Candace Bushnell is cashing in - just in time for the release of the sequel to Sex & The City: The Movie. Bushnell has penned The Carrie Diaries, which details Carrie Bradshaw's teen years and culminates in her fateful move to New York City. Details, via Perez Hilton: [Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell is publishing a new
book The Carrie Diaries which takes place during famed character Carrie
Bradshaw's high school days! The book goes into Carrie's first love, relationship with
her mother and how she became a writer. The Carrie Diaries is due for release on April 27, 2010,
just about a month before Sex and the City 2 hits theaters!]
I don't know about this idea. Yes, I am an absolute hedonist and a lifelong rabid Sex fan - but this seems like too much, even for me. The thing about it is that the character of Carrie Bradshaw is really Michael Patrick King's creation (the series' head writer, along with the help of a fabulous staff). Though Candace wrote the novel, it's Michael that really fleshed out the kooky fashionista who won our hearts. Don't get me wrong - I'll probably end up reading it. If my eyes survived Twilight, they'll probably hold out for what will assuredly be a besmirching of the SATC brand.
