Kind of interesting book about a chick who gets ditched and moves to Africa to help at a refugee camp. She later comes back and realizes the superficiality of the life she had left.

Written earlier than the Bridget Jones books, and much deeper. Not just an interminable diary about pounds lost and gained, drinks drunk, and fellows not won; Cause Celeb is about a Bridget-like woman who transcends all that, goes to Africa to work in a refuge camp as a 20th century woman's analog of the French Foreign Legion, and discovers how unnecessary and unmerited her previous obsessive insecurity was. A charming book. I don't know why this one wasn't made into Helen Fielding's first movie instead of "Bridget." I read this one about once a year just for fun.

I didn't enjoy it much as I was expecting to.
