Thirty-something singleton Bridget Jones chronicles her hilariously disastrous attempts at self-improvement through diary entries filled with calorie counts, cigarette tallies, and romantic mishaps. As she navigates the chaos of modern dating, career pressures, and her perpetual quest to lose weight and gain inner poise, Bridget's brutally honest and endearingly neurotic voice captures the universal struggle of trying to get your life together. This wickedly funny diary follows one woman's year-long journey of small victories, spectacular failures, and the realization that perhaps she's perfectly imperfect just as she is.

(how is it possible to put on 4 pounds in the middle of the night? Could flesh have somehow solidified becoming denser and heavier?
