Book Review:
Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is the hilarious and heartwarming sequel to Helen Fielding's iconic Bridget Jones's Diary. The Wilderness Years are over! At the end of the first book, Bridget hiccuped off into the sunset with the man of her dreams, Mark Darcy. Now, in The Edge of Reason, she discovers what it's really like when you have the man of your dreams actually in your flat – and he hasn't done the washing-up, not just this week, but ever. Lurching through a morass of self-help theories, struggling with a boyfriend-stealing ex-friend, an 8-foot hole in the living-room wall, a mother obsessed with boiled-egg peelers, and a builder obsessed with large reservoir fish, Bridget embarks on a spiritual epiphany that takes her from the cappuccino queues of Notting Hill to palm-and magic-mushroom-kissed shores. This book is gloriously funny – there's a laugh on every page. Bridget is back, and she's as charming, awkward, and lovable as ever. A must-read for anyone who loves smart, witty, and utterly relatable romantic comedies.
