Bridget Jones—one of the most beloved characters in modern literature (v.g.)—is back! In Helen Fielding's wildly funny, hotly anticipated new novel, Bridget faces a few rather pressing questions:
What do you do when your girlfriend’s sixtieth birthday party is the same day as your boyfriend’s thirtieth?
Is it better to die of Botox or die of loneliness because you’re so wrinkly?
Is it wrong to lie about your age when online dating?
Is it morally wrong to have a blow-dry when one of your children has head lice?
Is it normal to be too vain to put on your reading glasses when checking your toy boy for head lice?
Does the Dalai Lama actually tweet or is it his assistant?
Is it normal to get fewer followers the more you tweet?
Is technology now the fifth element? Or is that wood?
If you put lip plumper on your hands do you get plump hands?
Is sleeping with someone after two dates and six weeks of texting the same as getting married after two meetings and six months of letter writing in Jane Austen’s day?
Pondering these and other modern dilemmas, Bridget Jones stumbles through the challenges of loss, single motherhood, tweeting, texting, technology, and rediscovering her sexuality in—Warning! Bad, outdated phrase approaching!—middle age.
In a triumphant return after fourteen years of silence, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is timely, tender, touching, page-turning, witty, wise, outrageous, and bloody hilarious.

Series: Bridget Jones (#3)
This was the third part of the Bridget Jones series, featuring 90s-girl, 20-something Bridget's huuuge leap in time to the digital age (2013). She's struggeling with technology (Twitter, her smartphone, her TV,...) and her TWO kids, which apparently she had at a rather late stage in her 40s, as sh...
Bridget Jones, znana nam dotychczas jako trzydziestokilkuletnia singielka desperacko szukająca miłości, powraca w nowej odsłonie. 10 lat małżeństwa z Markiem praktycznie nic w niej nie zmieniło. Nadal jest tą niezdarną, ale zabawną kobietą z lekką nadwagą, zaliczającą przy każdej okazji (i bez okazj...
Nachdem ich schon vor Jahren die ersten beiden Bridget Jones-Bücher "Schokolade zum Frühstück" und "Am Rande des Wahnsinns" begeistert verschlungen habe und auch von den Filmen sehr begeistert war, musste natürlich auch der neueste Roman über die sympathische und chaotische Bridget gelesen werden. F...
Move over, Bridget Jones’s diary: She’s back, and this time she’s texting and tweeting. . . 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...
Bridget Jones = problemy. Dwójka dzieci, 'wiek średni', brak Marka, technologia, która czyha z każdego możliwego kąta, nadwaga i brak stabilności emocjonalnej. Jones, jak to Jones (choć chyba powinnam napisać Darcy?), z 50siątką na karku, próbuje stawić czoło wszelkim przeszkodom, jakie napotyka każ...
