- I didnt think this was going to be a very good book. Boy was I surprised! I loved this! Its the story of Nanny who gets a job working for a rich couple in Manhatten with a 4 year old son, Grayer. In a nutshell, the parents are terrible, Mr. X is having an affair and he is a total jerk. Mrs. X is a self-centered witch who has no clue how to raise a child or run a household for that matter. Nanny gets treated like dirt. But in the mist of all this is a little boy. A little boy who Nanny grows to love. And when you peal back all the drama, you are left with someone who is starved for affection from his parents. Thankfully, he gets it from Nanny. But he knows, it is temporary. She will leave like they all do. The writing is funny. Hilariously funny in some parts. Very enjoyable read. Well Done!
