Nan, in her early twenties, goes to work for the wealthy X family to help put herself through college, and is shocked by their antics. Between raising the X's son Grayer, keeping on top of her studies, moving house and ensuring Mrs X's day runs smoothly, it's a wonder Nanny ever finds time to hang out with the gorgeous HH on the sixth floor. With divorce on the cards, Nanny finds herself caught up in the X's embittered world of power plays, lies and deciet. As communication rapidly breaks down, will Nanny be able to maintain the mental health of Grayer, despite the onslaught of Personal Problem Consultants, macrobiotic nutritionist and bilingual meals?

I can't believe how much I enjoyed this. I was ready to strangle Mrs. X right from the beginning, and felt so sorry for Nan and Grayer all the way through :(
I cannot understand why people like the X's have children, when they clearly cannot be bothered with them! Grrrrrr!!! LOL :)
