The Nanny Diaries by: Emma McLaughlin & Nichola Kraus

Review:  When I picked up this book I had very low expectations and was pleasantly surprised when I couldn't put it down.  The Nanny Diaries is a hysterical and emotionally captivating read. McLaughlin and Kraus have a different writing style, and I personally loved it.  They write out there thoughts in the way I imagine I would if I were to ever write something bigger than a blog.  Its that style of writing that makes the reader laugh out loud.

Synopsis (Spoiler Alert):  A broke college student living in NYC takes a nanny position with a rich family on Park Ave.  Nanny quickly learns that Mrs. X takes no real part in her childs upbringing despite the fact that Mrs. X does not work, cook, or clean.  Nanny is at her constant beck and call.  Nanny and the child, Grayer, have a rocky start but soon form a tight loving bond.  As the marriage of the Xe's begins to crumble Nanny is pulled in.  The ending is horribly depressing.

Review: 9
