What this book is about

Bridget Jones has decided to keep a diary. She tracks her weight in careful increments, her cigarette count, her alcohol units, and her ongoing disasters with men—primarily the smug Daniel Cleaver and the apparently insufferable Mark Darcy. Bridget Jones's Diary is a British romantic comedy told in diary form, a modern riff on Pride and Prejudice with a heroine who is chaotic, self-deprecating, and deeply loveable.
