The Nanny

The Nanny follows our main character, India, who takes a nannying position for a family with lots of secrets.

It started out really strong. You are quickly introduced to multiple suspicious characters, and you follow India as she is trying to determine what rumors to believe and who to trust. Throughout the book, we also get snippets of some letters India is writing to a friend from home, but we don't know much about this friend. I enjoyed the addition of the letters. They started to give a creepier vibe as the story went on.

I do think this could have been shorter. The pacing of the beginning and end was good, but the middle dragged a little to me, and it just seemed like a lot of the same type things were happening over and over in the plot. I was also liking the characters in the beginning, but as the story went on, I was getting a little bored by them and waiting for things to wrap up.

If you enjoy thrillers with romance and a main character who thinks she might be going insane, you should check this one out. It just wasn't a favorite of mine.

Thanks to NetGalley and Joffe Books for giving me a copy in exchange for a review!
