Monica: Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding (271 pages)

Favorite Quote: "'How does a man with a beautiful girlfriend manage to have a blow job from a prostitute, get found out and get away with it?' I panicked. My mind went blank. 'Well?' he said. 'Well? Come on, say something!' 'Well, maybe,' I said, because it was the only thing I could think of, 'it was because somebody swallowed the evidence.'"
