I'm still not really sure how I feel about this book... I guess confused...? I found myself wishing the book would just GET TO THE POINT, but it never did. It's not really a novel, but a compilation of complaints, bad behavior, and TERRIBLE characters. Why, why, WHY (hehe...ug) was EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER SO ANNOYING?!? The only likable character was Mark Darcy, and to my complete disappointment he was BARELY in the book. Why is this book such a hit? 
 I tried so hard to like this book. I was immediately turned off by the daily recordings and constant complaining, but I TRIED to convince myself that it was relatable because we're all quirky and a little crazy, right? 
 No. Just, no. 
 Seriously, Bridget is the WORST friend, and she has ZERO self control. I eat much healthier than most people, but I'm certainly not perfect, and I've had high calorie days on occasion. But SERIOUSLY, 5000 calories? 30 cigarettes? 22 smoothies?!? This is girl is BANANAS, but I'm sure the only time she's ever had a banana is if one accidentally made it into her smoothie. 
 I WILL give props where props are due, though. I chose to listen to the audio book, and thank goodness I did, because if I had tried reading the book there's no WAY I would have made it past the first page. I'd heard that the audio book was exceptional, and I was blown away by the skill and artistry that went into giving Bridget and her huge band of insane friends each their own voices and personalities. 
 I wish that I had only watched the movie, which was much sweeter and more fun than the book (also, only the FIRST movie). I found Bridget less crazy in the movie, and the men were much more present, as well as more charming. 
 Lastly, there ARE pronouns in MY diary, because I'm not a crazy person! And freaking "v.g." made me lose my mind... 
 *sigh* I think chick-lit is just not for me.
