Well, my beautiful daughter you know I love your writing and I look forward to reading this every week. I will take this as a second Mother’s Day gift! You made me giggle like you always do and shed a couple tears at the same time. Only one thing I have to say is, I don’t know if dad and I raised you to choose abstinence… We just wanted you to make the right choices which you did. I will never regret having those wonderful weekends introducing you to these four beautiful women. I remember how excited we were to go see the movies. I love you up to the sky. Also, one of my favorite pictures of you and I was when we went on the sex and the city tour and we took that iconic picture of you and I at the restaurant where Big n Carrie had their rehearsal dinner💜

Omg I absolutely agree with this line up! As a fellow New Yorker and SATC watcher these choices really sum up the show so well and highlight the reason for the shows success! Personally my fav episode was in the honorable mention “a woman’s right of shoes”. One of the few episodes in my opinion that aged well for the series!

Not the Xanga reference, I thought it was the only one!! Lots of great episodes on this list but I’d add “Shortcomings” for the iconic ending.

So true! That scene is how I picture Carrie when not tied to a specific reference.

I was also a SATC addict in highschool. I distinctly remember watching the last episode live on my crappy early 2000s tv. Thanks for bringing back a vivid memory.

An impossible task yet you got this so right! Hot Child in the City has always been such a favorite. Side note: the LA episodes are really fun, too!

I remember my roommates and I crowded around our little college tv to watch that week’s episode, and In my 20s, I used to rent the DVDs at Blockbuster and watch them on the train on the way north to visit my then-boyfriend. Ah memories! Best. Show. Of. All. Time.

You’re the reason I watched SATC! Also been wanting to read that book but maybe I don’t need to after your review

I love that!

I wouldn't say you shouldn't read it. Some chapters I really liked, but I had high expectations.

Omg I loathe Carrie during the Aidan move-in fight (one of the many moments she’s THE WORST but we still love her) - “you’re always talking talking talking just SHUT UP!”
