The plot is, again, better than the film. Mostly disappointed that Rebecca wasn’t a lesbian

Första halvan av boken undrade jag varför jag ens läste den här när jag verkligen inte blev särskilt imponerad av första Bridget Jones-boken men faktiskt så växte den och mot slutet uppskattade jag boken mycket. Jag tycker fortfarande inte att serien har åldrats bra och det förekommer en del rasistiska kommentarer och jag tycker verkligen inte om att Bridget till stor del beskrivs som korkad och nativ och att hon aldrig får vara bra eller duktig på nånting. Tack och lov ändras det under bokens gång.

I den här delen i serien om Bridget Jones är det inte riktigt lika mycket fokus på vikt och sånt och jag anser att den här delen är betydligt bättre än första delen.

okay like......definitely an improvement on the first one (perhaps lack of daniel cleaver helped lmao)

i do kind of wish these books weren't ENTIRELY diary entries, i think there can be a good balance between diary entries and regular storytelling

still not much looking forward to third book, i never intended to read it knowing the premise, but since i'm not gonna be rereading these again, i'll go ahead and do it, but it's just like.....ugh why did you have to do that helen fielding. wonder if she always planned to do a third and it just took time or if she thought she was done and was like "oh i've got something"

also i do gotta say as someone who's like "yeah gotta change" and then doesn't i do love a "she's just like me fr" character like bridget, it's just nice to relate! even though a lot of the things she does/situations she ends up in like....very very different from me

being creepy about a teenage boy ugh why do people think it's humorous when adult women do it like i assure you it is just as gross as men waiting for teenage girls to be ~legal~

i feel kinda sad seeing jude marrying that guy, i know people can change and we hadn't actually really MET his character before, but it sounded like he consistently treated her terribly in the first book, so like...boo

LOVED everything with colin firth, i'll give her that, losing the voicemail message was v funny

anyway yeah like still has A LOT of bits that i just had to cringe through and move on, but def not as bad as the first one imo

okay it got better in the second half but still Bridget was the dumbest b for the first 150 pages why was that.

I never get tired of the hilarious Bridget Jones!
