About this title

Synopsis:

THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER

What do you do when a girlfriend's 60th birthday party is the same day as your boyfriend's 30th?

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?

Does the Dalai Lama actually tweet or is it his assistant?

Is technology now the fifth element? Or is that wood?

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 modern dilemmas, Bridget Jones stumbles through the challenges of single-motherhood, tweeting, texting and redisovering her sexuality in what SOME people rudely and outdatedly call 'middle age'.

The long-awaited return of a much-loved character, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is timely, tender, touching, witty, wise and bloody hilarious.

Review:

"Bridget's back and it's v.v. good... I laughed, I cried and most of all I loved'" (Daily Mail)

"Sharp and humorous...snappily written, observationally astute...genuinely moving" (New York Times Book Review)

"A fun fast-paces, entertaining ride...I devoured the book in two days" (Cosmopolitan)

"Laugh out loud funny" (Financial Times)

"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)

Store Description

About Prelovedbooks - I am a small amateur collector selling a small number of books. I specialize in modern first editions (first printing in most cases), especially signed by the author and mainly UK editions which make ideal imaginative birthday and Christmas presents - such as Michael Morpurgo's War Horse signed directly to the book, not a bookplate. To me, a signed copy means the author has handled and added a little more of themself to that particular book when they would never generally see the vast majority that go on sale. I personally like signed UK crime and thrillers from older authors such as Frederick Forsyth, Jack Higgins, from current authors Lee Child and Robert Harris which also make great Xmas presents for Dads and Grandads! I am buying some new books for resale from authors I consider collectable, and books that hopefully will only increase in value. I also buy at auction houses, book fairs, or occasionally over the internet, so these books are almost never new, but I try and sell only books in very good or fine condition. I also have a few signed autobiographies and some odd items such as signed cinema posters. I have a number of signed books for sale by authors such as Billy Connolly, David Attenborough, Philip Pullman, Bill Bryson, Julia Donaldson and Gerald Durrell amongst many others. I strive to be honest with a book's description as I would expect to be in return and I will pack and send securely. As a book lover I understand the joy of safely receiving a much wanted book in good condition. As a buyer my real pet hate is signed books offered for sale with a stock photo of the cover only - so essentially I'm buying something blind? Is it really that much effort to add a photo of the signature? That's why I'll always have photos of the actual signed books I have to offer on AbeBooks. Thank you for reading and please check out all my signed books. You never know!
