Surprised by The Nanny Diaries
After renting The Nanny Diaries last night, starring Scarlett Johansson, I quite possibly changed my mind about reading the book by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus.
I saw the book on the shelves last year and since I had just finished reading Confessions of a Shopaholic, I didn't think I was in the mood for another book about a spendthrift trying to finance a life like the upper-class residents living around her. But the movie showed how the protagonist criticized the exorbitant lifestyles of the Upper East Side residents in Manhattan and focused more on the importance of finding one's identity and not selling out essentially. I also found in my heart a new appreciation for the struggles of live-in nannies. 1 comments from 1 users

I've heard mixed reactions about the book, but I think it still sounds cute. I've had more than one babysitting disaster in my time - including the time a set of identical twins knocked over their Christmas tree, leaving me there to hold it up until a parent arrived. I haven't seen the movie, but I'd like to read the book.
