And Just Like That... 25 Years of Sex and the City

THE ORIGINAL BESTSELLING NOVEL

Wildly funny, unexpectedly poignant, wickedly observant, SEX AND THE CITY blazes a glorious, drunken cocktail trail through New York, as Candace Bushnell, columnist and social critic par excellence, trips on her Manolo Blahnik kitten heels from the Baby Doll Lounge to the Bowery Bar. An Armistead Maupin for the real world, she has the gift of assembling a huge and irresistible cast of freaks and wonders, while remaining faithful to her hard core of friends and fans: those glamorous, rebellious, crazy single women, too close to forty, who are trying hard not to turn from the Audrey Hepburn of BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S into the Glen Close of FATAL ATTRACTION, and are - still - looking for love.

Reviews
Jane Austen with a martini * Sunday Telegraph *
Hilarious... a compulsively readable book, served up in bite-sized chunks of irrepressible irreverence * Marie Claire *
Fascinating... hilarious... welcome to the cruel planet that is Manhattan * Los Angeles Times *
Bushnell is a deft writer, possessing a sly sense of humor and sharp insight into human behaviour * People *
Bushnell's beat is that demi-monde of nightclubs, bars, restaurants and parties where the rich come into contact with the infamous, the famous with the wannabes and the publicity-hungry with the gossip-peddlers * Evening Standard *
Intriguing and highly entertaining * Helen Fielding *
The book that sparked a cultural phenomenon * Oprah *
Bushnell is the modern flame carrier of an established literary tradition: that of American (usually New York) women writers depicting the rigid social and slackening sexual rules of a very particular American (and, again, usually New York) set through a mix of close personal knowledge and fiction... Compared with the hugely popular television series, the book is tough, unapologetic and jittery with anxiety... hilarious, hard-edged, delightful, harsh, elegant and fun * Guardian *
