Summer And The City: A Carrie Diaries Novel

Summer And The City: A Carrie Diaries Novel by Candace Bushnell, HarperCollins, $24.99.

A 17-year-old Carrie Bradshaw leaves her small hometown to take on Manhattan, where she is determined to make it as a writer before the summer is over.

In this sequel to The Carrie Diaries, we finally learn how Carrie meets Samantha and Miranda, and how she falls in love with the unofficial fifth character of the Sex And The City series.

Although Summer And The City appears to be aimed at teenage audiences who can easily relate to the “making new friends, losing your virginity and the does he/doesn’t he like me” plot lines, the older Sex And The City fans will find the nostalgia of Carrie’s internal musings just as addictive as she navigates these coming-of-age experiences with the added hilarity of hindsight.
