Clare Elias has the perfect life. A successful, loving husband (maybe), a thriving business selling flowers (almost), and she is expecting her first (and second?!) child. What more could an independent, capable woman ask for?
Perhaps a nanny.
Jenna joins Clare's family to care for the new twins in what seems like the perfect situation (but not quite). Jenna's abusive boyfriend is becoming more and more needy and Jenna can't seem to break up with him, so living with Clare and her family simultaneously provides her with an income while also avoiding her obsessive boyfriend. It's perfect (kind of).
As Jenna and Clare provide much needed support for one another, they also find that unexpected feelings of jealousy and suspicion emerge.
If you read the back of this book, you will be told that this is an "...unforgettable story about the complex choices women make...".
But, is it really "complex choices" that are contained in the pages of this book or an unbelievable story line? Really, how many improbable events can happen in one woman's life? Twins. Abuse. Kidnapping. Insider trading. Betrayal. Accusations. Foreign travel. True love. And all in only six months? Come on.
I found that this book was a little outlandish and actually quite forgettable.

I was halfway through this book and determined that I did not like any of the characters. I thought maybe my mind would change after I finished the book, but such was not the case. I had a very hard time even finishing the book.
Almost reminds you of The Nanny Diaries, without the humorous and loving touches that makes The Nanny Diaries comically sweet.
A good book to read, and the personal struggles and triumphs that the characters experience is involving as well as entertaining.
The sad things of what things come to is remedied by a good ending that fit the book and left me with contented closure.
