Great romance. Great Regency.

Mixes the everyman likeability of Nick Hornby with a splash of the offbeat intellect of Douglas Coupland

Such a charming, feel-good story

Bridget is a bit older, no wiser and still funny.

[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.

The third instalment, like Bridget herself is a lot more grown up, has some valuable lessons about life, loss and love - but is still great fun. VV Good.

Bridget is still lovable and seeing a more mature version of the heroine coping with motherhood and bereavement is really quite moving.

I read the book. I loved it. I loved her. She's smart, she's funny and she makes us all feel like we're good just the way we are.

Bridget’s bittersweet days with Mabel and Billy focus an unaffected – and unexpected – tenderness … A new chapter in the fairy tale can begin.

Sweet, clever and funny.

She’s our Bridget in other words, all over again – but just a couple of decades removed.

Fielding is a smashing writer and in many ways Bridget Jones is an engaging creation.

Now past 50, a widow after Darcy’s death, [Bridget] blunders through the quest for mid-life loves and childcare nightmares with the all comic missteps and pratfalls fans adore.

Laugh out loud funny… an inviting comfort blanket of a book for those many readers who loved Bridget before, who have grown up with her, and who are intrigued to find out what became of her.

In this third installment of the diaries, our hapless heroine continues to agonise over the tribulations of modern life large and small, from single parenthood and dating in the age of social media to the perils of the skinny jean.

Fielding’s comedic talent remains undimmed.

There is poignancy as well as humour.

We are back to the old Bridget Jones in all her life-affirming glory.

Feels like visiting with your funniest friend

I read the book. I loved it. I loved her. She’s smart, she’s funny and she makes us all feel like we’re good just the way we are.

Fresh, frantic and very funny.

Long-awaited.

Bridget is back! ... The third book in the series does not disappoint, taking the reader on a whirlwind tour of Bridget's life as a 50-something, and all the highs, lows, tears and laughter that you'd expect.

What remains unchanged – and addictive – is its diary format.

Life may have changed dramatically for Bridget, but you can still prepare to laugh and cry at Helen Fielding’s latest novel.

Fans of the original books have not been, and will not be, disappointed.

Tender, touching and often hilarious – a welcome return.

Bridget is as hopeless, loveable and funny as ever.

An uproariously funny novel of modern life, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is the triumphant return of our favourite Everywoman.

Laugh-out-loud funny, as well as punctuated by moments of genuine sadness, which are proportionately balanced throughout the story.

Timely, tender, touching, witty, wise and bloody hilarious

Hilariously written

This book is an innocent pleasure, and made me laugh a lot
