tayking 's review for:

The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughlin, Nicola Kraus
2.75
lighthearted slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No

I read this book because I loved the movie, and I must say that the movie definitely delivers on the premise better. The prose was sharp, but I felt like the plot dithered. The ending especially felt lacklustre to me. 

I'll definitely watch the movie instead if I ever want to revisit this story.
