Is There Still Sex in the City? is a novel written by Candace Bushnell and published in August 2019 by Grove Press. It is based on Bushnell's real-life experiences after divorcing at the age of 50. The title of the book references Sex and the City , a book by Bushnell first published in 1996. [1] [2] [3]
This book focuses on a new set of characters: Sassy, Kitty, Queenie, Tilda Tia and Marilyn. The book follows the women as they experience mid-life dating and relationships in the 21st century, occurring between a fictional place called "The Village" (based on the real life Hamptons) and Manhattan. This includes adoration from a younger man, experimenting with the dating scene on Tinder, and other explorations. [1] [2] [3] [4]
A television adaptation of the book was sold to series with a script written, but Bushnell said it "fell apart" during the Covid pandemic. Its current status is unknown. [5]
In December, 2021, Candance made her New York Stage Debut in a 1-woman play adaptation at the Daryl Roth Theatre for a limited 12 week run. [6]
