Harper Kirkpatrick has been dumped by her longtime boyfriend Billy, and her funds are almost non-existent. Her party planner boss sends her to a party but its not the kids party she thinks it is. A bachelor party and she's the enterainment? She's horrified but doesn't back down and Cameron Bennett, the host of the party admires her spunk. She then answers an ad for a nanny and is horrified even more when it turns out to be that same good looking host of the party; he would be her boss. But the money is too good and her options too few so she goes for it. After all her job also includes a place to live in a really great place which she also really needs. She's so in over her head. What does she know about kids? Toddlers? And a toddler with an eating problem and sad eyes?
I liked:
- Harper's young, outgoing personality; she's flamboyant.
- Harper's outspoken, Chicago style head on approach to many situations
- Bella wasn't just a kid that was resenting someone else new in her life (which can be used a lot in stories. It can be true but I liked this approach.
- The unusual problem that Bella lived with and that it wasn't solved overnight. There were so many things that people tried that didn't work. Made it more real.
- The asthma angle to the story.
- Cameron had more to him than what you originally think, so different than you first see. He's not really all stuffy and stiff.
- Harper has such a tightknit loving family; those memories are included.
- McKenna (Harper's sister)
- Adam (Harper's friend and ally)
- her ex Billy, telling her she never finishes anything, it helped her in the long run
I really had no problem with the ending of the book although some of the reviewers said that it felt it was too rushed. Some parts of the book were somewhat predictable while others weren't. Still I did enjoy it.
