I enjoyed this one! Laugh out loud funny. And I'm glad the movie held considerably well to the book. I didn't like the fact that during the entirety of this book, there was still a lot of focus on Bridget's weight, and constant weigh ins and calorie counting. I feel I would enjoy it far more if there was less of that and more of the romance and comedy to the story.

I'll likely continue on with the series. The best way for me is audiobook!

I know most people think it's contrived, but I think the scene where she's drunk-christmas-carding is hilarious.

I enjoyed this book, it was a nice easy read, as well as a nice change from the last book I read (which was quite dark). Overall a typical chick lit book (although since it has been a while since I read the first one at the beginning I did keep getting it mixed up with Confessions of a Shopaholic…). The one thing I didn't like was the section with Thailand and the drugs. That seemed a little over the top and out there for me. It just didn't seem to fit the book. Other than that I quite enjoyed it.
