The Carrie Diaries - Kepler's Staff Review

From the start of her senior year at Castlebury High, Carrie Bradshaw is focused on her future. She wants to go to college and become a writer. "I'm never getting married," she says. "It's too predictable." And that's what she believes, that she doesn't want the complications of a relationship. But all of a sudden she is distracted.  "We have to get boyfriends this year," says Lali, Carrie's best friend. And who comes back to school but Sebastian Kydd, the totally hot guy she had a crush on when she was twelve. Right then, Carrie's heart stops. Sebastian is not like all the other guys at school. And then, life gets more complicated; with friends turning on each other, problems at parties, a troublesome sister, and a new enemy, Donna LaDonna, everything turns to chaos. Finally, Sebastian finds Carrie intriguing; she's different than the other girls. He kisses her and she can't help wanting to be with him. Will Carrie follow her heart, or will she stick to her original plan? The Carrie Diaries brings light to real issues and pressures that teenage girls face, and it takes readers through the personal struggles of Carrie Bradshaw - a determined girl trying to find a clear path within herself.
