About this ebook

The Carrie Diaries is the coming-of-age story of one of the most iconic characters of our generation.

Before Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw was a small-town girl who knew she wanted more. She's ready for real life to start, but first she must navigate her senior year of high school. Up until now, Carrie and her friends have been inseparable. Then Sebastian Kydd comes into the picture, and a friend's betrayal makes her question everything.

With an unforgettable cast of characters, The Carrie Diaries is the story of how a regular girl learns to think for herself and evolves into a sharp, insightful writer. Readers will learn about her family background, how she found her writing voice, and the indelible impression her early friendships and relationships left on her. Through adventures both audacious and poignant, we'll see what brings Carrie to her beloved New York City, where her new life begins.

Ratings and reviews

This book is so amazing, better than the television series. I love Carrie on the show don't get me wrong, but she's more dramatic in the book. Her life isn't so innocent like the tv show series shows, and Sebastian.. uff you'll just have to read what TRULY happens. It's a great book! Must read.

It's a great book and a great show. I really enjoyed it and I would recommend it. However, the book is supposed to be a prequel to Sex and the City. There are some discrepancies between her background in the HBO series and her life portrayed in this new series. Just saying... Still a GREAT book though. A definite must-read for any fan

16 something book, very quick read! wish there was one right after, you will know why !
