In this audio version of the tale of the modern miss, Bridget's manhunt is gruelling--the rockiest of rides. Her first encounter with the mysterious Mark puts our sensitive heroine on quite the wrong track. And all thanks to a diamond-patterned golf jumper--who could be so shallow and judgmental? Well, there's Bridget of course, and her friends Jude, Shazzer and Tom, not to mention the "Smug Marrieds", and even her own mother, whose interests in Latino go way beyond a pair of maracas.
The diary style lends itself well to audio format. As her search for true love reaches its dizzy, near-farcical, climax, Ms Bennett (Bennett, Darcy... haven't I, wasn't there a...?) brings flesh to the bones of a disparate (and desperate) group of people in Bridget's life. For example, menopausal Mrs Jones and her dumped-on husband; the boss whose opinions of Bridget's publishing prowess stand little higher than a gardener thinks of slug's ability to enhance overall appearance of flower-bed; reluctant boyfriend who prefers to draw curtains and watch cricket all weekend than be seen in public with Bridget; television producer whose salacious interest in visually sensational involves Bridget and a fireman's pole.
A fun, frolicking listen, guaranteed to be lapped up by all single girls looking for Mr Right (or a Mr Darcy), and the "Smug Marrieds", eternally grateful it's all over now. --Carey Green
A dazzling urban satire of modern human relations?
An ironic, tragic insight into the demise of the nuclear family?
Or the confused ramblings of a pissed thirty-something?

'I cannot recommend a book more joyfully. . . Hilariously funny, miraculously observed, endlessly touching' Daily Telegraph
