Publisher Description
The #1 bestselling book that defined the 20th century—now updated for the 25th Anniversary!
Meet Bridget Jones—a 30-something Singleton who is certain she would have all the answers if she could:
a. lose 7 pounds
b. stop smoking
c. develop Inner Poise
Bridget Jones’s Diary is the devastatingly self-aware, laugh-out-loud daily chronicle of Bridget’s permanent, doomed quest for self-improvement—a year in which she resolves to: visit the gym three times a week, not just to buy a sandwich, form a relationship with a functional adult, and learn to work the television remote.
Over the course of the year, Bridget loses a total of 72 pounds but gains a total of 74. She remains, however, optimistic. Through it all, Bridget will have you helpless with laughter, and—like millions of readers the world round—you’ll find yourself shouting, “Bridget Jones is me!”

"Soooooooooo hilarious! I loved these books so much I then struggled with the film, but then that's always the way for me. Bridget is fab, so real and honest and it's fantastic to live her lie with her through her diary. So easy to pick up and put down...but you very soon want to pick it back up again! Fab read."

" niet uitgelezen, het enige dat ik kon denken was: stop met drinken, stop met roken en stop vooral met zagen. Mss omdat het in dagboek stijl was dat ik het niet zo leuk vond, al zijn er andere boeken zoals 'The Wild Girl' die wel de moeite waard zijn. "
