did not enjoy this very much. bridget was insufferable, spent the entire book complaining about being 9 STONE. do not read this is you have an eating disorder. there were the occasional bits that made me laugh, the person who recorded the audio was very good but the only good characters were tom and mark. i did enjoy though that hugh grant was mentioned and colin firth as me darcy in pride and prejudice was mentioned and they ended up playing the love interests in the film. also some of the plot was very boring like the whole crime julio plot was a snoozefest
