Synopsis
A year after getting together with Mark Darcy, Bridget Jones finds domestic happiness harder to sustain than she expected. Convinced Mark is drifting toward his glamorous young colleague, she talks herself into a breakup, then takes a television assignment to Thailand with her old flame Daniel Cleaver in an attempt to move on.
The trip goes badly wrong: a poorly considered favour lands Bridget in serious trouble with the local authorities, and getting home again takes more than she bargained for. Told in Fielding's familiar diary form, the book follows Bridget through professional embarrassments, well-meaning but chaotic advice from her friends, and her mother's latest scheme, on the way to sorting out what she actually wants.
The sequel to Bridget Jones's Diary, it keeps the same self-deprecating, list-making voice while widening the story's stakes and setting.
