Bridget Jones

More about the book

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy marks the highly anticipated return of one of modern literature's most beloved characters, created by Helen Fielding. Following the success of Bridget Jones's Diary and its sequel, which sold over 15 million copies and inspired blockbuster films, this new installment explores Bridget's life in contemporary London. As she navigates the complexities of aging, maintaining her sex appeal, and the pitfalls of modern technology—like drunken texting, skinny jeans, and the chaos of multiple remotes—Bridget's relatable struggles resonate with readers. This uproariously funny novel captures the essence of modern life and celebrates the enduring charm of our favorite Everywoman. Helen Fielding, the author, studied English at St Anne's College, Oxford, and has a background in writing and producing for the BBC. She has contributed to major publications such as the Sunday Times, the Telegraph, and the Independent, where her anonymous column evolved into the iconic Bridget Jones's Diary. With her unique voice and keen observations, Fielding continues to engage and entertain readers with Bridget's adventures.
