  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

it wasn’t BAD but it wasn’t good either 💀 i understand it’s diary format but my god, the writing style wasn’t very good. it wandered too much, and lacked focus. bridget was wayyyyy too quirky—annoyingly so—and i found myself rolling my eyes a lot. it was funny sometimes. the characters also had 0 personality. i can’t stress that enough. it was just bridget word-vomiting in her diary. i’ve read better diary books. 

also, bridget was OBSESSED with weight loss (literally mentioned her calories every 5 seconds), so that was extremely annoying to me.

i like lighthearted books every once in a while, but this was not it. i don’t recommend. 

i will say that if you liked dolly alderton’s “everything i know about love” (which i despised lol), you might like this.
