SEX AND THE CITY (NOVEL)

'''Sex and the City''' is a novel by Candace Bushnell based on her and her friends' lifestyles. It was first published in 1997, and re-published in 2001 and 2006.
The book takes its name from a column that Bushnell began writing in 1994. The novel was loosely adapted into a long-running HBO television series also called ''Sex and the City''.

Differences from the series

Though the novel, like the series, is told from the point of view of columnist Carrie Bradshaw, her adventures include more and varied friends than the three primaries featured in the series. Some situations and personalities were adapted for the show, but the characters that bear the names Charlotte York, Miranda Hobbs and Samantha Jones are minor and contrast their television counterparts.
Charlotte is a sex-crazed British girl in the book; in the series she is a naïve, sometimes prudish American WASP. Miranda is a cable executive in the book, but a lawyer in the series.
