What to expect

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’.

You'll be left feeling like you've just met up with an old pal you haven't seen for ages – and wish you could have done it sooner
Closer
Fielding is entertaining and insightful, her timing immaculate.
Mail on Sunday
Those of us who loved her the first time will be glad to welcome her back – big pants, fillers and all.
Observer
The advances of communications technology since the mid-Nineties were made for Bridget's more obsessive side.
Independent
Bridget is a bit older, no wiser and still funny.
Independent on Sunday
[Bridget’s] appeal is in her ability to pull the happy ending we’d all love from the chaos and self-doubt of everyday life.
