| Justin's mission is to date bikini-clad beauties all summer long, and what better way to do that than to take a position as a nanny (or manny as Justin prefers) in the Hamptons caring for 4 year-old Aspen. What better way to meet girls and impress them with his Mr. Sensitive, Mr. Caring, Mr. I-Love-Kids-I-Can't-Wait-To-Have-A-Bushel-of-My-Own-Someday nature. |
| This light, quick read will certainly be a hit with pre-teen and teen girls looking for a light read. Justin's voice is fresh and funny- an a different perspective from the traditional chick lit narrators. Justin's sweet nature and cluelessness with girls will have most female readers eating out of the palm of his hand. It is relatively clean- partying is minimal (one scene though alcohol is mentioned) and the romance consists of kissing- which is described with minimal detail. The ending leaves a lot of unanswered questions and plenty of room for a sequel. |
