All of Bridget’s insecurities and strengths, mistakes and good choices, joys and sorrows are written in the same abbreviated style. This book reads so much like a real personal journal that, at times, it is almost like an invasion of privacy.
Obviously Bridget is off to a flying start. How do these resolutions and the following year go? Here is a quote from an entry on the first day of the year:Īnyway, have got giant tray-sized bar of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk left over from Christmas on dressing table, also amusing joke gin and tonic miniature. Bridget starts with an intimidating number of resolutions – they range from making up a compilation of mood tapes to losing weight, giving up smoking, alcohol and crushes, and replacing the crushes of course with relationships based on mature assessment of character. The diary starts appropriately on January 1, and ends on the following New Year’s Eve.
Not only is it funny, it is autobiographical for any number of single women trying to make a living while going through the process of life and dating. Until I read Bridget Jones’s Diary, I never thought I would enjoy a book that is in diary form, much less give it Desert Isle Keeper status. Sometimes a book comes along that makes us take a real look at ourselves through the laughter.
