Is There Still Sex in the City? Candace Bushnell
⭐️⭐️
I wanted to love this book. I was beyond excited to receive an ARC from Netgalley. But it left me disappointed and wanting.
Is There Still Sex in the City reads like the narration to a TV show, but lacks the imagery and heart that should be playing while the narrator adds their clippy, smart commentary.
The chapters hopped from mini essays on social and dating definitions (Tinder at 50, kids, suicide, types of boys, mid-life crisis, etc.) and character stories without much emotion – lots of telling, little showing. Considering the topics covered, I was expecting to feel something, or at the very least, connection to the characters, but there wasn’t enough to build that connection on.
The writing was choppy and felt like a list of things that happened or of explanations of what was happening. Cliches, acronyms and text speak overflowed throughout. I felt as though it wanted to be smart and edgy, but fell short.
