Carrie Bradshaw’s teen diaries are on their way to a bookseller near you. On Tuesday, Harper Collins released the first image of the cover of Candace Bushnell’s The Carrie Diaries, a young adult book series set during the teen years of the Sex And The City protagonist.

And it appears Carrie got her start as a style maven during her days as a high school standout.

The book reveals Carrie’s first love, her relationship with her mother, and explores how the beloved fashionista discovered her love of writing.

“Carrie in high school did not follow the crowd – she led it,” the publisher said in statement in September. “It was there that she began observing and commenting on the social scene.”

The first volume of The Carrie Diaries is scheduled for release April 27, 2010, just a month before the theaterical release of Sex And The City 2.
