I loved the first 2, I must have been 20 when I read them, I cried to read at times, I thought it was really great. I expected that Bridget, widow and fifties, has evolved, today I'm 33 and I feel it more advanced. In fact it is the same as in the first gags. I must have aged because it makes me laugh a lot less. I talked with girlfriends, apparently we all seem to have aged more Bridget. shame ...
