With the upcoming release of Candace Bushnell's The Carrie Diaries, it's not surprising that Carrie/SATC fans are debating about the book. Today, controversial writer and Daily Mail columnist Liz Jones gives her view on the the brand new novel, and just what makes Carrie Bradshaw special. In it, Liz writes:
In the book, Carrie is 17 and longing to get to Manhattan to make it as a writer. She has two sisters, a coterie of female friends, one gay friend, a smoking habit, is a whizz at maths, has a predilection for cocktails, but as yet no laptop or Mr Big.
She is a virgin, a status she has held on to long after her friends, even the nerdy ones, have fallen by the wayside. She is a romantic, an optimist.
She is also a dyed-in-cashmere feminist. She doesn't want to get married or have babies, but she does want love.
So, even though I love Carrie, did I love this book? Afraid not.
