A review by longy207
The Carrie Diaries by Candace Bushnell

3.0

This was an OK read although it wasn't really what I was expecting. I knew it was Carrie Bradshaw before sex and the city but I didn't expect it to be so teenage angst.

The main character is Carrie and similar to the Sex and the City Carrie we all know and love she is juggling, life, what she wants to do with it and boys. Her life revolves around school, colleges, family and potential future and two guys. One, the coolest boy in school and the other a guy from her dram college.

The secondary characters are the other friends and family, although I didn't really feel a great connection to them.

The storyline is interesting but I feel it is aimed at a much younger audience than me so was maybe lost on me. The pacing is decent.

2.5 stars
