Disclaimer: This is my personal opinion. Proceed at your own risk

So, Nan is back. This time around, the name is Nan Hutchinson since she married the Harvard Hottie who worked with UN. They have been to a lot of places, living in huts and of course sleep on rented beds. Now, they have come back to New York. And Nan was still haunted by the day she had to leave Grayer 12 years ago. 

Nan was no longer a nanny and has started her own consultation business and looking frantically for clients. And then she was summoned to Jaryndyce where things started to go haywire from there. How lucky it is not to become the generation born with Internet at the tips of our fingers. Imagine the humiliation when people forawrd your embarassing video for everyone to see. Well, we may only have so little technology back then but still, didn't we had fun during our childhood? 

Apparently, it wasn't so for Grayer X who came back looking for Nan in the middle of the night, drunk and speaking incoherently about his parents. About how Mr X has ledt Mrs X and how is he going to try to bring up Stilton, a brother who was just 8. The parent figure never visible in his life. 

IMHO, the first book was really hilarious. At the end, of course, it is heartbreaking but this time, it showed how Nan had grown up but sadly, not her friends. Her friends who were not so nice in school, turned out not to be nice when they become mothers. It was almost heartbreaking to be with the people who don't understand the importance of parenting and taking charge of the kids although you pay tem USD 40k per year. Giving out money just wasn't enough. 

For those who would want to know what happened to Grayer, well, this is it. However, you can expect Nan to be less funny. There are a lot of things in her mind, including starting a family ;). 

P/S: It doesn't seem fair to review 'You are the One I don't want' by Alexandra Potter since my friend hasn't finish it yet
