Secret Nanny Club

This was an easy read. I liked the characters and wanted them to succeed. My interest was captured by a struggling young Mom who was determined to remain independent.

I read this while I was traveling. It is one of those books that is light, entertaining and can be picked up and put down a dozen times without fear of losing the story's plot or missing details. Cute, easy and with likable characters, it is a very nice book.

Absolutely fantastic book for me! really really loved it. Easy read. Positive and with good humor.

Interesting? Not my favorite book but a quick read. The situation was different. Seven more words required so this is it.

This book was the bomb dot com. I loved it so much. It's absolute to die for. Very appropriate. My daughter would curl up on the couch and i would read it. Skipping the profanity.

loved it

I "forced" myself to read thru at least the first 3-5 chapters. The book was just boring.. I could not get into it and it was very hard to follow.

just real junk reading. Was told how good a book it was. But not in my opinion. a waste of time.

fab chick lit book read this in 2 days. a must for all mothers, totally related to the story and hardships of being a working mum. hope there's a sequel

The cover caught my eye and I would bet that it was the typical chick-list. But I was completely wrong. It is a peculiar chick-lit about motherhood, with humour, romance, but even much tough life, set in the years of economic recession in Ireland.Kaylah is a single mum: the first most important thing in her life is her baby John, but her second most important thing in her life is her job as a fashion stylist in a magazine. Her boyfriend Clive dumps her (on the phone!) as soon as she tells him she is pregnant. He does not want to take on responsibilities; she has to cope with the situation on her own. Clive couldn’t care less: he tells her in no uncertain terms that he does not want to be involved with John and refuses to give economic support and even see the baby. She is left alone and having a baby has really let her know who her true friends are. She has to face up to the fact that she knows very little (or, better, nothing) about nappies, teething and baby stuff and that she has to struggle financially to make ends meet, as she is not working any more. She misses her job too, but baby John takes up most of her time and energy: she needs to find a nanny, which is not as easy as it may seem. She wants a perfect nanny, a modern Mary Poppins she can trust. John is the best thing which has ever happened to her and she wants him to have a peaceful and sweet life. So she makes out a wish list containing the requirements the ideal nanny must have. In the end, she is sure Tanya is the almost perfect nanny. But when something seems too good to be true, it probably is ...... In fact, she discovers dreadful things about the so-called “The Secret Nanny Club” whose Tanya is a member. To top it all, out of the blue, Kaylah receives a letter from Clive’s solicitor, demanding access to John. Meanwhile, she has gone back to work. After experiencing stress, unbelievable mishaps, bitter and joyful tears, economic troubles, she begins to see the end of the tunnel.Maybe some parts (such as the description of the fashion shoot) could be dealt with fewer details and just sum up the most important points, because, in my opinion, they do not add anything important to the story. Besides, it needs a bit of editing work. Anyway, it is a nice plot, full of love, tenderness and true tough life.
