Nanny Returns

A Novel

By: Emma McLaughlin, Nicola Kraus

Narrated by: Susan Bennett

More than four million readers fell in love with Nan, the smart, spirited, and sympathetic heroine of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Nanny Diaries.


After living abroad for twelve years, Nan and her husband, Ryan, aka H.H., have returned to New York to get her new business off the ground and fix up their fixer-upper. To compound the mounting construction woes and marital chaos of Ryan announcing his sudden desire to start a family, sixteen-year-old Grayer X makes a drunken, late-night visit wanting to know why Nan abandoned him all those years ago. Soon she is drawn back into Mrs. X's ever-bizarre Upper East Side conclave of power and privilege in this "eminently readable" and "surprisingly affecting" (Entertainment Weekly) tale of what happens when a community that chooses money over love finds itself with neither.

Critic reviews

"The many readers who loved the first entry will be thrilled to revisit Nan, Grayer, and the Xs." -- Booklist

Just as good as Nanny Diaries.

Loved it. Laugh out loud funny. The narrator is great. Hate that it's over.

A perfect summery..

i really wondered it this book would be able to live up to the first, and although at times it can seem a confusing ( lots of story lines), the relationships between the nanny and the kids still pulled at my heart strings..i gave it 4 stars..it was a great summery to the lives of characters we fell in love with the first time around..glad a bought it..

A sequel worth the read

I love how this answers all of my questions that the first book left me with. Great introduction of new characters and I was amazed at the growth of old characters.

Ok

I liked the first book much better. This book struck me as unfocused. It jumped around so much it distracted from the main plot. To much time and detail about her wealthy so called friends. Not enough about her new life, her husbands absence and the impact the boys were having. I was disappointed.

Just so good

What fun!! I did not hold out much hope for the sequel even though I really liked the original. However, this is just fabulous. Intelligent, witty writing that makes this guilty pleasure feel not so guilty. Narrator was wonderful and captured the New York attitude. I found myself laughing out loud at parts- so much fun.
