Episode 17: Bridget Jones’s Diary

“It struck me as pretty ridiculous to be called Mr. Darcy and to stand on your own looking snooty at a party. It's like being called Heathcliff and insisting on spending the entire evening in the garden, shouting "Cathy" and banging your head against a tree.” (Listen to our Wuthering Heights episode if you haven’t already, seriously.) In this episode, Hayley tells Mariah about the book version of a movie she’s seen many times and Mariah has seen once. We compare this book to many things, including the obvious Pride and Prejudice references, My Year of Rest and Relaxation (from a previous Hayley-read episode!), and The Devil Wears Prada. This is the iconic “Bridget Jones’s Diary” by Helen Fielding. Let’s get into it.
