Book Description:
Alison Bell, 28, is barely getting by as a temp in Dallas when she spots an ad for what just might be an ideal job for her: working as a nanny for a rich family, with a possible relocation to New York in the near future. But when Alison goes in for the interview, she is horrified to discover the rich woman she'd be working for is none other than her high-school rival, Pepper McClintock, who is now married to Spence Smith, Alison's high-school boyfriend, whom Pepper stole from her.
Alison reluctantly takes the job at Pepper's insistence and finds it fraught with difficulties. Pepper and Spence's daughter is a nightmare and seems to despise Alison, and all of Alison's old feelings for Spence are reignited when she sees him again, causing her to overlook the sweet guy who is interested in her. An entertaining read, especially for twenty- and thirty-somethings who aren't where they thought they'd be, career- and romance-wise.

A cute story about a woman trying to seek revenge (even though she would never call it that) on the woman that stole the love of her life out from under her in high school and how does she go about it? By becoming their nanny 10 years later!!
This was my first Liz Ireland book and I really love the way that she writes. If you enjoy chick lit then this is a sure bet for you! The only things that I didn't REALLY LOVE about this book were the title because it gives away a lot and the ending because I felt it was like an alternative ending on a DVD, like Ireland was trying to hard not to be predictable... I guess that I just wanted something else to happen that didn't, but none the less it was a GREAT BOOK!! A very fast read.

If you ever lost a boyfriend and vowed to get him back, this book is for you. It's also satisfying insofar as the heroine realizes a lot about herself; you can se her growning emotionally throughout the book. A satifying read.

I thought this book was very good. Definitely one of the best "chick lit" I've read in a while.

There is nothing like going to work as domestic help for the girl who you threw poo on at her 5th birthday party..and then in high school she stole your boyfriend and married him. Alson does this..she becomes a nanny for Pepper..and falls in love with her daughter, August. What Alson then realizes is, she may have loved Spence in high school..but does she 10 years later??

Sometimes what you wish for - isn't really what you want.
