8.45 P.M. Realise there have been so many times in my life when have fantasised about going to a scan with Mark or Daniel: just not both at the same time.
Before motherhood, before marriage, Bridget, with biological clock ticking very, very loudly, finds herself unexpectedly pregnant at the eleventh hour: a joyful pregnancy which is dominated, however, by a crucial but terribly awkward question – who is the father? Mark Darcy: honourable, decent, notable human rights lawyer? Or Daniel Cleaver: charming, witty, notable fuckwit?
9.45 P.M. It’s like they’re two halves of the perfect man, who’ll spend the rest of their lives each wanting to outdo the other one. And now it’s all enacting itself in my stomach.
In this gloriously funny, touching story of baby-deadline panic, maternal bliss, and social, professional, technological, culinary and childbirth chaos, Bridget Jones – global phenomenon and the world’s favourite Singleton – is back with a bump

Review:
I am a huge Bridget Jones fan!
I have read every Bridget Jones book and watched every film.
Helen Fielding has created a character that is relatable, funny and hugely popular.
Like many readers I enjoyed the books more than I did the film. That is not to belittle the hugely popular films or the brilliant actors; I just enjoyed the books more. When I read ‘Mad About the Boy’, I cried and laughed and felt a sense of closure for Bridget and her life. It was a gorgeous read and I loved every page.
I remember hearing the news that there would be another Bridget Jones film and was intrigued to see how the story would be told. In case you haven’t read the book, I really can’t say much, but for those of you have, you will understand why I was intrigued.
