Candace Bushnell didn't disappoint. She's really grown as an author since the choppy Sex and the City original novel. "Summer and the City" was a quick read; the chapters flow from one to the next, written with expertise in the genre. "Summer" was even better than the first because the Carrie Bradshaw that we know and love from the Sex and the City TV series is alive and well on the written page. If you listen closely, you can actually hear her high-pitched, squeaky voice in the dialogue. The novel documents Carrie's first summer in New York City, between graduating high school and going off to college in the fall at Brown University. She bounces between residences, attends writing classes, starts dating, and meets various new people -- some friendly, some not. It is The Big Apple after all. Best of all, she begins meeting the women whose friendships she'll retain for life. Throughout the novel, Carrie starts to question relationships -- friendships, romantic relationships, and sexual ones. From all of her questioning, we see the beginnings of the popular column that she'll write for the New York Star one day. The novel and series may be labeled as "young adult," but I think these books are totally geared for fans of the hit TV show, regardless of age. I hope Bushnell continues to write Carrie's beginnings for years and years to come. New TV series, anyone? Review: You simply can't not love Summer and the City - It doesn't matter where I am, when or in what mood. It doesn't matter on which continent and in what timezone I find myself; I always feel a little bit at home when there are books from Candace Bushnell around. She's an amazing woman and writer. She's no Kafka or Dostojewski, but she's brilliant in her own genre, books that make you feel good and give you a really great time reading them. And of all her brilliantly smart and witty books, Summer and the City is defenitely one of my favourites! Sex and the City, However, is always going to have an extra sentimental feel and emotional value for me. I've read it in Dutch, French, German and in English... and loved it each and every time. It made me feel better whenever I was down or had a bad day. So when the Carrie Diaries was published I was over the moon! Although it's a completly different kind of novel, I truly loved every passage of it. I had no idea it would be possible for me to love another book more, untill now. Summer and the City most defenitely proved me wrong! It's a witty, well-written story, that you just can't lay down. A true page turner, I reckon. (I hope my English is Ok, I'm sorry for the possible mistakes!) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #730,427 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #462 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction on Dating & Sex (Books) #4,796 in Coming of Age Fiction (Books) #6,412 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction | | Book 2 of 3 | The Carrie Diaries | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (739) | | Dimensions | 5.31 x 0.94 x 8 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade level | 9 - 12 | | ISBN-10 | 0061729000 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0061729003 | | Item Weight | 10.5 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 416 pages | | Publication date | April 24, 2012 | | Publisher | HarperCollins | | Reading age | 13 years and up | ## Images ![Summer and the City (Carrie Diaries, 2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pH8bCpL0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Carrie Takes NYC By Storm *by E***. on May 25, 2011* I really enjoyed reading the first book in The Carrie Diaries series, so I was looking forward to this one, the second.

(I hope my English is Ok, I'm sorry for the possible mistakes!) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fitting sequel *by 1***K on July 20, 2014* I definitely enjoyed this second installment of the Carrie Diaries. The way they brought in Samantha Jones was particularly interesting -- partially in contrast to how she is in the television show Sex and the City, but illustrating why she is how she is in that series. Overall I'd say the book does better with her than the Carrie Diaries tv show did with the character. The book takes a completely different direction. What was very odd about this book was it seemed that Ms. Bushnell was using Mr. Big from Sex and the City in a modified way in the form of one of Carrie's boyfriends in this novel. Just the language he used like "kiddo" kept making me think of Big and not really enjoy or take the character seriously. I thought the Carrie Diaries tv series did a better job of how Carrie got rid of her "v" card, but all together this novel seemed more in the Carrie character's element, mostly given that it is actually set in the City. The cliffhanger at the end was predictable, but welcomed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/9788480-summer-and-the-city-carrie-diaries-2](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/9788480-summer-and-the-city-carrie-diaries-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
