...DEAR NERVOUS: Man overboard! Where I come from, we have a saying about matters of the heart: "If you've gotta ask..." Your very confusion is your answer. So, date your girlfriend. Be a friend to her son. But do not get married just yet. When the people who love and know you best say it's a bad idea, you should listen. Besides, you're too young...

With nuggets of wisdom such as "Get a massage" and "Be more real than honest," this book is great bathtub reading for "other women" and a hoot for the rest...
...dear, oh dear. By the time Bridget has landed in a Thai prison (don't ask) more than halfway through Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (Viking; 338 pages; $24.95), the reader is beyond caring. Hapless is one thing--as the tremendous popularity of Bridget Jones's Diary showed, hapless can be endearing. But hapless with no sign of a learning curve, in a sequel that has none of the novelty of the original yet is much longer--now that will try the patience of even a Bridget...
