Candace Bushnell gets personal in her new memoir - an investigation into what happens when a woman of a certain age (ok, let's call it 'middle') finds herself not-so-young, free and single in the city.

MILFs, cougars, love, sex, divorce - Candace's brilliantly funny and honest first-person account lays bare the truth behind middle-aged romance. Among other revelations we read her Modern Day Cougar Compendium, including guidance on such important matters as the Unexpected Cub Pounce (sometimes the cub does the pouncing); what to do when your age-appropriate date asks you to pay for his kitchen renovation, and the Pluses and Minuses of Being Older and Wiser.©2019 Candace Bushnell Human Sexuality Love, Dating & Attraction Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Relationships Women Funny

Critic reviews

Her funny and honest dispatches from the world of modern dating reveal what love, sex and friendship look like for the middle-aged woman
Bittersweet, amusing and well observed . . . This is a book about whether we can accept who we are when things don't turn out how we wanted them to
Fans of Sex and the City will enjoy Candace Bushnell's typically candid, semi-fictionalised, anecdote-rich memoir... Funny, witty and bittersweet
Bushnell's voice is as knowing and sharp as ever
Fuelled by chilled rosé, Sex and the City scribe Candace Bushnell is masterfully decoding a new era of single life
Bushnell's portrayals of the women in her circle somehow feel both forgiving and clinical, with an anthropologist's matter-of-factness... Bushnell wrestles smartly with the theme of aging, with how being a 'fiftysomething' woman is different from being a 'thirtysomething' woman (Katy Waldman)
As she did in her bestselling Sex and the City, Bushnell examines her own and her friends' experiences with dry wit, delivering sharp social observations about the trials and piquant pleasures of looking for love at a certain age
Sometimes it can be fun to wonder what became of our fictional heroines... That you-gotta-laugh-or-you-cry place is where Candace Bushnell, with her usual sparkling candor, begins Is There Still Sex in the City?
Is there still sex in the city? Obviously. But you don't want any dummy telling you about it. Candace Bushnell only. The original!
Much like in the original SATC, Bushnell and her friends experience every romantic possibility so we don't have to... Bushnell also touches on poignant aspects of what she calls 'middle-aged madness': the death of a parent, the isolation of divorce, the ache of realizing that even the most gorgeous among us will eventually become invisible
Is There Still Sex in the City? delivers a new set of hilarious and heartbreaking truths to its audience - this time about divorce and dating after fifty in a Tinder-hindered world
For legions of fans still under Carrie Bradshaw's spell, the release of Candace Bushnell's latest book is worthy of celebration... The jury may be out on whether there is still sex in the city, but this much is true: Bushnell's literary penchant for what keeps us intrigued never disappoints
You know the title. You watched the show. Maybe you even saw the movies. Candace Bushnell is back doing what she knows best: chronicling the lives of women and how they find love. This time, she turns her lens on middle-aged men and women, and the result is pure magic. At turns wistful and sad, thoughtful and funny, Is There Still Sex In The City? is even better than the original
A collection of commentaries and recounted hijinks (and lojinks)... Sometimes funny, sometimes silly, sometimes quite sad-i.e., an accurate portrait of life in one's 50s

Took this on holiday and was a perfect easy listen by the pool… really enjoyed the male subgroup titles… actively now avoiding cubs and spouse child types…and nice to be the age of understanding the writer

Great middle age girl book

Great in some places, bit boring in others. A good holiday read if you’re a lady “over a certain age”

Ok book

I’ve read all of Candace’s books and this one didn’t disappoint. This book is more biographical and nothing at all to do with the TV series. I’ve read a few unfair reviews from people expecting to find out what happens to Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte but this book doesn’t advertise itself as a follow up to the show. I’ve always found Candace’s work interesting and enjoyed the social commentary and observations she makes and there are some really humorous parts that had me giggling out loud. The performance was awesome and the narrator did a really good job of bringing the book to life. At times it was like listening to Samantha Jones but in an original way and not an imitation of Cattrall. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Bravo Candace!

Rather enjoyable!

Relaxing, funny, interesting, true. Picked it up in a nostalgic moment and even though I’m a decade or so behind, still really enjoyed the observations.

Didn’t expect to like it this much !
