Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Mary Jane is a book full of complex and realistic characters that will have you drawn in and rooting for them. This book is mostly slice of life and not a lot of plot, focusing on Mary Jane’s job as a summer nanny for a family with famous and secret house guests for the season. 

I normally enjoy plot forward books and I think knowing that’s not this book helped me to really enjoy it. I found myself reading it so quickly to see how the characters acted and connected with each other. If you liked Daisy Jones and the Six, this is different in style but the 70s vibes are similar and this is worth a try!
