The Carrie Diaries

I go to Value Village for second hand books and a futile hope of finding an amazing vintage bag for $12.99. The bag search never turns up, but books..i regularly land on great finds. Recently I picked up Candace Bushnell's "The Carrie Diaries: Meet Carrie before Sex and the City". And what was the fantastically fabulous Carrie doing before taking over NYC and rocking Manolo's? She was a teenager, falling for the wrong guys, falling-out with friends, fighting with siblings, making her first gay friend, and worrying about losing her v-card. Yeah...i don't read intellectually stimulating novels. Pick it up (or borrow it from me) if you'd like a reminder of the silly, nonsensical decisions you made in high school concerning boys, pranks and fashion.
