ReviewsPraise for Bridget Jones and Helen Fielding: "She's back!  Our favorite hapless heroine returns after a decade-plus hiatus, juggling two kids, potential boyfriends, smug marrieds, rogue gadgets, and her nascent Twitter feed." -- Vogue   "How can a reader not love this woman?" -- The New York Times Book Review "Bridget Jones is a joy and a comfort, and Helen Fielding is bloody great." -- Mademoiselle "One of the most enchanting heroines to ever overdraw her bank account." -- USA Today "Hilarious but poignant." -- The Washington Post "A brilliant comic creation. Even men will laugh." -- Salman Rushdie "Fielding . . . has rummaged all too knowingly through the bedrooms, closets, hearts, and minds of women everywhere." -- Glamour "Unforgettably droll." -- Newsweek "Bridget's voice is dead-on. . . . Will cause readers to drop the book, grope frantically for the phone, and read it out loud to their best girlfriends." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer "Fielding is a wonderful comic novelist." -- Time "Tells the truth with a verve as appealing to men on Mars as it is to Venusian women." -- Entertainment Weekly "Bridget Jones is channeling something so universal and (horrifyingly) familiar that readers will giggle and sigh with collective delight." -- Elle

SynopsisA GoodReads Reader's Choice 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.
