The Carrie Diaries by Candace Bushnell

First off- this book is NOT for kids that I usually write for. There is lots of mature content in this book- it is best for high school students.

Second- I really liked this one. It took a while to get into it, but once in, I was hooked. I liked reading about Carrie in high school. I liked learning how she became the woman I know from the TV show and movies. I also really liked how Carrie has a definite view of what kind of girl she wants to be. There are some great messages in this book about standing up for what you believe in, being true to your friends and what to do about peer pressure.
