Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is a 1999 novel by Helen Fielding, a sequel to her popular Bridget Jones' Diary. It chronicles Bridget Jones's adventures after she begins to suspect that her boyfriend, Mark Darcy, is falling for a rich young solicitor, Rebecca, who works with him. The comic novel follows the characteristic ups and downs of the self-proclaimed singleton's first real relationship in several years. It also involves misunderstandings, work mishaps, and an adventure in Southeast Asia involving planted drugs and Madonna songs.
In 2004, a film adaptation was released.
Two further novels, Bridget Jones: Mad about the Boy and Bridget Jones's Baby, were published in 2013 and 2016 respectively.
