The Author Of ‘Sex and the City’ Wrote a New Book About Dating in Your 50s!
The woman behind the iconic book, which would later become the successful HBO show Sex and the City, has written a new book about dating in your 50s — and it’s going to be epic!
Candace Bushnell’s first book forever changed our perception of female friendship and dating. Her latest, Is There Still Sex in the City? goes beyond those relationships and into real life introspection. Right up our alley.
“It’s a really humorous take on the things that I’ve noticed people are experiencing in middle age,” she told People magazine. “[Your 50s] can really be a time of a shakeup. Women are married, they have kids, they still have some kind of career, and they look around and it just doesn’t work anymore. They have to make a change.”
Describing the book as “auto-fiction,” Candace writes funny commentaries about “mating, dating” and friendship experienced by people in their 50s and 60s. An exploration of the dating scene after divorce, in the book she draws from her own experiences while revealing what it’s like to go on dating apps like Tinder as a 50-something divorcée.
“I wanted to call the book Middle-Aged Madness,” she added. “You have to understand that in the past nobody thought that 50-something people would need to go on dating apps and take their clothes off in front of strangers. Nobody ever thinks that that’s what their 50s are going to look like.”
Is There Still Sex in the City? comes out next summer, and we can’t wait!
