My favorite chick-lit heroine is Bridget Jones. If you are thinking that she can't walk and chew gum at the same time, you probably have only seen the movie and not read the book. Just like any movie that is said to have been adapted from a book, this movie bears minimal resemblance to the book, if at all. Moving on to just some of the reasons I 'get' her in no particular order...
* She is not really overweight, just that she can do better. Which is why she obsesses over her weight :)
* Her phone conversations with her mother are, ahem, a little challenging.
* She might be a bit of a dork, but she's not stupid. (If you don't think the two are different, we are not going to agree on anything anyway).
* She cannot bring herself to be rude to people who are rude to her.
* She decides to take on high-and-mighty social events but chickens out at the last minute :P
* She loves Mr. Darcy and Mr. Darcy.
* She cannot resist the temptation to day dream when she is supposed to be working :D
And now, how good is a post on Bridget if it does not include this? ;)
Over to you now. Who is your fave chick-lit heroine?

the first that comes to my mind is Rebecca Bloomwood (Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella) she is bad but there is a little Becky within me (I keep her at bay most of the times).
Another fab heroine is Nan Cloutier (Calendar Girl by Naomi Neale), loved her!
Unfortunately, I started off on the wrong foot with Becky (saw the movie which is always a bad idea!) Will certainly check out Nan :) - thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I agree it's a terrible movie
