I bet everyone knows this book! It’s a classic cringe comedy as Joni would call it. Oh, and it made into the movies! To be honest I felt like the movie actually polluted my imagination as I was reading this book as I could just imagine Bridget as Renée Zellweger (there is no way from running away from that image now!). Although as expected there are plenty of differences between the book and the movie.
What I liked about it? Writing style of course! As you know me well, I really like casual chatty writing style ;-). Besides, I could really relate to Bridget and all her awkward moments. Not her lifestyle thankfully although I do envy her freedom a tiny weeny bit. One think I couldn’t agree more with Bridget is the subject of Christmas gift giving. This sums it up exactly how I feel: “Ugh. Would that Christmas could just be, without presents. It is just so stupid, everyone exhausting themselves, miserably haemorrhaging money on pointless items nobody wants: no longer tokens of love but angst-ridden solutions to problems…”. There you go, I said it!
What I did not like about it? Hmm… nothing really. I must be a fan of cringe comedy then (lol).
Is it worth buying? Certainly! it’s an easy read, perfect for holidays. Even if you watched the movie million times!
Have fun while reading!
