Bridget Jones's Diary Helen Fielding
It's such a pleasure reading a book by a female author and finding out that she can write something to which you can relate so easily. By far, Helen Fielding has done a wonderful job on "Bridget Jones's Diary". Not only is the book funny, but the story and characters being believable, makes the book an utter treat. After a long, long time, have I come across a heroine that you can't not love. Bridget is not just the girl next door, she could well be your best friend...she could be you. Bridget is single, distressed with herself and her looks, she's dying to meet a nice guy and hates it when people ask her about her love life.
