Description
The Carrie Diaries by Candace Bushnell is a young adult coming-of-age novel that tells the story of Carrie Bradshaw before she became the sharp, independent New Yorker readers know from Sex and the City.
Growing up in a small town, Carrie is eager to discover what life has in store for her. But her final year of high school brings unexpected changes when Sebastian Kydd enters the picture and a betrayal threatens the friendships she has always relied on. As Carrie navigates first love, family relationships and the challenges of growing up, she begins to question the people around her and discover her own voice.
Through the friendships, heartbreaks and defining experiences that shape her teenage years, the novel explores how an ordinary small-town girl develops into a confident young woman with a talent for writing and a desire for a bigger life. It also reveals the experiences that eventually lead Carrie to New York City and the beginning of a very different chapter.
A coming-of-age story about friendship, first love, self-discovery and ambition, The Carrie Diaries is ideal for readers curious about Carrie Bradshaw’s early years.
