Author Candace Bushnell just won’t move past Carrie Bradshaw, the character that made her famous all over the world. She is reportedly writing a young adult novel about Carrie’s youth. Oh, come on!

The sex columnist who is desperately trying to find love is a great character and now a role model for millions of women all over the world, especially for those who try to make it big in the Big Apple. But enough is enough!

After six years of “Sex And the City” and a very disappointing movie, that showed it’s better to stop while you’re on top and not make an embarrassing pointless spinoff that is barely coherent and completely lacks substance, who in the world wants to go back to Carrie’s troubled teenage years? Especially considering that, in the series, every time Carrie is mentioning her past, she gets all shivery, like she wants to shake the memory off. Also, occasional hints tell us that her youth wasn’t the best time of her life, but a period of reckless non stop party and one bad relationship after the other.

I thought the whole point of the series and, well, the movie, was to find a husband for little Miss Bradshaw, or at least true love. We only watched it for so long, because it gave hope to all the women in the world and we always figured Mr. Right is right around the corner. It took her and her three friends Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda more than 40 years to reach true happiness, so why would we go back in time to a point where teenage angst and stupid high school clichés rule?

Let’s just call it what it is. A guaranteed recipe for success. We’ll just take a story of a young girl living in the suburbs and hanging out in New York on weekends, but just to make sure it becomes a best-seller, let’s name this girl Carrie. Carrie Bradshaw. And poof! Here you go! The next big thing after Harry Potter.
