I loved this book so so much. UGH. I’m in love, this has such a special place in my heart. It is a book that transports you into this vivid, raw, warm, lively rich  world that claims you. Finding yourself sat with the characters sharing the moments, feeling their laughter, tears, troubles and a contagious sense of love that washes over and around you like their infectious harmonised spontaneous sing-alongs.

There is an implication of a minor in a relationship with an adult, but it is unfounded.

A 14 year-old girl gets a job as a summer nanny to a 5 year-old. The family she works for (the Cones) are very different than her family and introduce her to many new things. The cones house a rockstar recovering addict and his movie star wife. SOOO good, the Cone family plus Jimmy and Shiba are so amazing. The book was super fun and sweet.

With a protagonist too sweet by far, Mary Jane is a fun coming of age story that's critique of the liberal adults never loses sight of their goodness.
