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.

Il libro e un racconto a puntate sulla societa degli anni Novanta che descrive con spudorata verita la vita sessuale, i vizi, i sentimenti maligni e sotterranei della high society americana e si avvale delle ricerche fatte 'sul campo' dall'autrice in prima persona. Per scrivere i suoi pezzi, la Bushnell ha fatto di tutto: ha condotto indagini sulla vita sessuale delle donne sposate, ha partecipato ai party piu ambiti e si e inserita come una spia negli ambienti presi di mira. Risultato: il libro sulla vita, il sesso e gli amori dei nostri giorni.

There is spoiled, self-assured Lola, whose mother is determined to launch her darling daughter into society and the arms of the right man by clawing her way into the building. There is Annalisa, a reluctant socialite who has renounced her law career to be the perfect wife to her workaholic husband, and Winnie, who is married to an underpublished writer and has been the family breadwinner too long for her own - and her marriage is - good.

Neuf ans ont passé depuis la sortie du premier tome de Sex and The City, mais Candace Bushnell garde une longueur d'avance sur le peloton de petites jeunes à la plume fourchue qui rampent dans son sillon. Le dernier livre de la reine de la chik lit (« littérature pour poulettes »), à partir duquel un pilote de série TV est déjà en train d'être tourné, en témoigne. Il révèle New York en jungle de verre et d'acier où des prédatrices, cachant leurs crocs longs comme la Trump Tower sous leur rouge à lèvres, s'entredévorent gaiement. Une intrigue professionnelle ou sentimentale et hop : voilà leurs victimes courant nues et nocturnement les boutiques de la Ve avenue ! Heureusement, Wendy, Nico et Victory ont quelques Cosmopolitan derrière elles, et leur amitié pour se garder de la démence urbaine. En cela, les trois nouvelles héroïnes de Candace Bushnell sont bien les grandes soeurs de Carry, Miranda, Samantha et Charlotte. Aussi ces trois quarantenaires partagent-elles les mêmes émois pour le sexe (de moins en moins) fort, incarné ici par des conjoints paresseux, des associés japonais machos, des patrons français aux mains lestes et des mannequins décérébrés. Comme quoi, on peut exercer les pénibles professions de styliste star, patronne de studio ou directrice de grand magazine branché et cacher sous ses 1 500 dollars de corsages un coeur tendre qui palpite !

Tothom que sigui algú a Nova York sap que Victory, Wendy i Nico són les cares boniques de l'èxit a la ciutat dels gratacels: Victory s'ha convertit en la dissenyadora de moda més sol•licitada; Wendy és la directora general de Parador Pictures i, a més d'estar produint una pel•lícula que serà un veritable èxit, té tres fills preciosos; Nico, per últim, és la redactora en cap de la revista Bonfire, la bíblia novaiorquesa per estar al dia. Als ulls dels altres, totes tres es troben en el millor moment de les seves vides. Però malgrat tot, des del lloc que elles ocupen les coses no es veuen exactament així.

Regla número tres: les millors amigues sempre pensen que et mereixes el millor noi, fins i tot si ell amb prou feines sap que existeixes. Carrie Bradshaw Abans que la Carrie Bradshaw visqués a Manhattan, demanés Cosmopolitans i calcés sabates de Manolo Blahnik, era una noia més aviat normal dels 80 que vivia amb la seva família a Connecticut. Bushnell ens transporta a l'últim any d'institut de la Carrie per conèixer on va néixer la seva passió per l'escriptura i el periodisme, la seva afició per la moda i les seves inseparables amigues, i com la va marcar el seu primer gran amor... Però més enllà d'explicar-nos les seves vivències amb humor, intel·ligència i glamur, Els diaris de la Carrie és la història de com una noia normal esdevé una escriptora provocadora i lúcida a Nova York.
