![]() ![]() It is somewhat ironic that Bushnell herself introduces this book, as there are a lot of similarities between The Group and Sex and the City (group of female friends mainly in New York City, going through relationship problems, fertility issues, weddings and funerals while trying to get what they deserve in life). Because face it, after the mess that was Sex and the City 2, every woman of a certain age is looking for a replacement SATC, aren’t they? It wasn’t until I was exploring a bookshop on holidays that I saw this book, saw the ‘introduced by Candace Bushnell’ and remembered that I was told that this was a book I simply had to read. It was one of those things that I thought I’d remember to look for and then promptly forgot all about it. I can’t remember where I first heard about The Group. ![]() If you liked this, try: watch Sex and the City for a more modern take on women’s lives. Setting: America (predominantly New York) Why I read it: Saw it in a bookshop and realised that I’d read a great review of this book. Weaknesses: There are a lot of girls, and it’s difficult at times to keep up with who’s who. Strengths: Very interesting seeing what each girl is doing with her life. ![]() A quick rundown… Billed as the forerunner to Sex and the City, this book follows a group of girls post-college in the 1930s and looks at the different lifestyle choices they make. ![]()
