It’s the constant whining about men, weight and the rollercoasters of her self-esteem.
It’s not her poor judgement that infuriates me. If Jane Austen writes women who speak to other women throughout the ages, Helen Fielding has got modern women down to a T. Because let me tell you, Bridget Jones is so self-centred she makes Narcissus look like a self-hating ‘emo’ teen.ġ2-year-old me loved her ‘just as she was’, but 23-year-old me wants to slap her in the face multiple times whilst screaming at her to get a grip. That is why it was a total mistake to dive into her adventures again at age 23.

Something about her made me feel good about my weird teenage years ruled by acne and trying to find a boyfriend despite my braces. She was my hero whilst growing into womanhood. 12-year-old me had much to discover about relationships, but I identified with Bridget’s clumsiness, social awkwardness and her sass. I knew from the beginning that I’d love it, mainly because it was everything my mother did not want me to read: its main topic was sex, and Bridget and her friends swore a lot. I first opened Bridget Jones’s Diary by Helen Fielding on a summer vacation that I should have spent reading Shakespeare.
