Sex and the City is a book by Candace Bushnell based on her and her friends' lifestyles. It was first published in 1997, and re-published in 2001 and 2006.
[edit] Plot summary
The book takes its name from a column that Bushnell began writing in 1994, as does the television series that followed the book's success.
Three of the four main characters in the series get much less space in the book, which gives Bushnell's other friends more space instead. Charlotte York and Miranda Hobbs are almost non-existent in the book, and Samantha Jones appears only slightly more often than Charlotte and Miranda.
These three main characters also have different personalities in the book. Charlotte, a naïve, sometimes prudish American woman in the series, is a sex-crazed British girl in the book. Miranda is a lawyer in the series, but a cable executive in the book. In the last season of the series, Samantha dates an actor/model and she plans on staying with him; in the book, she only dated a model for a short period of time.
Other differences include: Stanford, a friend of Carrie, was an artist who gets much more space in the book; in the series, he was a talent agent. Stars such as Francis Ford Coppola and Karl Lagerfeld also appear in the book but not the series.
The book was published by Warner Books.
