I am so glad you liked this….I will save it for end of summer (which is August 15 this year!…cannot believe school starts so early)

Oh goodness, my teenage musings were ridiculous. I read my old diaries whenever I need a good laugh. And yes, the cover’s quite lovely. I carry the book around and pretend I’m holding a fancy designer clutch. Fake it ’til you make it, right?

I'd be tempted to buy it just for the cover ~ it's gorgeous! Thanks for reviewing this one, PCN ~ it was unexpected, and I'd now consider reading it rather than just using it as a styling prop. {I read some of my one remaining teenage diary not long ago and chuckled over my melodramas.}

I miss the series, but have been underwhelmed by the movies. Never read any of the books. This sounds like a fun, Summer read.

Janet---It's a quick read. It was interesting to compare the ladies to their younger selves. Novelwhore---It helped that I was predisposed to liking Carrie. And when I was about 15 or 16, I also went to NYC to take a writing workshop at Columbia so I could relate a little to how Carrie felt about her big adventure in the city.

I must admit I’m a little surprised to see this book reviewed here – and so positively! I most likely wouldn’t have given this another thought, but if it was enjoyable to you I’ll have to take another look.

Thanks for the review. I’ll pick it up, because of course I’m fascinated with the characters, and I look forward to reading an honest YA novel about them..or about Carrie..
