Whhhhhhhhhhhhhy. Why do people enjoy this? She weighs 126 lbs and thinks she's fat...Is she 4 feet tall? She sleeps with her boss. Chick lit has come a long way.

I do not get the hype. Felt very rushed at the end and also what was the need for

Bridget’s mums criminal storyline??? Is that what it took to reintroduce Mark Darcy back into the plot???? Really???

My favourite movie is based off of this book and I loved it! Bridget is such a lovable protagonist. She's so witty and funny and brutally honest. Solid lighthearted low stakes romcom read.

Did not finish because my loan was due at the library LOL but also did not want to finish and got to about 70% of the book, which was around the start of the October chapter.

Thought I'd read it because it is sucha a popular and "classic" book but reading it in 2023, I felt a lot of disconnect. All Bridget cares about is losing weight and being with a guy who is bottom of the barrel pick. Complains about her life and does not do a single thing to improve it. Annoying, annoying, annoying. I'll just watch the movie and maybe hate it too.
