I’ve longtime been a fan of Candace Bushnell’s work, Sex in The City is a book that I often enjoyed many times over, as well as her The Carrie Diaries and Summer In The City too! But there was just something all the more impressive and addictive that was this book, I think, for me, it was just that the author spared no filters in this book, it was just completley upfront and open and honest and I couldn’t put it down and found myself instantly fascinated by Candace’s exploration of life as an older woman, navigating dating circuits and lifetime friendships and life in New York City, before and again, after overcoming various difficult obstacles in her life! Among other revelations we read her Modern Day Cougar Compendium, including guidance on such important matters as the Unexpected Cub Pounce (sometimes the cub does the pouncing) what to do when your age-appropriate date asks you to pay for his kitchen renovation, and the Pluses and Minuses of Being Older and Wiser.Ī huge thank you to Hachette Australia for providing me with a copy of Candace Bushnell’s new memoir to read and review!
