Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding
3.75
adventurous emotional funny hopeful lighthearted reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Bridget is her own worst enemy. She overfixates on superficial details, isn’t terribly observant of her surroundings and ends up shooting herself in the foot. Her mother is a nuisance all around and I cannot even begin to fathom the state of the economy to support her lifestyle. Thirty years ago was certainly a different time. 

I enjoyed her friends and Mr Darcy and overall it was a quick, enjoyable read.
