Before Carrie Bradshaw could become a fabulous Manhattan columnist, she had to get through high school!

Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell is writing a pair of novels titled, The Carrie Diaries.

The books reveal Carrie’s high school years “giving an inside look at Carrie’s friendships, romances and how she realized her dream of becoming a writer,” HarperCollins announced.

Bushnell said of the novels, “Carrie in high school did not follow the crowd — she led it. It was there that she began observing and commenting on the social scene,” Associated Press reports.

The first book is set to release in 2010.
