A Penguin First to Read ARC e-book in exchange for an honest review.
Lady Daniels is a 40 something living in Hollywood Hill. She is recently separated from her husband and wants a nanny to come watch her toddler while she writes a book about her life with her older son Seth, a non-verbal kid with nothing physically wrong with him. In comes “S” aka Esther Shapiro aka Esther Fowler.
S has fled Berkeley after her artist boyfriend leaves her for not being enough of an artist. She decides to take on a new project, becoming her mom. She finds Lady and starts to be her nanny because that was what her mother had done.
Both these female characters are irresponsible and complex in their dealings with other characters in the story. We learn that expression is more than just what we voice.
Lots of alcohol abuse, sex, lies and countless secrets are revealed. I did not care much for either Lady or S but the story line still kept me reading.
