The Carrie Diaries by Candace Bushnell
slow-paced
1.0
Honesty is key in book reviewing.
I hated the writing style. There, I said it. I didn't enjoy this book, and I really wanted to! I've heard so many good things about The Carrie Diaries from fans of the books and television series but man... It wasn't for me.
This felt like it should have been a New Adult book with the spicy language at the start, but the first 100 pages also felt so... random. I didn't get the plot, other than there's a new hot guy and Carrie clearly knows him.
I'm not sure what about Candace Bushnell's writing pushed me away, but I just couldn't get into it or connect with the characters. I'll try to watch the t.v. adaption instead, because that might be a better option for me.
One out of five stars.
