This was similar to a Princess Diaries book written by Sophie Kinsella, and it was absolutely fantastic. I was confused about some of her friends' relationships with other people, but so were they, and watching them try to interpret signals from significant others was absolutely hilarious. I was confused about Bridget's relationship with Simon, but so was she and that was fun. I'm thankfully not old enough to have hit that point yet, but I still found this immensely relatable. I especially loved the commentary on Singletondom and how married people constantly inquired as to her love life. Her voice is so real and I loved seeing her thoughts about her interactions with her colleagues, her friends, and people she dates. I loved this because of her own self-deprecating or unrealistic comments on these.
I haven't seen the movie, so I wasn't influenced at all by this.Īs this was told as a diary, this had entries for most days, all of which begun with Bridget's weight, the amount of alcoholic units she'd consumed, the amount of cigarettes she'd smoked, and in some entries, how many lotto tickets she'd bought.
I adored this book and laughed out loud quite a bit. This was a beautiful example of how to write a really solid chick flick.
