Review Detail

Reader reviewed by abscae

I have to say, this is the only book out of the series of four that I would award 5 stars. Reason being, I truly felt this novel was heartfelt. It didn't seem slightly stretched like the next two do, and the accounts of Mara, Jacqui, and Eliza seem more real and of worth.

What I liked best are the characters. The book is divided into three types: chapters that focus around each of the three main au pairs. Thus, it was so nice to see each of the characters evolve and form nicely, and it was nice to see that they're not all perfect, but they're human. Mara was slightly easier to hate, but you really could relate to her and feel sympathy, while Eliza was so much easier to like. Jacqui was Jacqui, charming and beautiful.

I'd have to recommend this book over all the other three. It holds some real hot talent.
