Mad About the Boy by Helen Fielding

3.5

dark emotional funny hopeful lighthearted reflective sad tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Extremely miserable but also pretty funny. I loved the friendships, tolerated the relationships (except the final one which I adored) and felt hopeful by the end.

I don't know if I'll include it in subsequent rereads as I like the idea of Bridget and Mark having a happily ever after, but feel glad to have read it.
