So many women in our 20s and 30s still see themselves in Carrie’s creative dreams, her financial chaos, her confusing romantic patterns, and her complicated friendships. But how would those struggles look now in a world of rising rent, creator-economy jobs, burnout, dating apps and disappearing third spaces?
