Sex And The City-The Teen Years.

Before Carrie Bradshaw was The New York Star’s cosmopolitan sex columnist, she was an All-American teenager.

Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell is penning a pair of novels, entitled The Carrie Diaries, exploring her most famous fashionista’s young adulthood and “giving an inside look at Carrie’s friendships, romances and how she realized her dream of becoming a writer,” says publisher HarperCollins.

“Carrie in high school did not follow the crowd — she led it. It was there that she began observing and commenting on the social scene,” Bushnell said in a statement issued Wednesday.

The books will be the first works of Young Adult fiction for Candace, who is also the author of the Lipstick Jungle and Four Blondes.
