Start using Mumsnet PremiumBooks similar to Bridget Jones?
(11 Posts)I really ennoyed all 4 Bridget Jones books quite a lot. I also read another more recent, related book, called Hot Mess: Bridget Jones of a New Generation by Lucy Vine.
Are there any other books you enjoyed that are related, especially if they are also written in diary format?
Thanks.
I thought 'the wrong knickers' was good by Bryony Gordon
It was written in a different period but I think Diary of a Provincial Lady has similarities with Bridget Jones. The self deprecating humour, anyway.
Thanks. Will take a look at these.
It's all in the title!!! www.tripfiction.com/novel-set-in-ww2-london-a-former-bridget-jones-perhaps/ Dear Mrs Bird is WW2 equivalent (I think, anyway...)
I was going to say Diary of a Provincial Lady - for after Bridget Jones gets her man, has two children and finds Mr Darcy has retreated behind his newspaper and she’s left trying and failing to impress the neighbours and manage the kids (with only a cook and a maid to ease her burden )
A bit different but The Sober Diaries by Claire Pooley
Rachel's Holiday by Marian Keyes
Letters rather than a diary, but try Nina Stibbe's Love Nina. Another vote for the Provincial Lady. Letters again and also older, but Joyce Dennys' Henrietta's War might also appeal. More letters but Jill Tweedie's Letters from a Faint-Hearted Feminist is also well worth a try.
Hens Dancing and sequel Summertime by Raffaella Barker both in diary format.
I'll look into these. Thanks for reviving this thread!

Yes, she does get her man! I don't know about you, but that was the most rushed romance ever. I couldn't really find anything particularly likeable about Scott Wallaker.
