Review: The Carrie Diaries

The Carrie Diaries by Candace Bushnell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Enjoyed it! Would I re-read it? Probably not :P It's very "highschool" well actually it literally is :P It's when Carrie was in her senior year, right before she goes to New York and Brown. It's the beginning, if you will.

It has mostly all the highschool themes, cliques, fitting in, girls being mean to eachother, shitty friends, shitty boyfriends, coming out of the closet, being back stabbed by a friend, jealousy, figuring out what you want to be in life, finding out who you are, self identity, loyalty to friendships, being cheated on, trying different courses seeing what you like, wondering if a boy likes you or not.

Carrie is very annoying at times and to me unrelatable and way too forgiving and naive lol but hey she's in high school. If I had to identify with a character it probably would have been The Mouse because she actually thinks rationally, scratch that, she actually thinks properly lol

Maggie is unbelievably annoying, dumb, and emotional. I've actually known girls like Maggie though.

I hated Sebastian... the entire time, he's one of those play boy's that think he's all that and deserves the best when he's the worst and he's self centered and dumb. But he's hot...
I thought Maggie was definitely going to become pregnant by the end lol
I liked how Carrie's sister Dorrit ended up with George because he was a really nice guy.
I like how it ended with Carrie being lost and stuck in New York and having to call her because the pretty popular girl in school gave her her number. I also like how those two ended up being friendly to eachother.
