"The Au Pairs: Crazy Hot" by Melissa de la Cruz

This is the 4th installment in the Au Pairs series. After summer plans go awry, three college girlfriends meet up in the Hamptons for a summer of romance, fashion and nanny duties. Eliza is busy opening her posh boutique and deciding if her boyfriend, Jeremy, is “the one.” Jacqui is swept off her feet by a charming photographer who promises her a lucrative modeling contract. Sensible Mara keeps occupied by watching the kids, and working on her debut blog. The plot is easy to follow and there is decent character description. While their luxurious lives may not be realistic or totally convincing, this makes for an easy beach read. Similar to the Gossip Girls series with high-roller lifestyle, but there's no violence, hint of sex, but nothing graphic. Recommended for 9th and up.
