A breezy read. Ms. Bridget Jones is indeed an intriguing character. I was disappointed by the relative absence of Mark Darcy in the 300 page book, considering he is important to the story.

3 // This book was overall enjoyable! For some reason (likely my tendency to being rather dumb), I didn’t realize this was a Pride and Prejudice retelling until halfway through. However, the actual retelling starts to really work it’s way in towards the latter half anyways so I luckily didn’t miss any of those connections. That being said, at times this book was a bit repetitive and simply “meh”. The latter half was by far my favorite because everything became more fast paced and a bit less redundant. Honestly, I found Pride and Prejudice to be faster paced than this was so take that as you will. Nonetheless, this was quite the fun read and I would recommend it.

This was cute. I enjoyed a lot of the book but thought there were things that could use some improvement. I didn't see the need to have such a focus on weight, being a huge fan of the movie (where weight is mentioned but not a focal point) kind of bothered me.

I do prefer the movie for some aspects but the book for others. The book was quite funny, I'm sure people must think I'm crazy in the cars next to me due to the constant laughter. And I'd recommend for that reason.
