Noted this new release when it was promoted in bookshops, then bought it on special. I was pleasantly surprised. Not your average chick lit; set in punchy, edgy, tough-talking New York in which Jamie lives and works, married to one of the rich set and living in "The Grid" bordered by 70th & 79th Streets and Park Ave & 5th Avenue. She hires a Manny (a nanny of the male persuasion)- a life changing decision with many repercussions. Great characters - my favourite is Ingrid. And of course Peter the manny is wonderfully depicted. A great, satisfying read!
