Prep for interview with Candace. Fun read.

I love Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and The City. But I was not sure I'm ready to know her younger self. Turned out, this book is not so bad. Though in some parts I really can't connect the sophisticated Carrie that I know, with the awkward teenage girl in this book. But it's good to know about her family and childhood friends for once, since we never got a chance to know them in the original series. Would love to read the next book, when Carrie stepped her foot the first time in NYC.

This book was okay, nothing too special. It was cute, and I liked how Carrie was as a teenager. Entertaining quick read.
