Bridget Jones's Diary

I've never seen the movie so I figured I might as well read the book after all this time. It's cute and funny and nostalgic, reminds me a bit of the Angus, Thongs (Georgia Nicholson) series, but for adults. Haha. I imagine if this was written now, it'd be extremely problematic. It's kind of annoying at parts, especially how she records her weight and calories eaten every day and then beats herself up about it. It seems she has a genuine eating disorder that isn't at all addressed, but instead made into a joke. It's not cute. I'm trying to chalk it up to the time period because for some reason people didn't know better even though they should have. So if you push that part aside, it was cute and funny. I'd read the second one just to pass the time. But it's nothing to write home about.

Would I recommend?
Eh. Did you like the Georgia Nicholson series as a kid/teen? Then sure. Or do you like 90s-ish british humour? Sure. Otherwise, may be a pass.
Trigger warning for ED.
