Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy

NOW A PEACOCK ORIGINAL FILM • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of the bestselling Bridget Jones's Diary comes a hilarious and heartwarming novel. Join Bridget on her journey through romantic mishaps, technological misadventures, and the joys and trials of modern motherhood as she embarks on a new chapter and learns to embrace herself. “[Bridget's] smart, she’s funny and she makes us all feel like we’re good just the way we are.” —Jenna Bush Hager, Today “Feels like visiting with your funniest friend.” —Entertainment Weekly "Sharp and humorous. . . . Snappily written, observationally astute. . . . Genuinely moving.” —The New York Times Book Review Fourteen years after landing Mark Darcy, Bridget’s life has taken her places she never expected. But despite the new challenges of single parenting, online dating and wildly morphing dress sizes, she is the same irrepressible and endearing soul we all remember—though her talent for embarrassing herself in hilarious ways has become dangerously amplified now that she has 752 Twitter followers. Bridget navigates head lice epidemics, school-picnic humiliations, cross-generational sex, and learns why one should never, ever text while drunk. Studded with witty observations about the perils and absurdities of our times, Mad About the Boy is both outrageously comic and genuinely moving. As we watch her dealing with heartbreaking loss and rediscovering love and joy, Bridget invites us to fall for her all over again.
