Description
Bridget Jones is mad about the boy – the laugh-out-loud million-copy bestseller, now a major film starring Renée Zellweger.
‘In an emergency, I turn to Bridget Jones’ DOLLY ALDERTON
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’.
