BOOK REVIEW
The book is very easy to read because the author uses easy words. Though it's a diary and It always follows the same scheme in the diary there isn´t only story because there is dialog between the character also.
My favourite character is Mark Darcy because along the novel you can see that he's a good and sensitive person. It has suffered in love before to know Bridget and he doesn´t want it returns to pass the same thing. I like Mark Darcy because he loves Bridget as she´s. He loves Bridget though she is obsessive, chaotic and she never knows wants what.
I would recommend it because it's a funny book.
