Bridget Jones's Diary

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 seven 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!”
