Book Description:
After being dumped by her rich, handsome boyfriend, Anna vows to give up men forever. She takes a job as a nanny in the ritzy Kensington home of the Knights. Armed with a Hoover in one hand and Harry Potter in the other, Anna finds herself living with the family from hell: Cassandra, a social-climbing romance novelist with writer's block; Jett, Cassandra's cheating rock-star spouse; and Zak, their spawn-of-satan son. So when Anna meets Jamie, the dashing heir to a castle in Scotland, she figures he's too good to be true. And she just may be right ...

Featuring an irrepressible heroine and a story that bounces along at the speed of laughter, Bad Heir Day is the hilarious follow-up to Wendy Holden's irresistible debut novel. It is a witty and delightful romp certain to captivate readers on both sides of the Atlantic.

The writing style in the beginning was very much like Bridget Jones' Diary and I was really getting into it. However, like the other reviewer, it did become a disappointment around the middle. At least it perked back up somewhat at the end.

A modern day, chiclit version of Mary Poppins. It's OK.

Well, despite having looked forward to reading this, I was disappointed. Anna was just too dumb for words and Cassandra just too distasteful. Zak needed discipline worse than any child I've run across in fiction-land recently, and seeing him not get it was frustrating. I finished it, but can't rate it very high at all.

I enjoy British writers and was intrigued to read this book at first but was somewhat disappointed in that it becomes somewhat soap-operish half way through. Still, though, an enjoyable read a la Bridget Jones\' Diary.
