A review by tayking
The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughlin, Nicola Kraus

lighthearted slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's 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.
