  • Summary

  • "Bridget Jones’s Diary" is a hilarious and relatable novel by Helen Fielding. It follows the life of Bridget, a single thirty-something woman living in London, who is struggling with her smoker's lifestyle, issues with alcohol, her love life, and her constant weight fluctuations. The story is told through her diary entries which start with counts of her current weight, cigarettes smoked, alcohol units consumed, and sometimes a calorie count. Penning her thoughts and self-reflections, she details how she navigates her life between her eccentric, overbearing mother and her group of supportive friends. Bridget's quest for self-improvement includes hapless stints at diets and fitness, and interviews with pretentious intellectuals. Throughout the novel, Bridget embarks on two tumultuous romantic relationships – one with her roguish, playboy boss Daniel Cleaver, and the other with a childhood family friend, the serious and aloof Mark Darcy. Bridget's journey towards self-acceptance makes situations, like her attempts to cook up a blue soup or sliding down a firehouse pole, all more humorous.
