The Carrie Diaries - Carries Leben Vor Sex And The City (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
There is no way not to like this YA novel. Ms. Bushnell understands relationships between teens, high school experiences and the heartache of losing a mother within a family too early. The whole family plays an important part in the novel too. Most of the book reflects the emotions of the girls, but the boys play important roles to their happiness and misery. The key is to realize that this is the senior year and it won’t last forever. Yeah, Right! The growing up process and the realization of who we are and how we become breaks forth whether we like it or not. In the ever changing high school setting, the strong survive. Each character has their own defining personality and their interactions are excellent. This is a great read in this genre. For the first few chapters of the book, the pacing's too slow for me. I even considered closing the book and leaving it unread. But thanks to my curiosity about carrie... I'm glad i made the decision to continue. As her senior life slowly comes to a close, i find parts of myself reflected in her. I guess the similarities made me develop a certain affection for her. One last criticism for this book is the ending. I don't think candace made a great job closing it like that. Where it says "Samantha Jones?"... It's too much of a cliffhanger. Message to future readers: don't let other reviews influence your perspective influence your opinion on this book. Yeah, it's nice to read those sometimes (it prepares yourself for what to come) but sometimes it might discourage you from reading it (just like me but still... I read it).
