Plot summary

The book takes its name from a column that Bushnell began writing in 1994, as does the television series that followed the book's success. Sex and the City was a popular American cable television program based on the book of the same name by Candace Bushnell. ...


Three of the four main characters in the series get much less space in the book, which gives Bushnell's other friends more space instead. Charlotte York and Miranda Hobbs are almost non-existent in the book, and Samantha Jones appears only slightly more often than Charlotte and Miranda.


These three main characters also have different personalities in the book. Charlotte, a naïve, sometimes prudish American woman in the series, is a sex-crazed British girl in the book. Miranda is a lawyer in the series, but a cable executive in the book. In the last season of the series, Samantha dates an actor/model and she plans on staying with him; in the book, she only dated a model for a short period of time.

Other differences include: Stanford, a friend of Carrie, was an artist who gets much more space in the book; in the series, he was a talent agent.

Karl Lagerfeld portrayed on the cover of the Karl Lagerfeld Diet, the book about his weight loss. ...


The book was published by Warner Books.
