watched and talked-about TV series of our time is on Netflix. We couldn't help but wonder if you've read the original bestselling book that started it all and "sparked a cultural phenomenon" (Oprah).

Wildly funny, unexpectedly poignant, wickedly observant, SEX AND THE CITY blazes a glorious, drunken cocktail trail through Manhattan. Enter a world where the sometimes shocking and often hilarious mating habits of the privileged are exposed by a true insider. In essays drawn from her witty and sometimes brutally candid column in the New York Observer, Candace Bushnell introduces us to the young and beautiful who travel in packs from parties to bars to clubs -- and forever changes the conversation about women and friendships, women and power, women and love, and women and sex.
