want to listen to something that will make me laugh.
Exactly what you would expect but great humour

Probably as can't write off an author for one book you didn't enjoy as muchWhat about Samantha Bond’s performance did you like?
She does a great impression of drunk person and overall thought her reading of it was goodDid you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Not really the way the previous books didAny additional comments?
Generally enjoyed catching up with Bridget although some parts more than others and it was written as if mimicking the other films of the previous books rather than the books themselves as if anticipating it to be turned into a screen play again and not worrying so much about development of storylines. Also the relationships repeated a predictable pattern and with foreseeable results. And despite Bridget claiming to be alone all the time she appears to be able to develop relationships by little or no effort at all on her part. I liked the school mums interaction and dramatic bit towards the end but otherwise was a little bit flat which is a shame but it may translate better as a film where less content is required.Was a bit predictable

I was hoping that at least there might be more original ending.
Not as funny as the previous books
