Not exactly what I expected
I went into this book having read some of the Lexy Cooper books. You can tell that this is a earlier book by the author, however that lends to its charm. I had not planned on getting the follow up book, however I want to know more about the characters.

I think I saw this book first on a friends' goodread feed and thought that I'd enjoy a nanny book about a NYC nanny. Then someone was nice enough to gift it to my kindle.
Really, the book was more of a nineteen-year-old in the big city coming of age story than a nanny-tell-all. And it was set in the early 90s or so, not the near-2011 that it's publication date had led me to expect. Once I accepted that it for what it was, I surprised myself with how much I enjoyed the book. The voice of the nineteen-year-old nanny of the title was fresh and realistic and the writing was rich enough in details to make the book enjoyable. The ending was a bit too fairy tale for me, and the plot perhaps a bit too dramatic, but overall a good light read.
