Up until now, Carrie and her friends have been inseparable. Then Sebastian Kydd comes into the picture, and a friend's betrayal makes her question everything.
With an unforgettable cast of characters, The Carrie Diaries is the story of how a regular girl learns to think for herself and evolves into a sharp, insightful writer.

Through adventures both audacious and poignant, we'll see what brings Carrie to her beloved New York City, where her new life begins.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This polished prequel to Sex and the City reveals the ample drama that filled Carrie Bradshaw s life before her move to Manhattan. With wit and insight, Carrie chronicles her emotionally charged senior year at a small Connecticut high school. While her friends lives seem to be falling into place especially on the dating and sex fronts Carrie has just been rejected by a summer writing seminar in New York City, and laments, I have nothing figured out at all. She falls hard for a slick underachiever who eventually leaves her for one of her best friends, while her widower father grapples with single parenthood, made tougher by Carrie s rebellious youngest sister s antics. Readers should be amused by some of the period details (Carrie s 18-year-old friends can drink legally), though they don t weigh heavily on the story, making the early 1980s setting feel almost incidental. Similarly, there s little that shouts, This is the Carrie Bradshaw you know and love, as opposed to any other thoughtful teenager slowly coming into her own. But readers should enjoy witnessing Carrie s burgeoning independence and confidence as a writer. Ages 14 up.
Avis des utilisateurs
The amazing Carrie diaries
It is a spectacular book with great plot it showcases an important topic and is very relatable. Candace Busnell is a wonderful author and has many top books that all should read. Overall I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good real life story of a person with little chance, it's a book of romance, comedy, story and much more. However the book could be a little more detailed to make it even better that is why I think it deserves four and a half stars
