Summer and the City: A Carrie Diaries Novel by Candace Bushnell


I will admit that I was rather hesitant to read Summer and the City, since I disliked the Carrie Diaries but I found it to be much more interesting.

This book flows and Carrie's friendship with other characters flourishes and expands. The, Carrie from the, Sex and the City series begins to emerge and this make for a satisfying read.

The relationship with, Samantha and Miranda builds as Carrie falls in love with New York City and all it has to offer.

A perfect beach read!

Grade: A-



Synopsis: [B&N]
Summer is a magical time in New York City and Carrie is in love with all of it—the crazy characters in her neighborhood, 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.
