Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason » (Unabridged)

Helen Fielding is the author of the New York Times bestseller Bridget Jones's Diary, which began as a weekly newspaper column. She currently resides in London.

Picking up where her blockbuster bestselling BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY left off, THE EDGE OF REASON finds Bridged in an up and down relationship with Mark Darcy. It's four weeks later, and already the honeymoon is over: the man of her dreams votes conservative and folds his clothes at night, making Bridget feel pressured to do so as well. But all of these problems pale in comparison to Rebecca - a beautiful, man-hunting arch-nemesis without a girlfriend code of ethics when it comes to stealing another woman's man. As always, Bridget's best Singleton friends Jude and Shaz are there to give her advice from the pages of GETTING THE LOVE YOU WANT and KEEPING THE LOVE YOU FIND with some unexpected results.

These last, especially the latest, are tremendously funny and invested with a large, melancholy intelligence.
