Set between the Upper East Side of Manhattan and a country enclave known as The Village, Is There Still Sex in the City? gathers Bushnell’s signature short, sharp, satirical commentaries on the love and dating habits of middle-aged men and women as they continue to navigate ever-modernizing relationships. Throughout, Bushnell documents 21st-century dating phenomena, such as the “Unintended Cub Situation” in which a sensible older woman suddenly becomes the love interest of a much younger man, and what it’s really like to go on Tinder dates as a 50-something divorcee.

When Candace Bushnell started writing her “Sex and the City” column for the New York Observer, she didn’t think anyone beyond the Upper East Side would care about her adventures among the Hamptons-hopping media elite. But her struggles with singlehood struck a chord, making her a citywide - and soon nationwide - sensation. Beverly Hills, 90210 creator Darren Star brought Bushnell’s vision to an even wider audience when he adapted the column for an HBO series.

In the spring of 2006, a new kind of show premiered on Bravo: The Real Housewives of Orange County. Its stars were tanned, taut, and bedazzled; their homes were echoey California villas; and their drama was gossip-fueled, wine-drenched, and absolutely exquisite. Fifteen seasons on, RHOC is an institution, along with The Real Housewives of New York, Atlanta, New Jersey, Miami, Potomac, and more.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

In You'll Grow Out of It, Jessi Klein offers - through an incisive collection of real-life stories - a relentlessly funny yet poignant take on a variety of topics she has experienced along her strange journey to womanhood and beyond. These include her "transformation from Pippi Longstocking-esque tomboy to are-you-a-lesbian-or-what tom man", attempting to find watchable porn, and identifying the difference between being called "ma'am" and "miss" (" miss sounds like you weigh 99 pounds").

Publisher's Summary
In essays drawn from her witty and sometimes brutally candid column in the New York Observer, Candace Bushnell introduces us to the young and beautiful who travel in packs from parties to bars to clubs.
Meet "Carrie", the quintessential young writer looking for love in all the wrong places; "Mr. Big", the business tycoon who drifts from one relationship to another; "Samantha Jones", the 40-ish, successful, "testosterone woman" who uses sex like a man; not to mention "Psycho Moms", "Bicycle Boys", "International Crazy Girls", and the rest of the New Yorkers who inspired one of the most watched TV series of our time. You've seen them on HBO, now listen to the book that started it all.

Featured Article: Sex and the City—Books vs. Show
It might be time to have a bit of a Sex and the City refresher before diving back into the fabulous, fun, flirty, and hilarious world of Carrie Bradshaw and her friends. You might know that Sex and the City is based loosely on the book of the same name by Candace Bushnell. But just how loosely based are we talking? If you listened to the Sex and the City audiobook, would you even recognize Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha? Or would you be getting an entirely different story? Read on for our guide to the differences between the Sex and the City book and the show to find out.

Loved the TV show, great narrator, unbearable book
I was a big fan of "Sex in the City" on HBO, Cynthia Nixon is a GREAT narrator and enticed me to listen to this awful book much longer than I would have for any other narrator, but this book was SO AWFUL I COULD NOT ENDURE IT....and I am a HUGE audiobook fan.....JUST AWFUL.
I can see the seeds of what became a great TV show (and I am not a big TV watcher) but I admire the writers and actors of the HBO production about a million times more now that I know what they had to work with originally.....

Don’t know if I would have felt the same way if I would’ve just read it. Cynthia Nixon does a fantastic job of reading this book and using her time on the show as a solid foundation while still make it it her own.

A chore...left a bad taste in my mouth
Without being brought to life by the amazing cast of performers in the HBO series, and the charming humor that made it a super hit, this story is nothing but a collection of vaguely amusing, gossipy snippets about despicably shallow individuals, who neither value themselves, or the state of privilege in which they exit. There is nothing heroic or even remotely admirable about this work. Loaded with cynicism, it reads like something scribbled on a public bathroom wall..a complete waste of time, I couldn't wait for it to end. Cynthia Nixon does a good job narrating.

Sex and the City
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Not sure
What was most disappointing about Candace Bushnell’s story?
I was disapointed that this book neither follows the "Carrie Dairies" series nor the television show. It was hard to follow because the charecters were different...Sammatha Jones was a "Urban Legend" not a friend of Carrie's, as she is in both the "Carrie Dairies" and the television show. Carrie was one of the four friends but all the others were different, I was just really dissapointed because I had loved the show and enjoyed the "Carrie Dairies" seeing how it all began, this book had very little to do with either story making this book hard to follow and I swear it went on and on and on...as I waited for the connection.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Cynthia Nixon?
Not sure
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment and an aching in my wallet where the money I paid for that used to be...
