The characters of the Carrie Diaries are so annoying most of the time and charming and funny only some of the time. I couldn’t stand Maggie’s character at all. Mouse and Walt kept the story grounded with jokes and seriousness and Carrie was honestly kinda just there. I can see why she acts the way she acts with Big though considering her relationship with boys in this book is utterly ridiculous.
