The Au Pairs: Skinny Dipping

Reader reviewed by Stephanie

Our beloved au pairs are back for another summer in the smokin hot Hamptons. This summer, however, things are going to be a little different. Elizas not working with Jacqui and Mara anymore for the Perrys; instead, shes gotten herself a bad-paying but prestigious job at the hottest new nighclub, and Philippe, a sexy French guy, is the new au pair, one that Jacqui cant seem to keep her hands away from, despite her No Boys rule.

Mara broke up with Ryan because she feels like she doesnt deserve him, but seeing him with other girls still hurts. Luckily, theres Garrett Reynolds, who likes her because shes fun, which is what Mara decides to be in order to make Ryan jealous.

Little does she know that over winter break, Eliza hooked up with Ryan. Theyre not officially seeing each other, more like friends with benefits, seeing as how both are still stuck on different people: Ryan on Mara, and Eliza on Jeremy, her ex-boyfriend-slash-gardener-turned-businessman. But Jeremy seems distant, and her parents are acting like snobs because hes not in the same class as them.

With all the secrets and unspoken words going around, is it any wonder that these love triangles and friendships are poised to explode? SKINNY DIPPING keeps up the same rapid, fun pace that Melissa de la Cruz set in the first book of this addictive series.

The Au Pairs are back! Mara broke up with Ryan and desperately wants to get back together. Eliza has a secret... hooking up with Ryan over Palm Beach was not the best idea and she know it. Jaqui can keep her eyes off the new au pair, don't worry it's a boy.

Journey through the book observing all three friends hardships as they bicker, fight selfishly and end up in loads of trouble. Fresh, and full of laughter, you'll shudder with embarrassment as the characters mess up and you'll double over with laughter as they get caught in situations that have rather funny consequences. Best summer read but it has a lack of emotion that comes from problems deeper that friendship loss.
