The Sex and the City reboot has proven pretty divisive so far, but whether you’re in the loving it or hating it camp, there’s no denying a lot of attention to detail has gone into every aspect of Carrie and co.’s new chapter. And we’re not just talking about the fashion. Show
Eagle-eyed fans will have noticed a lot of books appearing on the series so far—Carrie is a writer and literature is her forte, after all. But many have clearly been put there to be noticed by viewers, with some (hello, Miranda’s book on sobriety) even having their own storylines. It turns out a lot of work went into carefully selecting every single one of the books—including the hundreds visible in background shots of Carrie’s bookshelves—and Sarah Jessica Parker helped to select them herself. As Michael Cory, property master for And Just Like That…, tells Vogue: “It was a collaborative process between the writers, the actors, and the props department.”
The books lining the walls of Carrie’s apartment were carefully selected by Sarah Jessica Parker and the props department on the show. The props team ended up compiling around 120 books for Carrie alone, after getting a list directly from Parker. “[We would] talk to her just about general style of books and started going from there, and then as time went on, she started getting some titles she liked,” Cory says. The team also acquired advance releases in an effort to remain as current as possible, something that proved “challenging” when they didn’t know when the show would air due to the pandemic. Before filming each scene, Parker would choose from a selection of books, so that Carrie could always be seen holding a book or carrying one in her bag. The books have been such an important element of the reboot, the official And Just Like That Instagram page spotlighted several of the titles Parker selected for Carrie’s reading list. It’s an expansive selection—likely a reflection of the makers’ pledge to ensure the show was more inclusive and diverse this time around. There are titles based around transgender characters, others that explore racial tension, numerous novels written by women and from BIPOC voices, plus tomes hinting at storylines in the show, such as fraught female friendships (sound familiar?).
Mature student Miranda has been reading about how to be an anti-racist, as well as how to cut back on alcohol. Below, a guide to what the women of And Just Like That are reading. Fight Night by Miriam ToewsVisible in Carrie’s bag as she’s waiting for her physical therapy appointment with the dashing Travis, Fight Night is a story of strong women. It follows three generations, focusing on the youngest, nine-year-old Swiv, who receives an unconventional education from her formidable grandmother. It appears to have been a title Parker felt strongly about including, as photos taken during filming last year showed her holding it in a different scene, which didn’t end up making the cut.  Fight Night$22 at BOOKSHOP Rainbow Milk by Paul MendezThis book is next to Carrie on the picnic table at the lunch that features the now infamous Charlotte line: “A finger made you feel alive?” Exploring themes of racial and sexual identity, Mendez’s book centers around a 19-year-old Black gay man who flees his home after being outed by members of his community. Rainbow Milk$25 at BOOKSHOP Who They Was by Gabriel KrauzeLong-listed for the Booker Prize in 2020, Who They Was is an autobiographical novel set in London’s violent criminal underworld. The author tweeted his surprise at seeing Carrie reading a copy of his book on her bed, posting: “I didn’t know this was on the bucket list until it happened…” Who They Was$20 at AMAZON The Nickel Boys by Colson WhiteheadWe see The Nickel Boys open and half-read on Carrie’s bed in Episode 5, shortly before Miranda and Carrie’s boss Che Diaz have sex in her kitchen. It was one of the novels personally selected by Parker and tells the story of two boys who were sent to the Dozier School, a real (and hellish) reform school in 1960s Florida. From the same author as The Underground Railroad, the book won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2020, and Time named it one of the best books of the decade. The Nickel Boys$23 at BOOKSHOP Quit Like A Woman: The Radical Choice to Not Drink in a Culture Obsessed with Alcohol by Holly WhitakerThe book Miranda realizes she drunk-ordered from Amazon, Quit Like A Woman outlines a feminist approach to sobriety designed specifically to help women to give up drinking alcohol.
