Confessions of a Teen Nanny
Review
Confessions of a Teen Nanny
Adrienne Lewis is hired to be a nanny for the wealthy Warner
family. It's to be a two-week stint --- just until their permanent
nanny comes. Her charge, eight-year-old Emma, is an evil genius who
has gotten her last five nannies fired, but she likes Adrienne
enough. If Adrienne can just manage to help Emma with calculus,
French and piano for two weeks, she'll make a quick $1,000.
This turns out to be easier said than done, however. Adrienne and
Emma adjust to each other, but Emma's mother becomes more and more
demanding, constantly asking Adrienne to extend her hours --- which
leaves Adrienne less and less time for schoolwork, her best friend
Liz, and her boyfriend Brian. And since the new nanny is delayed,
Adrienne stays on much longer than two weeks.
As if that's not drama enough, there's Cameron, Emma's Paris
Hilton-esque half-sister who goes to school with Adrienne's friend
Liz. A notorious party girl, Cameron invites Liz and Adrienne out
on all her escapades, getting both girls in trouble along the way.
She also begins spending time with Adrienne's boyfriend, much to
Adrienne's disgust.
CONFESSIONS OF A TEEN NANNY is a cleverly written, easy-to-read
story. Fans of Gossip Girl, THE NANNY DIARIES, and The Au Pairs
will devour this novel, which allows the less privileged a better
look into New York City's elite. The final page is a cliffhanger,
and a sequel is already on the way.
Richly filled with designer gowns, episodes of "Oprah" and New York
City hotspots, CONFESSIONS OF A TEEN NANNY is current, hot, and fun
to read.
