Publisher Description
The Carrie Diaries is the coming-of-age story of one of the most iconic characters of our generation.
Before Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw was a small-town girl who knew she wanted more. She's ready for real life to start, but first she must navigate her senior year of high school. 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. Readers will learn about her family background, how she found her writing voice, and the indelible impression her early friendships and relationships left on her. Through adventures both audacious and poignant, we'll see what brings Carrie to her beloved New York City, where her new life begins.
Customer Reviews
Although uneventful it's entertaining
The Carrie Diaries was relate able and was full of typical teenage drama and had lots of personality! Personally I only read the book because I heard they're starting a series on the cw network! The plot was predictable but entertaining but the ending fell short. Hopefully the next book will be better! :)
Terrible!
While I was excited to meet "Pre-New York City, 30-Something" Carrie, I was terribly disappointed by Bushnell's pushover and boy-crazy character. The book didn't introduce us to that brave Jane Austin-esque heroine we've all come to know and love but rather- I felt sorry for her, like one would for a tragic female character in a Shakespeare drama (like that nit-wit Desdemona). Don't waste your time. And Ms. Bushnell- please stop promoting smoking in your books!!!! Young girls read these and shouldn't have a false "cool" impression of smoking in 2010!
Over done
The story line of the young, slightly insecure, trying to find herself high school girl has been way over done time and time again. For example the story line is also already been done by the TV show Jane by Design in the last couple years.
