          <body><![CDATA[Another great novel from Emma McLaughin &amp; Nicola Kraus.  Fans of &quot;The Nanny Diaries&quot; &amp; &quot;Citizen Girl&quot; won't be disappointed.<br/><br/>A great story that takes every reader right back to her own youth - triumphs, regrets, and all.  Fantastic narrative.  It almost made me want to...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5802904">more...</a>]]></body>

But by those last 200 pages, I was really drawn into the story again.  I loved the way it all wrapped up - so beautiful.]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[This is one of my favorite &quot;chick lit&quot; books ever, and is probably why I fell in love with the genre.<br/><br/>Great story of a nanny taking care of a great kid with a not-so-fantastic family.  I laughed out loud several times.  Having worked with children for several years, I had an app...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5802710">more...</a>]]></body>
