When Helen Fielding first wrote Bridget Jones's Diary, charting the life of a 30-something singleton in London in the 1990s, she introduced readers to one of the most beloved characters in modern literature. The book was published in 40 countries, sold more than 15 million copies worldwide and spawned a best-selling sequel, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. The two books were turned into major blockbuster films starring Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth. With her hotly anticipated third instalment, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Fielding introduces us to a whole new enticing phase of Bridget's life set in contemporary London, including the challenges of maintaining sex appeal as the years roll by and the nightmare of drunken texting, the skinny jean, the disastrous email cc, total lack of twitter followers and TVs that need 90 buttons and three remotes to simply turn on. An uproariously funny novel of modern life, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is a triumphant return of our favorite Everywoman.

Helen Fielding (born 19 February 1958) is an English novelist and screenwriter, best known as the creator of the fictional character Bridget Jones, and a sequence of novels and films beginning with the life of a thirtysomething singleton in London trying to make sense of life and love.

Bridget Jones's Diary (1996) and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (1999) were published in 40 countries and sold more than 15 million copies. The two films of the same name achieved worldwide success. In a survey conducted by The Guardian newspaper, Bridget Jones’s Diary was named as one of the ten novels that best defined the 20th century.

In November 2012, Fielding announced she had begun writing the third instalment in the Bridget Jones series. Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy was published in Autumn 2013 with first-day sales in the UK exceeding 46,000 copies. It was the second biggest selling novel of 2013 in the UK, occupied the number one spot on the Sunday Times bestseller list for a total of 26 weeks and has sold over two million copies in 36 countries. In her review for The New York Times Book Review, Sarah Lyall called the novel 'sharp and humorous' and said that Fielding had 'allowed her heroine to grow up into someone funnier and more interesting than she was before.'

Reviewed in India on 15 August 2017
Bridget Jones : Mad About the Boy by Helen Fielding is the final book in the series of our beloved Bridget’s diary entries. This novel marks the return of Bridget, in the present day London, nearly 20 years later from where the previous novel ended. This book chronicles the life of now middle aged Bridget via her entries in her loyal diary.

Bridget, 51, a widow, is the mother to Mabel, seven and Billy, five. It’s been four years since Mark’s death, and Bridget has not been able to get over him. She was devastated when the news of his death had reached her, it was hard for her to live without him, and that too with 2 infants to look after. Having married a man as perfect as Mark, she needn’t worry about the finances and her and the children’s requirement, for her ever so flawless husband had arranged everything - a roof over their head and enough money for Bridget to not work anymore.
Cut to present, Bridget is upset about the lack of a professional career and therefore, decides to enter into the scene once again with screenplay writing with no luck whatsoever. Also, after being celibate since Mark died, her friends coax her into getting on in the dating game again. As she tries to wade the turbulent and judging waters of social media, along with trying to strike a balance between her work and kids, she chances upon Roxster, almost 25 years younger to her. She gets into a relationship with him, and for the first time in after Mark’s death, has her mood uplifted. Roxster adores his woman, but their age difference is not unseen by either of them, which ultimately results in their parting ways.
While Bridget was busy with her troubles, falling in love with Roxster and trying to be an aware parent in the midst of highly immaculate peer-parents, especially competing with that Nicolette, Mr. Wallakar, Billy’s teacher comes into picture several times, always when she is in distress over something or the other, often criticizing Bridget for her lack of ability to help herself. Unknown is the fact that he himself is dealing with a divorce and custody of his 2 sons, and has a thing for Bridget, which is later revealed. Since both of them have had their share of being married, they decide to give marriage a miss and live-in, for the sake of their children, for the sake of themselves and for the sake of being in the company of someone whom they love, to be together, for each other.
This book portrays Bridget as she was, she hasn’t changed, under-confident, hapless, apprehensive - the only thing that’s changed is that she, now, is all alone, bringing up her 2 kids, because at least previously, she had Mark to get her out of situations. This installment is more real than it’s predecessors, highlighting the struggles of a middle aged heroine to deal with all the new found rules of social media along with trying to get herself a decent date. Also, her uneasiness over bringing her toyboy to her place, where her kids are is quite understandable. Since the book is a Bridget Jones, one should be prepared for hilarious situations, from the technically late adopter Bridget to the lice in her children’s head, and some romance, the young bubbly one with Roxster to the matured one with Mr. Wallakar.

One thing that must be admitted about the author here is that she is resolute, by not changing Bridget in any way over the years and making her the oh-not-so-perfect heroine, she has given hopes to many like her, who will now probably believe that they too can wish for their dreams to come true. Although this complete series is a chick-lit/rom-com, it is a far cry from what others write, what with all their perfections and fantasy world. Fielding mirrors the changing values of the world via this book, highlighting the fact that though, true love may exist, it doesn’t always come with a happy ending. And yes, love can happen twice, and it need not be perfect, just enough to make one happy.
For those who have loved Bridget in her comparatively younger days, will love her even more now, for she is still the same, with an added pinch of motherly love for her equally maddening and innocent children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Le reine de la comédie littéraire
Reviewed in France on 16 September 2016

L'auteur n'a pas choisi la facilité, faire une comédie avec une veuve, et pas n'importe qu'elle veuve ! Faire une comédie en nous tuant l'HOMME pour lequel on a lu les deux autres volumes, NOTRE homme parfait, c'était ultra casse-figure, d'ailleurs j'ai acheté le livre à sa sortie mais je n'ai réussi à rentrer dedans qu'aujourd'hui, tellement cela m'étais difficile de digérer la mort de Mark Darcy. Je ne fais pas spoiler, c'est annoncé dès les premières pages.

Il m'a quand même fallu un premier tiers pour arriver à lui pardonner ce sacrilège, et à rentrer dans les habitudes de lecture, car Fielding n'a rien perdu de son art et l'écriture façon journal est intacte, on retrouve Bridget trait pour trait, jusqu'à en être un peu agaçante. Et puis le premier éclat de rire arrive, et le deuxième, au troisième j'ai carrément pleuré de rire. Or, je trouve que faire rire dans un film cela demande du talent, mais par l'écriture ? C'est tellement rare, que je voudrais tirer mon chapeau à Helen Fielding. She did it again !

Cerise sur le gâteau, elle réussi même à nous faire tomber amoureuses des hommes du livre, et ce malgré l'ombre de Mark Darcy. C'est un coup de maître, je m'incline devant elle et je la remercie de tout mon cœur pour ces larmes de rire. J'ai même réussi à faire rire mon chéri lorsque je lui ai raconté la scène en question.

Une leçon de comédie littéraire
