A GoodReads Reader’s Choice<\/p>\n

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:   
<\/b>
What do you do when your girlfriend’s sixtieth birthday party is the same day as your boyfriend’s thirtieth?<\/p>\n

Is it better to die of Botox or die of loneliness because you’re so wrinkly?<\/p>\n

Is it wrong to lie about your age when online dating?<\/p>\n

Is it morally wrong to have a blow-dry when one of your children has head lice?<\/p>\n

Is it normal to be too vain to put on your reading glasses when checking your toy boy for head lice?<\/p>\n

Does the Dalai Lama actually tweet or is it his assistant?<\/p>\n

Is it normal to get fewer followers the more you tweet?<\/p>\n

Is technology now the fifth element? Or is that wood?<\/p>\n

If you put lip plumper on your hands do you get plump hands?<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

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 Bad, outdated phrase approaching!—middle age.<\/p>\n

In a triumphant return after fourteen years of silence, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy<\/i> is timely, tender, touching, page-turning, witty, wise, outrageous, and bloody hilarious.<\/p>\n
