This book feels like watching one of those coming-of-age movies which you keep rewatching as you get older and still love. It is very obviously from the perspective of a 14-year-old girl and the author genuinely writes it in a way a teenage girl would think and act. Great book, would highly suggest for a beach read that is more on the literary fiction/ contemportary fiction side.

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.
