About this listen

The multi-million copy number one bestseller
One of The Sunday Times's top 100 bestselling books of the past 50 years

Welcome to Bridget's first diary: mercilessly funny, endlessly touching and utterly addictive.


A dazzlingly urban satire on modern relationships?
An ironic, tragic insight into the demise of the nuclear family?
Or the confused ramblings of a pissed thirty-something?

As Bridget documents her struggles through the social minefield of her thirties and tries to weigh up the eternal question (Daniel Cleaver or Mark Darcy?), she turns for support to four indispensable friends: Shazzer, Jude, Tom and a bottle of chardonnay.

Helen Fielding's first Bridget Jones novel, Bridget Jones's Diary, sparked a phenomenon that has seen four books, newspaper columns and the smash-hit film series Bridget Jones's Diary, The Edge of Reason, Bridget Jones's Baby and Mad About the Boy.

Bridget Jones's Diary was featured in 'The 100 bestselling books of the past 50 years' published by The Sunday Times on 18/08/2024

Hmmm

I forgot how much women were required to hate themselves in the 90s.
Yikes.
Cute story, but I'm glad feminism has moved forward.

Witty & Charming!

Number of smiles, chuckles, laughs or generally good feels while listening: 288
Days listened: 5 (well I was v. busy and could mostly only listen at night!)
Summary of book: V.V.G!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was a v. entertaining listen! Bridget Jones is a light-hearted fun/funny read/listen. Obvs books are always better than movies, but I’m still going to watch the movie ASAP! I also just finished buying the next book in the series. Can’t wait for more of Bridget’s shenanigans!

Narration

I love how light this is to listen to! Whenever I want a cheerful voiced story in the background, I got to Bridget Jones. Particularly this narration by Imogen Church ✨💛✨
