Outside Reading #1

The Au Pairs. By Melissa de la Cruz

This book is about the life of three different teenagers working in the Hamptons for the summer. They are au pairing for a family that has five crazy children they have to look over day and night, making them food, cleaning up after them, taking them where they have to go, and anything else they need. The teens thought it was going to be an easy summer job, living on the beach and all. But it's not what they thought it would be after two of the girls leave the work for the last one. While she stays home and watches the kids, the other two go out clubbing at night and living the party scene. All of the partying adds up when they come home at 5 in the morning and have to wake up a few hours later to take care of all the children. The days become a daily ritual, so they become used to the no sleep, partying, and babys to watch over.
