Hey all , are you a big fan of the Television show "Sex and the City" , are you a Samantha , Carrie , Charlotte or Miranda ?. When somebody mentions Sex and the City, even if you are not a fan of the TV Series - chances are that you have a reasonable knowledge on what the other person is talking about. Or are you one of those people who prefer the books over the TV Show/Movies ?.

When it comes to Sex and The City , I am one of the latter people. I have read the books written by author Candace Bushell - in fact I have read everything written by Candace. :-) . Have you ever wondered what Carrie was like before entering the world of Sex and the City ? If so , then you will enjoy today's book review of Candace Bushell's latest release "The Carrie Diaries".


The Carrie Diaries - Candace Bushell -2010

Have you ever watched Sex and The City and thought hmmm, I wonder what the characters were like before Sex and The City. Author Candace Bushell brings to us a prequel of sorts in the format of the life of Carrie Bradshaw - a teenage girl in high school. Carrie always dreamed of becoming a writer , she had her fair share of boyfriends , girl troubles and friends/frenemies , she was on the swimming team, smoked cigarettes, vandalised and drunk alcohol , went to parties and wrote for her school newspaper.
Carrie was just like us all when we were in college. We read as Carrie is wowed by the new school Hottie Sebastian who turns out to be more trouble than any girl should have to handle , we read as Carrie takes the role as mother of her family when her mother passes away. When Carrie's dreams are dashed , she is heartbroken and dazed , however after the advice of a good friend George - Carrie decides to head back on track with her dream and heads off to the big city of New York , leaving just a note for her family. Ever wondered who the first person , Carrie met in New York , are you ready for it ..............Samantha.
This book is a delight and every teenage girl will relate to the experiences that Carrie went through in her teenage years. Excellent if you are a Sex and The City fan , but if you aren't then this is still a really good read - think along the lines of Louise Rennison's Angus,Thongs and Full-Frontal snogging.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
