Summer and the City - Candice Bushnell

“The heart wants what the heart wants," she says, somewhat cryptically. I purse my lips in disapproval. "You'd think the heart would know better.” - Carrie Bradshaw 


Summer is a magical time in New York City and Carrie is in love with all of it—the crazy characters in her neighbourhood, the vintage-clothing boutiques, the wild parties, and the glamorous man who has swept her off her feet. Best of all, she's finally in a real writing class, taking her first steps toward fulfilling her dream. 

This sequel to The Carrie Diaries brings surprising revelations as Carrie learns to navigate her way around the Big Apple, going from being a country "sparrow"—as Samantha Jones dubs her—to the person she always wanted to be. But as it becomes increasingly difficult to reconcile her past with her future, Carrie realizes that making it in New York is much more complicated than she ever imagined. 

With her signature wit and sparkling humor, Candace Bushnell reveals the irresistible story of how Carrie met Samantha and Miranda, and what turned a small-town girl into one of New York City's most unforgettable icons, Carrie Bradshaw.


All I can say, is that if you loved the Sex and the City TV show, you will love this book. It was full of Candice Bushnell's quirky yet insightful observations on love and modern life just like the series and even though you know ultimately how it is going to end, it still takes you on an hilariously exciting journey through New York to see how Carrie meets her best friends.

Highly recommended for Carrie Bradshaw fans.
