Summer and the City (The Carrie Diaries, #2)
Candace Bushnell
Summer is a magical time in New York City and Carrie is in love with all of it—the crazy characters in her neighborhood, the vintage-clothing boutiques, the wild parties, and the glamorous man who has swept her off her feet. Best of all, she's finally in a real writing class, taking her first steps toward fulfilling her dream. This sequel to The Carrie Diaries brings surprising revelations as Carrie learns to navigate her way around the Big Apple, going from being a country "sparrow"—as Samantha Jones dubs her—to the person she always wanted to be. But as it becomes increasingly difficult to reconcile her past with her future, Carrie realizes that making it in New York is much more complicated than she ever imagined. With her signature wit and sparkling humor, Candace Bushnell reveals the irresistible story of how Carrie met Samantha and Miranda, and what turned a small-town girl into one of New York City's most unforgettable icons, Carrie Bradshaw.

This book was a fast-paced easy read. I loved how bold Carrie was at times but her needyness was a little annoying at times. Since I know about the Sex and The City franchise, I enjoyed trying to find out how she would meet all the characters that I have come to love. My favorite quotes are, "I realized he could'nt have loved me at all. How can a man love you if he won't even consider having a baby with you?"(Bushnell 278) and "Just because something doesn't last forever, it doesn't mean it wasn't meaningful while it did last. It doesn't mean it wasn't important" (404). I thought that ending was a great conclusion and made me want to know what would happen next.
