It was a delight to catch up with Bridget in (supposedly) her early fifties, a single mother with two small children to bring up, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book - as I knew I would.

I have long outgrown chick lit but as I am a closet Bridget fan I could not resist this 3rd instalment.

A pleasant return visit with an old friend, but not a patch on the first book. I had a few giggling-out-loud moments, but it was bittersweet.

2,5 starsFirst of all - (view spoiler)Not good, not good at all. Also, not sure why I bothered with spoiler tags. Everybody in a book world have heard about this blasphemy anyway.Well, nothing I can do about it to correct this unjustice, so this leaves us with Bridget. We are fastforwarded five year...
