I was recommended the book by several people, and so I thought I'd give it a go. As a teenage male reader, I was not expecting to enjoy reading about the life of a single thirty-two-year-old female. How wrong could I be? This novel is laugh-out-loud funny, and you will without doubt fall in love with the heroine, Bridget. Other parts are more poignant, and really make you feel for her - you completely experience her highs and lows. It is written in an amazing 'diary' format by a fantastic author, and by the end of the last page I was laughing non-stop by the "January to December Summary". Experience every cigarette she smokes, every pound she gains (and loses!), every scratch card she buys and every time Bridget dials 1471!
One of the funniest modern books I have ever read. Give it a go!
