Bridget Harrison

A real-life Bridget Jones's Diary meets Sex and the City...an insider's look at what life is really like in the big city. Harrison doesn't shy away from the funny - but sometimes sad - truths

Candace Bushnell, author of Sex and the City

This is almost better than Bridget Jones' Diary... She's gutsier and funnier than Bridget but just as socially and fashionably inept. And she resolves to get to the bottom of why it's so damn difficult to meet a good man in New York, with some truly laugh-out-loud funny twists

A brilliant read - single women will find it both shocking and hilarious

As hilarious as it is tear jerking. A real insiders' comedy of New York

This Sex and the City/Bridget Jones hybrid will have you gripped as our Brit heroine embarks on a new job and a string of dates in New York City. It's honest and funny - but the best thing is, it's all true

Bridget Harrison is so much funnier, so much sexier and so much more fundamentally human than Bridget Jones, that Helen Fielding ought to just pack up and go home

Ever wondered how Bridget Jones would handle living in New York a la Sex And The City?...Tabloid Love lets you fulfil your fantasy of living like Carrie &amp; co without the heartache, headaches or huge credit-card bills. And it's every bit as exciting as you imagined. Does our girl find her Mr Big? Well that would be telling

Based on the author's own exploits, this amusing read tells the tale of London journo Bridget who is feeling the pressure to settle down and become a yummy mummy as she nears the age of 30...Funny and easy to read, with a great lead character

A delicious treat for a sunny afternoon... Vivid, pacey and very funny

A disarming mixture of candour, breeziness and wit...Cheerful, pragmatic and funny, this book is more like a natter over a few Cosmopolitans with a chatty girlfriend

Forget the blurb - can I give you my telephone number?

Brit girl Bridget's New York adventure gives the Sex and the City girls a run for their money. Honest, witty and lots of fun

A juicy journalistic tale of love and headlines...provocative and charming

Kirkus Reviews (Eagerly Awaited, Must-Read Titles 2006)

Real-life chick lit drama...Harrison's misadventures will inevitably draw comparisons to those of the other Bridget (Jones)

Like many a first date, Tabloid Love is life-affirming

Although there are tabloid tales, including a restauranteur who had his head chopped off by one of his waiters, Tabloid Love is at its best and funniest when Harrison recalls her (many) dating disasters and complete inability to understand American men - or should that be men in general?

An amusing and often very frank account of someone who, for all her English reserve, often wears her heart on her sleeve - where it is most likely to get battered and bruised

You're about to turn thirty, all your friends are getting engaged and pregnant - and your body-clock is ticking. Then you get an offer to move to New York. So you take a chance and break up with your boyfriend - only to land yourself in the singles capital of the world. 
 
When Bridget Harrison arrived in Manhattan to work for America's most famous tabloid, the New York Post, she was in at the deep end from day one. Dispatched by day to cover murders and muggings in the roughest corners of New York, by night she began to write a column about her search for love in a dating shark tank. So far so Sex and the City - until she realised the one man she was falling for also happened to be her boss (and unfortunately this wasn't fiction). 
 
 
THE HIGHS: 
Being sent out to cover your first breaking news story 
Having the chance to go on a new blind date every week 
Realizing you love your editor 
 
THE LOWS: 
Finding no-one you interview can understand your accent 
Going on a new blind date every week 
Realizing you love your editor
