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.
