The Carrie Diaries by Candace Bushnell

I'm almost finished reading The Carrie Diaries. Almost every time when I come to the end of a book I have a little hesitation in finishing it. So now isn't any different, so I thought this would be a good moment to post a blog about this book. 


Like a lot of girls/women I saw the Sex and the City series and movies. So when I heard of this book about the last high school year of Carrie I really got curious and bought it.


It isn't your standard chicklit if you ask me. At least that's not how interpreted it. I really see it as a diary written by a girl who wants to become a writer and tells about her life as a senior on high school. A book full of life experiences. But you really have to see this book apart from the Sex and the City character if you ask me to really enjoy it like that.


Here is the story from the back of the book:
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.
