    Must Read for all SATC fans
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2011*

Carrie Bradshaw is finally in New York City. It's where she's always wanted to be, and she just knows it's where she belongs. Summer & the City picks up right where The Carrie Diaries left off. Carrie is supposed to be attending Brown University in the fall at her father's insistence. He wants her to become a scientist or something that will take her places, but all Carrie dreams of is becoming a famous writer. In the last book he reluctantly agreed to let her stay in New York for the summer and attend a writing class, but only after she agrees to go to Brown in the fall.Carrie knows she is going to make it big. She has the whole summer to make her mark, and secure a place in the city. Once this happens, she is sure she can convince her father that New York is the place for her. In true Carrie fashion, things don't go exactly as she'd planned, but the lessons she learns and the friends she meets makes everything all worth it.If you are a fan of Sex & the City you have to read this book. While I enjoyed The Carrie Diaries, I LOVED this installment. This is where she first meets Samantha Jones and eventually Miranda Hobbes. Capote Duncan also plays a big role in this book. (As most of you SATC fans already know, Capote is in the very first episode of the TV series). There are definitely quite a few surprises in this book, and it is tons of fun to see who Samantha, Miranda and Carrie were as young women (Carrie is only 18 here). The back story gives a lot of insight into why the characters we fans know and love behave the way they do. This is a fresh take on Carrie & the girls, and I loved every word of it!

    Carrie Takes NYC By Storm
  

*by E***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2011*

I really enjoyed reading the first book in  series, so I was looking forward to this one, the second.  Candace Bushnell didn't disappoint.  She's really grown as an author since the choppy  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  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?

I enjoyed this addition more than The Carrie Diaries. Though Sex and the City has many mixed reviews, I am a fan of the show, so I'm curious about where the masterpiece originated.
