The Manny - Holly Peterson

  Gosh, writing up something for this book is not easy. Not that I don't like it but well, there are some concerns.

  It is tough to become a mom, living in the Park Avenue and showed all your 'toys'. All with the status quo and dress codes to keep up. Most of the wives that Jamie Whitfield knew are those who don't work, have filthy rich husbands, owns private jets and do not eat. They were dolled up all the time and so are their little kids as well as their nannies.

  Unlike the other wives, Jamie worked and she was trying to fit into the community. She was not born into it and dress codes went wrong, jobe went wrong and the marriage is not what it seemed. Philip, the husband, became her fourth child instead of the partner; difficult, grumpy and impossible. And the fact that Dylan, their oldest, was having problems with himself didn't help.

  And here comes the Manny (male version of the Nanny). He loved Dylan and the other two kids, smoking hot and warm. Instead of just working for her, they became more involved and its either the problem in the marriage or it was meant to be, things do get a little more complicated. Jamie got a rude awakening (kind of ) by Peter on her current live, her needs and her feelings.

  I won't say that I did not enjoy this but its not easy to put your thoughts on moral when I read it. Honestly, not as funny as The Nanny Diaries but it got me into thinking real hard. One of it is being superwoman, juggling so many things at one time as well as being who you are.

*have started to try to review books that I've read since it will remind me that 'dah dah aa tu beli buku. hujan pun tau berenti' T_T
