Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City fame wasn't always a stylish, socially adept New Yorker. In fact, as this standalone sequel to The Carrie Diaries shows, Carrie was once a frightened country girl worried about her chances of finding her way in the Big Apple. Now, in Summer and The City, she's settling into New York rhythms, taking a writing class, and meeting new friends, including two interesting young ladies named Samantha and Miranda!

An enjoyable romp of a read.

The 1980s Manhattan setting is vividly realized, while Carrie’s friendships, doubts, joys, and truisms are relatable and revealing for teens and recognizable for adults. Both audiences will flock to this installment, like Carrie to Chanel.

‘Summer and the City’ is Grade-A chick lit from one of its masters.

If ever a book resounded with positive messages for young people, it’s this one.
