For the same sharp one-liners and sometimes darkly comic scenes, dive into Cause Celeb — the debut novel of Bridget Jones's Diary author Helen Fielding. With the story of a 20-something literary publicist who ditches London to run an African refugee camp, the book offers insights into obsessive celebrity culture and flawed charity efforts.

Obsessed with London-set romantic comedies? As the title suggests, From Notting Hill With Love . . . Actually by Ali McNamara tells the story of a film fanatic who moves to London and hopes to live out her own movie-like happily ever after.

Maria Murnane's Perfect on Paper: The (Mis)Adventures of Waverly Bryson features a sharp, clever heroine who — in a very Bridget Jones-like spin — writes herself witty notes about singledom that she hopes to turn into a line of greeting cards.

In Happily Ever After by Harriet Evans, Eleanor Bee moves to London, establishes her publishing career, and falls in love. Ten years later, she's in New York, living a life much different than the one she'd always imagined for herself, and she can't help but feel nostalgic about her past.

Like Bridget Jones, the heroine in British author Katie Fforde's Practically Perfect has two crushes: sweet, adorable Rob and suave, charming Max, a high-profile personality in her industry.

Fans of Bridget Jones will fall for Gemma Craig, too — she's the lovable heroine in When in Doubt, Add Butter, a feel-good novel by Beth Harbison. While Gemma, a private chef, struggles with love, she also engages with a fun, eccentric cast of characters.

The single-girls-in-the-city plot gets a refreshingly realistic, sometimes raw spin in These Girls, a novel by Sarah Pekkanen. In it, three female roommates trudge through everything from job woes to body-images issues to complicated friendships.

With offbeat characters and a witty heroine, A Total Waste of Makeup by Kim Gruenenfelder follows the story of Charlie, a personal assistant to a Hollywood star who finds herself crushing on another guy in the business.

A Girl Like You by Gemma Burgess tells the story of Abigail, a newly single woman who turns to a London playboy for dating advice.
