In Killing Monica Bushnell spoofs and skewers her way through pop culture, celebrity worship, fame and even the meaning of life itself, when a famous writer must resort to faking her own death in order to get her life back from her most infamous creation - Monica. With her trademark humour and style, Killing Monica is Bushnell's sharpest, funniest book to date.
This is Bushnell at her best - full of mordant wit, casual sex and highly conspicuous consumption.

Killing Monica

"Rase-toi les jambes. N'abuse pas du maquillage. Ne porte pas de minijupe. Ne sois pas une de ces filles qui ne mangent jamais de pizza. Tu prends un milk-shake en plus ? Est-ce que tu as pris du poids ? N'en perds pas trop, tes formes vont disparaître. Mais attention, tu dois rester mince. Sois drôle mais ne cherche pas à être le centre de l'attention. Sois intelligente mais il te reste beaucoup à apprendre. Ne te laisse pas marcher dessus mais, arrête de te prendre pour la cheffe. Sois cool. Soit facile à vivre. Ne sois pas facile. Ne sois pas prude. Souviens-toi ma fille : il n'y a jamais eu de meilleure époque pour les femmes. Tu peux faire tout ce que tu veux ! Tu peux être qui tu as envie d'être ! Tant que tu n'enfreins pas les règles."

Meet teenage Carrie Bradshaw as she hits the bright lights, big city of New York for the very first time! Find out how Carrie transforms from country girl to super-cool fashionista in the second explosive CARRIE DIARIES novel from the globally bestselling author of SEX AND THE CITY.

 Summer is a magical time in New York City and Carrie is in love with all of it - the crazy characters in her neighbourhood, the vintage-clothing boutiques, the wild parties and the glamorous man who has swept her off her feet. Best of all, she's finally in a real writing class, taking her first steps toward fulfilling her dream.

 This sequel to THE CARRIE DIARIES brings surprising revelations as Carrie learns to navigate her way around the Big Apple, going from being a country "sparrow" - as Samantha Jones dubs her - to the person she always wanted to be. But as it becomes increasingly difficult to reconcile her past with her future, Carrie realises that making it in New York is much more complicated than she ever imagined.

 With her signature wit and sparkling humour, Candace Bushnell reveals the irresistible story of how Carrie met Samantha and Miranda, and what turned a small-town girl into one of the New York City's most unforgettable icons, Carrie Bradshaw.

Mais, au royaume du superficiel et de la silicone, l'amour-propre ne le reste jamais très longtemps...Sexe, paillettes et faux-semblants ; après sa brillante et hilarante chronique Sex and the City, Candace Bushnell brosse un portrait aussi pointu que des talons aiguilles de « l'élite » new-yorkaise et de ses fashion victims, à la poursuite désespérée du succès.
