How on earth could it make its way to BBC's 100 top reads, if it wasn't written by a woman or wasn't about life of a woman in 90's? Or maybe BBC lists are not that great, anymore?

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.
