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.

Plot

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]}

Adaptation

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]
