Synopsis: The book is a satire of upper-class Manhattan families. Nan is the primary caregiver young Grayer X. His father is having a secret affair and his mother shows little interest or patience with him. The book illustrates how Mrs. X and the other high-class Manhattan mothers take advantage of their nannies.

My Review: I didn't particularly enjoy most of the book, but it did somewhat redeem itself towards the end. While I knew going into this book that I was not the target audience, I had hoped to enjoy it more than I did. I found the stories and interactions to be forced and a bit annoying.
