Plot

This book focuses on a new set of characters: "Sassy, Kitty, Queenie, Tilda Tia and Marilyn." The book follows the women as they experience mid-life dating and relationships in the 21st century, occurring between a fictional place called "The Village" (based on the real life Hamptons) and Manhattan. This includes adoration from a younger man, experimenting with the dating scene on Tinder, and other explorations.[1][2][3][4]

Candace Bushnell (born December 1, 1958) is an American author and television producer. She began her career as a freelance journalist. She has authored nine novels, four of which were international bestsellers. She is most notable for her creative affiliation with the long running HBO series Sex and the City, which aired from 1998 to 2004, and her novel with the same title. The book "Sex and the City" was also the basis for two eponymously titled movies.[1][5][6]
