Bridget Jones's Diary meets Sex and the City in the perfect
beach read-a New York Post columnist's true-life adventures
in work and dating What if Bridget Jones were alive and well and living in
Manhattan? Meet Bridget Harrison, a soon-to-be-thirty Brit,
newly-on-the-scene reporter for America's most famous
tabloid, the New York Post. While her friends back in London
are tossing their bridal bouquets, Bridget is chasing down
the next big story-and her dream of becoming a topnotch
journalist. But just when she's perfected the art of
interviewing complete strangers about ghoulish crimes,
finding a mate in the Big Apple proves downright, well,
impossible. As Bridget learns (the hard way) the vexing rules of dating
in the ultimate singles city, a silver lining appears in her
dating cloud: She lands her very own Post column about her
quest for love. Each Sunday half a million New Yorkers read
about her match-ups with urban Romeos, including a man who
tells her she'd be "one hot chick if she made a bit more of
an effort" (even though she's wearing her Page Six pal's
designer cast-offs) and another who shoves her into a cab
before she can say "bugger off." Pursuing love under
deadline, however, doesn't make finding it any easier,
especially when each week she has to run her copy by the
very person she suspects might be the One. Wonderfully
funny, poignant, smart, and gossipy, in the best sense,
about the New York/Hamptons set, this tale is every woman's
story of the quest to have it all: a great job, a true
love-and a livable apartment. Which, after all, doesn't seem
so bloody much to ask, does it?
