    About Bridget Jones’s Diary

    The #1 bestselling book that defined the 20th century—now updated for the 25th Anniversary!

    Meet Bridget Jones—a 30-something Singleton who is certain she would have all the answers if she could:

    a. lose 7 pounds
    b. stop smoking
    c. develop Inner Poise

    Bridget Jones’s Diary is the devastatingly self-aware, laugh-out-loud daily chronicle of Bridget’s permanent, doomed quest for self-improvement—a year in which she resolves to: visit the gym three times a week, not just to buy a sandwich, form a relationship with a functional adult, and learn to work the television remote.

    Over the course of the year, Bridget loses a total of 72 pounds but gains a total of 74. She remains, however, optimistic. Through it all, Bridget will have you helpless with laughter, and—like millions of readers the world round—you’ll find yourself shouting, “Bridget Jones is me!”

    About Bridget Jones’s Diary

    Newly released movie tie-in edition!

    Meet Bridget Jones — a 30-something Singleton who is certain she would have all the answers is she could:

    a) lose 7 pounds
    b) stop smoking
    c) develop Inner Poise

    Here is the laugh-out-loud daily chronicle of a hilarious year in the life of the devastatingly self-aware Bridget Jones; a year in which she resolves to: reduce the circumference of each thigh by 1 1/2 inches, visit the gym three times a week not merely to buy a sandwich, and form a functional relationship with a responsible adult.

    Bridget struggles to keep her life on an even keel — or at least afloat. Whenever her plans meet with disaster, she manages to pick herself up, go out on the town, and tell herself it will be all right in the morning, when life will definitely be different this time and totally alcohol, calorie, and perverted-misogynist free.

    Bridget Jones’s Diary will make you like yourself for precisely those things you’re most ashamed of. And through it all, Bridget Jones will have you helpless with laughter, and shouting,
    "Bridget Jones is me!"
