I was probably not the correct audience for this: I wanted more backstory on SATC being an absolutely gluttonous fan in my 20s. I typically really enjoy memoirs, and I will never rate a memoir less than 4 stars because it is someone's story, but I went in expecting more about my "people". I will take the blame: "it's not you, it's me."

I think this book is more for a woman who's in her 50s and while I"m in my 40s I am not close to my 50s yet so a lot of the concepts are above me and not things that I understand. I've been married for 20 years so I don't fall in the category of a single female anymore. I'm an old married couple at this time so most things I'm just like wow ok I don't get this! I'm sure if I were in my 50s a lot of other stuff would be hitting home for me, but sadly it doesn't.

Ehhh. I honestly did not care for it. I think I have moved out of my Sex and the City era and while I will always love the TV show, this book wasn't it. DNF after 40%

Meh.
Boring. Hard pass. I thought this was going to be interesting, but this was ... not it...sadly.

Candace Bushnell is an icon, and this book was an interesting dive into the world of dating in your 50's. At times the book was funny and at times it was dark and raw, but it definitely gave me Carrie vibes. Overall, an enjoyable read!

Thank you Netgalley and the Publisher for my ARC in exchange for my honest review. This was an enjoyable book.

As a big Sex And The City fan, I went into this hoping for some snark and laughs, but this was much more heavy than I expected it to be.

If you are a fan of SITC you would enjoy this book. It wasn't for me, but would be a good book who like the TV series.

I used to love Sex in the City so was glad to finally read Is There Still Sex in the City? by Candace Bushnell. This book follows Bushnell after her divorce and into the world of dating in her 50's. I found some parts of this book very funny especially the tinder stories and the stories of the "cubs". I'm sure this is a very realistic take on what dating in your 50's is like, however, I couldn't really relate since I'm not that age yet and I am not single.

I'm not really clear if this is actually a memoir or just based on some of Bushnell's experiences. I wish that was clear because it reads more like women's fiction, but is based on her life. I like to know the genre I'm reading. I would love to know if this is a memoir because it would make it more entertaining if her and her friends went through these experiences.

I enjoyed this book, but I didn't love it. Thank you NetGalley and Grove Atlantic for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

If you're a fan of SATC then you'll be entertained by this book. It's a great take on being in your 50s and single in a big city like New York. I felt myself hearing Sarah Jessica Parker's voice while reading it as we so identify her with Candace after the series. It felt refreshing to be back in that world and seeing the world through her eyes once again. While it was not overly developed character-wise, it was a great take on those little vignettes we are so used to from the show. Thanks Candace for bringing us on another fun journey.

Although this is not about the wonderful characters we have grown to know so well from the tv series you will love Candace Bushnell's new book that is an amusing insight based on her life leading up to and after divorce and how she and her single, divorced and widowed friends all began to date again joining a very different social scene than they had experienced in their last twenties. Filled with heartbreaking and humorous anecdotes revealing adventures and challenges, Bushnell tells it like it is, sex and dating over 50 in all its terrible and incredible glory.... she introduces us to acronyms like MAM (Middle Aged Mothering) and shows us that It's not easy looking for love . Candace Bushnell keeps up laughing through the disappointments as she and her friends face all that life has to offer for women of a ‘certain’ age.
This was a fun read and thoroughly enjoyable, with humour that has you crying with laughter but always with a touch of self deprecation.

Aawww I loved this. I’ve been a fan of all things Sex And the City for years and this book deserves it’s place amongst the originals. So enjoyable and took my away in my thoughts.

Fans of the TV series may be disappointed to learn that this book has nothing to do the show, but if you read the original book, you will recall that Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda were not really featured either. This is the author speaking to her peers about women in their 40s and beyond and the changes that make them question if there still is the possibility of sex in the city.

From job loss to breakups to death, Candace covers it all in different chapters referencing her experiences and those of her friends. Some are mildly amusing, some disheartening, and others tell women of a certain age to keep going. It’s a short book and gives you a glimpse into the life of the woman who inspired the series.

The book overall is a quick read and interesting to read.

I loved Sex in the City and had to read this, as I enjoyed her characters from Sex in the City.

Mostly memoir style, lots of funny bits and insightful anecdotes about life, sex and relationships.

Follows the styles of Carrie's posts in a way. Question first, then an essay type format.

It's not a taxing read or one that will stick with you for a long time but it is good fun and easy.

I wanna start of by saying that I love sex in the city the TV show a lot I enjoyed binge watching that show and so I was excited about this book, however I unfornatetly didn't finish this one so I don't think its right of me to rate it anything more than middle of the road, read other reviews for those who have read the full story.

Meh. It was okay. Not a favorite for me. I'm not sure what I was expecting out of this book, honestly.

Sex in the City was one of my absolute favorite shows of all time. Who wouldn't love just a taste of the humor Candace Bushnell brought us week after week This fun, light read takes you back to the ups and downs of single life, in the city, of course.

I feel kind of bamboozled into reading this, the title is so misleading. I expected to find an adventure with our favorite S&TC characters Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha. Instead it was a partly autobiographical mess of vapid and lack luster New York upper class women.

The characted development was not very strong, and majority being unlikable and unrelatable. There really didn't seem to be a defined plot, and seemed rushed and all over the place.

None the less I trucked on, but I do have to say this book was not very enjoyable. It doesn't mirror any of the Candace Bushnell books we have come to know and love.

I'm a huge SATC fan and Candace Bushnell fan, so I was very excited for this book. However, as a 30-some myself, the book felt sad and depressing. It was hard to connect to the characters. It just didn't seem to have the same spark as other Bushnell books.

I was such a fan of watching Sex in the City years ago, so when I saw that author Candace Bushnell was coming out with this newest release, Is There Still Sex in the City? I was so excited!

From the beginning pages, I really enjoyed this, and found the stories of being single and dating enjoyable!

Thanks to Netgalley and publisher for the gifted copy. All opinions are my own
