Description
The Foreign Land of the Very Wealthy - otherwise known as Manhattan's Upper East Side - has its own rigid code of behaviour. It's a code strictly adhered to by the Wilder-Bingham family. Emotional displays - unacceptable. Unruly behaviour - definitely not welcome. Fun - no thanks. This is Glenn Wilder-Bingham's kingdom. A beautifully-displayed impeccably-edited fortress of restraint. So when Rosie Kitto, an eccentric thirty-eight-year-old primary school teacher from England, bounces into show more their lives with a secret sorrow and a heart as big as the city, nobody realises that she hasn't read the rule book. For the Wilder-Bingham family, whose lives begin to unravel thread by thread, the consequences are explosive. Because after a lifetime of saying no, what happens when everyone starts saying yes? show lessTags

This is a fun story woven around first-world problems in New York City. It is very well-written, with believable characters and a great sense of the location. The plot is a bit absurd but I daresay odder things have happened. Lightweight but very wise in parts.
Such a quick and easy read it does have a few adult sections in this book so I wouldn't recommend it for young readers but it's a really nice book about a British woman who becomes a nanny for an American family who are having issues and helps to bring them altogether, there's some surprising twists to the book that you don't see coming which is nice and it is very well written
I've also done a video review on Youtube which goes into a bit more detail if you are interested
