The Carrie Diaries by Candace Bushnell


Ever wonder how Sex in the City’s Carrie Bradshaw became a writer? Who was she before she was in the city? This book is a prequel to the television series. The book opens with Carrie’s senior year in high school. She lives in a small town where the most exciting thing to happen in years is that a new guy has moved to town. Carrie has a group of friends who drink, hang out, and talk about boys.

For fans of the show it’s interesting to see what this character was like in high school and how she becomes a writer. Fans will also like the surprise of discovering how Carrie and another character from the show meet for the first time. (Embarrassingly I squealed). I’m not sure how many teen girls are fans of the show…I don’t know if people who don’t know the character will care that much about who Carrie is or her story. You have to care about Carrie to want to read the book, and the book alone did not make me feel close to her or care about her.

This book is really for fans of the show more than someone looking for an introduction to the character.
