You know that feeling of satisfaction when you actually can relate to the main character and you almost feel like you're the hero of the story? That sense of accomplishment and pride? 
 Well, let's simply say that I felt even too much related to Bridget, and I can't exactly say it was a nice feeling. Because well... she's not a woman many people would be envious of. 
 But since I'm not here to discuss about how sad and unlucky the main character is (or at least, not a deep analysis of her) let's focus on the book. 
 While it's true that some parts can be considered pretty funny (not even I have ever had so many misfortunes one after the other), it's also true that after it becomes rather repetitive and a bit unnatural. 
 However, if you've just finished a tough book and you need something lighter and less demanding, this is the perfect choice. Short, diary-like, simple plot, colloquial language... an easy read to make your mind rest after a challenging novel!
