The Au Pairs

By: Melissa de la Cruz

Book 1 in the Au Pairs series


  Three very different girls depart from their homes for an experience that they have never had before. They are working together in the Hampton’s as Au Pairs. Eliza: Last year she was in the Hampton’s, but as one of the rich and famous. Now she has to hide it from her “friends” or she’ll loose them. Mara: She needs this money to pay for college, leaving her boyfriend behind. While in the Hampton’s her new roommate (Eliza) doesn’t think she fits in, her employer’s son falls for her, and she becomes the new IT girl. Jacqui: She comes to America to find Luca; she met him back in Brazil for only 2 weeks. Jacqui doesn’t care for the job but it grows on her after her summer of adventures.
  I enjoyed this book very much. It was entertaining, capturing, and interesting. One thing I didn’t like/liked was the number of chapters. When I started the book I could tell there were a lot of chapters which makes it seem like a long book. But Because of the large number it made the chapters smaller. Which I loved. It was one of the books where you find characters you love, characters you hate, and a few other things that were predictable and weren’t so predictable.

My favorite part of the book was when the girls found true friends and realized how magical a summer in the Hampton's can be.
My favorite of the 3 Au Pairs is Mara.
