...The basic writing itself isn't bad, but so many of the characters are flat and there are too many loose ends in this book. It tries to have an element of romance-- or does the Nanny just want a romp in the hay? What was the deal with her Dad and the school? Where did THAT come from? And the ending is so depressing. Sorry, I just didn't feel any empathy with the Nanny at all. She should have listened to her mother. Seems like Nanny wanted the prestige of being a nanny to Somebody, was after the great money. After all, what else was the payoff for her to stay in the position? The only thing we seemed to have in common was the pity for the child. But she stayed so long, she let the kid come to love her, when she knew she'd be out on her ear sooner or later.Now, where did the hilarious part of it come in?But the PR firm and agent did a good job. I was suckered.
