Candace Bushnell 80's Extravaganza!


We’re going back – back to when New Wave was new and even Carrie Bradshaw would have rocked the dropped-waist mini and the side pony…

Whether you’re a teenager now – or you were one in the 1980s –
join us for a flashback fiesta full of Cosmo cool...


Meet bestselling author
CANDACE BUSHNELL Discussing and signing her new novel, The Carrie Diaries (Balzer & Bray, $18.99)

Friday, April 30, 7:30pm
The Biltmore Hotel, Country Club Ballroom
1200 Anastasia Ave., Coral Gables

TICKETS REQUIRED. Tickets are available for $5 at all Books & Books stores – and the $5 ticket can be used as a credit toward any book purchase.

Wear your 80s best – banana clips and fingerless lace gloves, perhaps – and sip virgin Cosmos for this evening that only Candace Bushnell could bring us.

Click here for the time-traveling tunes that set the soundtrack for your peek into Carrie Bradshaw’s high school diary.

Before Carrie Bradshaw was the Carrie Bradshaw we know from Sex and the City, she was a small-town girl who knew she wanted more...

She’s ready for her real life to start, but first she must navigate her senior year of high school.

She and her best friends – Walt, Lali, Maggie, and the Mouse – are inseparable, amid the sea of Jens, Jocks and Jets. And then Sebastian Kydd comes into the picture. Sebastian is a bad boy - older, intriguing, and unpredictable.

Carrie falls into the relationship that she was always supposed to have in high school—until a friend's betrayal makes her question everything. With her high school days coming to a close, Carrie will realize it's finally time to go after everything she ever wanted.
So, like, oh my gawd, don’t miss out. Get your tickets now. Totally...
