The sequel of Brid­get Jones’s diary.

Brid­get has grown up: she has a nice job and an even nicer boyfriend. But she still man­ages to screw things up.
This year she gets her­self in to trou­ble, or bet­ter yet, in jail, in a for­eign coun­try. Finally she gets the change to lose some weight, but this wasn’t the way she intended. The only prob­lem is; the one per­son who can get her out of trou­ble, she isn’t speak­ing to.

bridget jones’s diary — helen fielding

3 stars

Brid­get is in need of a boyfriend and quick. She knows she’s not get­ting any younger (thirty-something), so she needs to take seri­ous action. She keeps a diary to keep track of her daily trou­bles and where­abouts, vic­to­ries and mis­takes to keep her­self and her life focused.
Brid­get has two men in her life: Daniel Cleaver, a very han­som, flir­ta­tious guy, (prob­a­bly great at every­thing,) who hap­pens to be her boss and the totally inap­pro­pri­ate Mark Darcy with whom she was acquainted at her moth­ers new years turkey curry buf­fet. He’s rude, wears awful jumpers and always says the wrong things. So, the deci­sion at hand shouldn’t be a big prob­lem, should it? Then you haven’t met Brid­get yet! So busy try­ing to get every­thing right, over­see­ing the obvious.

Brid­get Jones meets James Bond — result: Olivia Joules (that’s “J.O.U.L.E.S. the unit of kinetic energy”), another char­ac­ter of Helen Fielding’s fan­tas­tic mind. In the mood for an easy read and hilar­i­ous story? Pick up this book and you’ll have a great cou­ple of days.
