Publisher Description

Meet Bridget Jones -- a 30-something Singleton who is certain she would have all the answers is she could:

a) lose 7 pounds

b) stop smoking

c) develop Inner Poise

Here is the laugh-out-loud daily chronicle of a hilarious year in the life of the devastatingly self-aware Bridget Jones; a year in which she resolves to: reduce the circumference of each thigh by 1 1/2 inches, visit the gym three times a week not merely to buy a sandwich, and form a functional relationship with a responsible adult.

Bridget struggles to keep her life on an even keel -- or at least afloat. Whenever her plans meet with disaster, she manages to pick herself up, go out on the town, and tell herself it will be all right in the morning, when life will definitely be different this time and totally alcohol, calorie, and perverted-misogynist free.

Bridget Jones's Diary will make you like yourself for precisely those things you're most ashamed of. And through it all, Bridget Jones will have you helpless with laughter, and shouting,

"Bridget Jones is me!"

"i bought this boook for one dollar at The Strand, oneo f my favorite bookstores in NYC. it's such a funny book, i havent' watched the movie yet. the story had a very distinct voice, which is part of why it was so good. i think Bridget's personalilty was great as well"

    " This book makes me want to do tampon ads and eat cheesecake. It is funny and makes you go "squeeeeeee" a lot with the handsome Mr. Darcy. Makes me wanna do a best friends dance movie montage to "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". "

    " "It struck me as pretty ridiculous to be called Mr. Darcy and to stand on your own looking snooty at a party. It's like being called Heathcliff and insisting on spending the entire evening in the garden, shouting "Cathy" and banging your head against a tree." "

    " I had the incredible urge to read this entire book in a British accent, and had to work fairly hard not to do so aloud. However, I wasn't head over heels for the book. It was good, and enjoyable, but perhaps because of the British slang, it wasn't as relevant. Also, maybe age difference... "
