Review: The Carrie Diaries (The Carrie Diaries, #1) by Candace Bushnell

The Carrie Diaries The Carrie Diaries by Candace Bushnell
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

"The Carrie Diaries" delves into the earlier years of Carrie Bradshaw, before she became a renowned social observer in the City. Set in her senior year of high school in suburban Connecticut, the story follows Carrie and her tight-knit group of friends, including Walt, Lali, Maggie, and the Mouse. Amidst the typical high school dynamics of popular Jens, jocks, and the privileged Jets, a new presence enters Carrie's life: Sebastian Kydd.

Sebastian is an intriguing and unpredictable older bad boy who captivates Carrie's attention. She embarks on the relationship she had always dreamed of having during her high school years. However, when a friend's betrayal shakes her world, Carrie begins to question everything she thought she knew. As her days in high school draw to a close, Carrie realizes it's time to pursue her deepest desires and go after everything she has ever wanted. This coming-of-age story unveils the transformative journey that shapes Carrie Bradshaw into the iconic figure she becomes.

Not as exciting as the whole Sex and the City exploits. Even though this IS a teen drama book I got fed up with all of the whining and ridiculous attitude of the characters. Maybe I am just getting too old to deal with this crap but it was overly much for me.
