When Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus turned their bad experiences as nannies for stingy rich folk on the Upper East Side of Manhattan into THE NANNY DIARIES, I ate the book right up. No, they are not the Edith Whartons of their time; their particular sensibility and writing style harken back more to People magazine than anything else. It’s not that their observations about the people involved in these rarified circles isn’t entertaining or insightful; it’s just that there is a finite amount of insight to be had into the celebrity life.

About the Book

Twenty-seven-year-old Logan Wade is trying to build a life for herself far from her unhappy childhood in Oklahoma. Until she gets the call that her famous cousin needs a new assistant --- an offer she can’t refuse.

Logan hasn’t seen Kelsey in person since their parents separated them as kids; in the meantime, Kelsey Wade has grown into Fortune Magazine’s most powerful celebrity. But their reunion is quickly overshadowed by the toxic dynamic between Kelsey and her parents as Logan discovers that, beneath the glossy façade, the wounds that caused them to be wrenched apart so many years ago have insidiously warped into a show-stopping family business.

As Kelsey tries desperately to break away and grasp at a “real” life, beyond the influence of her parents and managers, she makes one catastrophic misstep after another, and Logan must question if their childhood has left them both too broken to succeed. Logan risks everything to hold on, but when Kelsey unravels in the most horribly public way, Logan finds that she will ultimately have to choose between rescuing the girl she has always protected...and saving herself.
