I really enjoyed this book and definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for a breezy, fun chick-lit.

Not a book with a lot of substance. The "mystery" really doesn't come into play until the end, although in retrospect there is a lot of set up to get to it. I found my self wanting to bop the main character over the head a few times. I liked the writing style - it was light and easy going - but the story left a whole lot to be desired.

Fresh out of an emotionally damaging relationship, heroine Charlotte Bell travels to Iceland to be a nanny to an Ambassador's daughter. Determined to start anew and become more courageous, she reads all 56 books in the Nancy Drew series. While there, she encounters a mystery that she will need all of Nancy Drew's wisdom to solve.

A good read to help pass the time!

Very funny book. I read it in about a day.

Chick lit with a little depth. I personally am not a huge fan of chick lit but this one was humerous and at some points feministic. Also, it takes place primarily in Iceland which I'm a world traveler and that motivated me to look up some info on the country. Besides that, not entirely memorable with the exception of nastaglia brought upon by the references to numerous Nancy Drew books. Some interesting quotes in the book "Sometimes the free fall out of love is quicker than the fall into it" (20), "One of the most important lessons life teaches you is to thell when a thing is over and its time to move on" (71), and "waiting for good things builds character" (125). I know that I enjoy books that have contemplative thoughts such as these.

I really wasn't a fan of this book. I was very unrealistic. I had a hard time getting through it...

I loved this book for some reason, maybe because the main character was a bookworm. The ending was pretty unbelivevable but so are many popular movies. Enjoy

A delightfully light book. Reminds me of my childhood and reading Nancy Drew books. As they say on tv, "2 thumbs up".

After being "fired" from her nanny job (due to the fact she got knocked-up by her employer), the main character decided to turn to all 56 Nancy Drew mystery books. Since I read, and still own, all 56 Nancy Drew books, I thought the author would refer to certain tidbits in certain books. Not at all. A mention of a title here and there but nothing else. The main character kept saying, "Hmmmm ... what would Nancy Drew do?" Excuse me but I think Nancy would have at least said no way to sex (with a married man) regardless of the situation. End of story.

Just average chick lit book, some different twists, but just not outstanding, just okay.
